ENGLISHTOWN, NJ, JUNE 7
For the week leading up to Sunday’s racing action, Central New Jersey was under siege from Mother Nature. A solid week of rain blanketed the area and even forced the cancellation of Saturday’s Peewee and Pit bike racing. But Sunday morning dawned a new day with sunny skies and mild temperatures and perfect track conditions. The Carl Anderson designed track posed some new obstacles including a new grandstand section and the return of the popular elevator to its original glory.
In the first 450″A” moto of the day Honda mounted Sal Calamita grabbed the holeshot and jumped out to an early lead. Behind Calamita was a fast class of Expert racers including Ronnie Stewart, Zach Raus, and Anthony Roth. Stewart would eventually work into the lead and set off with the win. Behind Stewart at the line was Roth and Raus, second and third, early leader Calamita crossed the line in fourth. Moto two saw Stewart tuck inside of Roth in the first turn to grab the holeshot. Riding an excellent race Stewart began to pull his Ocean County Powersports backed Suzuki away the field. Behind him Raus, Roth, and Calamita were involved in a dogfight for the number two position. When the checkered flag fell it was Stewart with the win followed by Raus in second and Calamita third. Stewart’s perfect 1-1 gave him the overall followed by Raus (3-2) and Roth (2-4).
On his first day in the expert class, Sal Calamita proved he would just right on in feet first. The Honda racer jumped out to an early lead to take his first expert class moto win over the Suzukis of Ronnie Stewart and Mike Tippin. The second would start out much the same as the quick starting Calamita again grabbed an early lead over Stewart and Deptford Yamaha mounted Dan Bogdan. Calamita lead for several laps until Stewart saw his chance and went for the inside pass in the middle section of the track. Stewart tucked inside and motored away taking the victory. Calamita held on for second with Bogdan grabbing the final step of the podium. Stewart’s 2-1 would beat Calamita’s 1-2 for the overall. The consistent Tippin went 3-4 for third overall.
