ZALUSKY MAKES HISTORY WITH THE CENTRAL ROADRACING ASSOCIATION Brainerd, MN Top racers from all across the Midwest gathered at Brainerd International Raceway for the third round of CRA racing action, held June 17-19. In addition to the fierce racing, history was made by racer Jessica Zalusky. After a high-speed crash on Saturday morning, Zalusky came back strong to make history aboard her Kawasaki ZX-10R by being the first woman to take the checkered flag in the Trophy Dash Race (Expert class Unlimited Gran Prix). Zalusky led all 17 laps to take the win with over a 20-second lead on second place. Dominating the Middleweight, Heavyweight, and Unlimited Expert classes, Wes Good, racing his Yamaha R6 and R1, and Shawn Conrad, racing his Kawasaki ZX-6RR and 10R, provided a great show of fierce racing. Good recently returned to racing after recovering from injuries sustained at BIR in May of 2005. In the Lightweight Expert classes, Jeff Japs, aboard his Yamaha TZ250, and Jace Porter, racing his Suzuki SV650, battled for the checkered flag, while Jay Bryant continued his domination in the Ulralight expert ranks on his Honda RS125. In the Novice ranks, Matthew Losen on his Honda CBR600, Jesse Smasal on his Suzuki SV650, and Nick Olsen on his Suzuki GS500 led the various Novice classes. Next on the schedule for the CRA is another round at Brainerd International Raceway, July 15-17. Despite the cancellation of the AMA National at BIR, the CRA expects a big showing of racers for the upcoming race. Top 15 Overall Experts as of June 19 1. Eric Haugo 2. Larry Denning 3.
