CMRA RIDERS DOMINATE AMA GRAND CHAMPIONSHIPS AT MID-OHIO

Riders from the CMRA (Central Motorcyle Roadracing Association) dominated both days of competition at the 2004 AMA Sport Road Race Grand Championships at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, July 20 & 21. A total of nine CMRA members raced in a variety of classes against riders from across the country.

The designated CMRA three-rider team of Ty Howard, Ben Thompson and Logan Young won the 2004 AMA Sports Road Race Club Challenge Championship, with strong rides from all three riders. Their best results were combined, giving them the win over strong teams from ASMC, CCS and WERA.

On top of the Team Challenge Championship, Logan Young, 20, from Houston, Texas, was presented the prestigious AMA Horizon Award for 2004. The Horizon Award is presented to riders in different AMA Sports disciplines, and is determined on a rider’s on-track performance, sportsmanship and personality. Logan won the award among a tight field of competitors, with inspired rides from grid positions based on random selection, some as far back as the 17th row.

“I want to thank so many people,” said Young. “The CMRA was kind enough to allow me, Ben and Ty to come here and race for them. Hopefully, we represented them well. My goal was to come here, finish well and not tear anything up. It’s just starting to sink in that I won the Horizon Award.”

In addition to the riders listed above, the CMRA was also represented by Scott Beckley, Bill Drake, Phillip Lawlis, Kevin Pate and Heath Small.

Congratulations to all!
