From a press release issued by the CRA Press Office:

DiSalvo and Ruehle lead the pack at the Colonel’s Brainerd Intl. Raceway prior to the AMA National

As flood warnings sounded at the Colonel’s Brainerd International Raceway in Minnesota, racers held nothing back during the Central Roadracing Association Race held June 22-23.

Having scheduled the race one weekend prior to the AMA National, AMA racers including Jason DiSalvo, Greg Fryer, and Eric Haugo surfaced to challenge the CRA club racers.

After the rain subsided Saturday morning, Robert Jensen dominated the 600 and 750 Supersport races, along with JJ Roetlin cleaning up in the Unlimited class.

In Lightweight SuperSport, Bryant Soberg dominated, while Brad Frey took the win in Ultralight Supersport. Later in the afternoon, Bryand Soberg, once again, cleaned up the Lightweight Trophy Dash.

In the second Trophy Dash comprised mostly of 600s, Gary Carter led the grueling race after multiple re-starts, while young gun, Steve Atlas, held on to 2nd overall. Later in the afternoon, Scott Ruele, expert points leader for the CRA, dominated the 3rd Trophy Dash comprised mostly of 750s and 1000s.

After an increase in the chance of flooding rains for most of Sunday, the Colonel’s track remained dry for an exciting afternoon of Superbike and Grand Prix racing.

Jason DiSalvo dominated multiple races, including 750 Grand Prix, and per his request, was removed from all the CRA results and points lists.

In both 600 Superbike and 600 Grand Prix, Kevin Gordon took home the top finishes, while Adam Domley and Brad Kreller, novice racers, took home the multiple wins in the novice races.

In the Unlimited Superbike and Unlimited Grand Prix, Scott Ruehle, once again took home the top finishes.

In the lightweight races, Ritchie Omdahl and Darek Pugh took the some of the top finishes.

With the AMA National scheduled at the Colonel’s Brainerd International Raceway for June 28-30, CRA racers including Robert Jensen, Jason Hobbs, and Scott Ruehle, to name a few, will give the AMA top racers a run for their money.

CRA would like to thank all the racers and cornerworkers for all of their support and efforts. If you would like more information about how to become involved in the CRA, please visit www.cra-mn.org
