108 riders competed at the Pleasure Riders night hill climb on July 8, with Shane Green and D.J. Compton emerging as the fastest of the fast.

            Green first set the fast time in the first round on his YZ250 in the 250cc class, flying over the top in 4.252 seconds to take that class lead into intermission.  He was the only rider to beat that time himself in the first round, as he sailed his CR500 high over the 155 foot hill in a sizzling 4.198 seconds to take the 600cc class lead, and the Fast Time, in to the intermission break.

            But in second round racing, D.J. Compton blitzed the hill on his KX500 in an outstanding 4.103 seconds to snatch the 600cc class win and Fast time from Green.  Green’s first round ride held up for second place with Justin Green claiming third.   

            Green still enjoyed a double win evening as his first ride in the 250cc class held up for that win, with Mark Schroeder claiming second in 4.632 seconds on his Yamaha.  Schroeder brought his stock length YZ250 back later to win the 400cc Stock class with a 4.399 second run with Compton running second.   

              Green’s second win came in the 450cc class on his KTM 380, where his first round 4.387 second run held up for the win.  Scott Pearson, riding a CRF450 thumper, placed second in 4.584 seconds.

            11 year old Dakota Blakeney was the fastest of the youth riders.  Riding his Cr85 Honda, Blakeney carded a 5.049 second ride on his first attempt to win the 85cc Junior Mini class, and claim the Youth Fast Time trophy. ‘Jammin Joe’ McGurer was his closest challenger with a 5.594 second time on his KX85.

            In other youth action Garett Holycross was the 50cc winner on his KTM with D.J. Watson second. Logan Moody was the best in the 65cc class with Brett Kalaher second, while Dylan Brady was the best in the Senior Mini class and Jeremy James second.
