By Shan Moore Ty Howard was virtually unstoppable at round five of the CMRA Championship Roadracing Series held at MotorSport Ranch near Cresson, Texas. The Weatherford, Texas-resident won 5 of the 6 events he entered over the weekend and claimed over $11,000 in CMRA cash and manufacturer’s contingency money for his efforts. Howard rode a combination of Suzuki and Kawasaki machinery in order to make the most of the available contingency money offered over the weekend and posted wins in the Racing Performance Services B Superstock Expert race (which features a $150 purse), the C Superstock Expert (which features a $500 purse), the Pace American Trailers Formula 1 Expert race (which features a $1000 purse), the Sum of all Parts A Superstock Expert race (which features a $150 purse) and the RaceworX C Superbike Expert race (which features a $150 purse). Howard also added $150 to his take by winning the Mr. Corder Racing Fast Lap Award for turning the fastest lap during the sprint races. His only defeat came in the A Superbike Expert race, where he finished third behind Heath Small and Randall Kienast. Also cashing in on CMRA purse money were Will Gruy, who won the 125 GP ($250 purse) and Super Motard ($250 purse) races, Bryan West, who won the Racing B Superbike Expert class ($250 purse), Heath Small who won the Motorcycles Unlimited A Superbike Expert race ( $150 purse), Dane Westby, who won the lion’s share of the $500 purse paid in the Lightweight Twins Expert class and Jon Francis, who won the AF1 Racing Heavyweight Twins Expert class, which features an end-of-the-year cash award. Notable performances in the Novice divisions were turned in by Cory Burleson, who claimed seven Novice-class wins, and by Derrick Smith, who won two. Over 540 sprint entries, including 46 mini sprints, participated in Sunday’s sprint races, which were run in the clockwise direction. While on Saturday, CMRA officials turned away endurance entries in order to keep the grid at the 55-team limit. During Saturday’s endurance action, Village Idiots won round four of the Shogun Motorsports Endurance Series by two laps over series points leader Northwest Honda Racing in a race that looked as though it might go down to the wire. The 5-hour race, which pays an $1125 purse, featured several different leaders during the first three hours of action; however, the Yamaha R6-mounted Village Idiots went the full distance on the same set of tires, while Northwest Honda Racing required three rears to go the distance on their Honda CBR1000RR, which ultimately was the difference in the contest. With the second place finish, Northwest Honda Racing claimed the Formula 1 class-win, while Desert-Rats.net finished third overall and top A Superstock entry. KNMotorcycles.com finished fourth overall and were the top placing C Superstock finishers, while Faltless Racing won the Formula 2 division with a 13th overall. Overall winners Village Idiots were also first in the C Superbike class. In the Shogun Motorsports Mini Endurance event, which features a $250 payout, Team K&N took their third overall and Formula 4-class wins of the series and kept their record perfect for 2005 by claiming a one-lap margin of victory over second place finishers Team Jesus. Third place went to Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, while AF1 Racing won the Formula 5 division with a sixth overall finish. In the Formula 6 division, STD Racing took the win with a 16th overall and Excel won the Formula 7 class with a 25th overall finish. In Mini Sprint action, Tyler McDonald topped Zac Chapman for the Formula 4 win and Dennis Dudley edged Johnny Lee Clark for the Formula 6 win. In the Formula 5 division it was Anthony Smith taking the win over Derek Wagnon, while Dirk Anderson came home with the win in the Formula 7 class with Walker Keene finishing second.
