Fourteen year old Jesse Janisch put it all together at the first round of Superbikers2 Supermotard competition and won the Premier Motard class.

Janisch aboard the Pro-Plates, DGTR Metalworks,Torque Center, Southeast Sales, Mid-Cities Motorsports CR250 Honda began the day like everyone else on a wet, cold, windy track. Practice was miserable but Janisch was beginning to like the sliding around on the slippery course. This was only this young dirt tracker/motocrossers second try at Supermotard racing. After a couple of sessions Jesse said," I really feel comfortable out there. I kind of hope it keeps raining because it will give me a better chance to run up front".

Run up front is exactly what he did by jumping into the lead through turn one at the start of the Premier heat race. Shane Meyers, Jeremy Deruyter, Scotty Diedrich, and Ben Carlson filled out the top five.
By the end of lap two Diedrich had moved into second and stayed there the rest of the race unable to make a move on Janisch on a quickly drying track. Deruyter took over third and Carlson slid into the fourth with Meyers holding on to fifth by the end of lap three. Lap four saw Carlson bump Deruyter to fourth and the order remained the same to the finish.

The Premier final saw a repeat of the heat race with the same five riders falling in line through turn one. Again Jesse was out front followed this time by Scotty Diedrich, Carlson, Deruyter and Meyers.
The opening laps saw good racing but no change in position. By lap five Janisch had opened a little gap on Diedrich and looked very smooth leading this race on a now dry but still cold, slippery track. The order remained the same to the finish with Janisch pulling away through traffic and taking his first ever Supermotard final event victory.

In other events Scotty Diedrich on his Caolle Bros. & Diedrich, Pro Motorsports 450 Honda ran away with the Middleweight Motard race with a 14 second victory over second place Shane Meyers and third place Ron Zastrow.

In Quad competition Frank Knoll and Craig Johnson had a super race for the lead in the Premier Quad class. Both riders were on Suzuki 500's and they were sliding through turns smoking tires the entire 15 laps while pulling a huge gap on the rest of the field. At the end it was Knoll on his Pioneer Engineering machine the took the checkers first with Johnson hot on his rear wheels.
