Nanaimo, British Columbia
A grand finish
It was a perfect end to the CMRC Vancouver Island Spring Series
After round two was cancelled—due to too much snow—at the Wastelands in Nanaimo back in April, the day that the club picked for a rescheduled date could not have been more perfect: there were clear skies, a good track and lots of people. It made for some great racing. This was the last race of the CMRC Vancouver Island Spring Series and some of the series winners were to be decided on this day.

In the Ladies class, it was Camille Baker of Nanaimo who roared out of the gates and built a lead each lap in both of the motos. That left Paige Hansen and Amy Aspell to battle it out in each of the motos. Hansen held off all attempts by Aspell to get past. In the afternoon moto Aspell had to battle back from last place as she went down early in the moto. By the time the white flag came out, Aspell had worked up to third place and was putting pressure on Hansen but it was too little to late. Baker went away in first place while the battle of Port Alberni was won by Hansen and Aspell took third overall.
Hansen’s brother Dylan was in a battle as well this weekend. Dylan rode in the 85 c.c. 11-16 class and he was up against some great riders. He tried to take first place away from Jordon Piccolo of Parksville. Dylan was the first through the hole shot but was unable to hold off the charge from Piccolo, who took first overall. Dylan had to settle for second overall for the day. Third overall went to James Cool of Sooke.
There was some great riding in the 50 c.c. 4-6 class this weekend. Jacob Piccolo came over from Abbotsford and it was a great day for him as he took home first place for his riding effort. Michael Masters of Campbell River gave his best and was rewarded with second place overall for the day. Damon Balaux of Victoria also rode well this weekend and went home with third place overall for the day.
In the older 50 c.c. 7-8 class there were some real battles for the lead between three Salt Spring Island riders. In the end it was Harrison Bradley who took home first place overall. Austin Archer did his best to try and take first place but had to settle for second place while Whyte Scheres took third place overall.
Campbell River rider Andrew Belin put on a riding school again this weekend. He rode in the Youth class and the GP Pro class. In the Youth class he had to get past Eric Wickman of Courtenay, who was the first through the hole shot in both motos. Once he was out in front, Belin was untouchable. He built a huge lead by the end of the moto in both the morning and the afternoon motos and went home with first place overall while Brayden Riddell of Parksville took home second place and Wickman third.
Belin was untouchable in the GP Pro class as well. He rode away with the overall win for the day while Nick Syrotuck of Nanoose Bay took home third place overall. Ryan Bachinski of Mill Bay took home third place.
Tom Garrow of the Monkey Butt race team was the rider to catch in the 40 Plus class. He took first overall for the day back to Victoria with him. Second place overall went to Duncan rider Grant Peet and third place overall went to Campbell River rider Greg Koopman.
It was a good day of racing for Port Alberni rider Adam Dockendorff this weekend. He returned home with first place overall in the MX1 class. Second place overall went to Duncan rider Justin Lundstrom and third place for the day went to Courtenay with David Mouat.
Mouat also had a good day in the Vet Junior class this weekend. He returned home with first overall for the day. Second place went to David Cottle of the Lower Mainland and third place overall went to Lake Cowichan rider Rocky Wise.
There was a real battle on the track in the MX2 class between Bryce Adams of Powell River and Courtenay rider Brayden Olson. When the day was over, it was Adams who returned home with first place overall and Olson second. Third place overall stayed in Nanaimo with Kyle Morlok.
