Jensen sets lap record at Midamerica during CRA weekend

During the last round of racing at Midamerica Motorplex held August 23-25, Central Roadracing Association’s very own, Robert Jensen, set the lap record of 1:31.913 aboard his Suzuki GSXR-750. Other Midwesterners, including Steve Atlas and Weg Pogue, came to join the fun, although conscious of the mud-filled infield due to the prior record-setting rainfall.

In 750 Supersport, Grand Prix, and Superbike Races, Jeff Kramer dominated the field on his Suzuki GSXR-750 fighting off Steve Johnson aboard the Tul-Aris. After a fulfilling season of racing AMA, Robert Jensen was victorious in the 600 Supersport Race, while Shawn Conrad dominated the 600 Superbike. In the Lightweight division, Bryant Soberg dominated Lightweight Supersport, Grand Prix, and Superbike Races. In the Novice 600 and 750 Races, Mark Nelson and Adam Dolney cleaned house, even with the uneventful swan dive of Dolney and his 600 into a mud-filled pond.

When it came time for the Dash for Cash, racers laid it all on the line. Jeff Kramer held a huge lead on second place, Jason Swan, in the Heavyweight Class and Shane Butts dominated the Lightweight Class.

In a twist of events, AMA Racer Jessica Zalusky, was fed up with the North Dakota hairstyle of Robert Jensen, so she took the sharpest scissors she could find and cut Robert’s hair. Robert was pleased with the do, although he did comment that Jessica should stick with road racing.

CRA would like to thank all of their workers and racers for their efforts during the Midamerica weekend. For more information on CRA, visit www.cra-mn.org.
