Drumheller riders earn top spots in Alberta motocross

    The season wrapped up two weekends ago from Drumheller’s motocross racers.
    A few Drumheller riders competed in all nine Alberta races and  took some of the top spots in the province.

A number of motocross riders in Drumheller were among the best in the province this season, including Daniel McNaughton (pictured), who went from racing in the junior division to intermediate. The season officially wraps up on October 26 in Airdrie for the annual awards banquet.

    Tori James finished the season in 2nd place in the 50cc division and 8th in the 65cc division.
    Barett Christensen won 1st place overall in the 65cc division and the 7-11 year old 85cc division. Barrett also finished 6th in the supermini.
    Spencer James was a close 2nd in the 7-11 year old 85cc division.
    “Spencer and Barett battle it out the entire season,” said Sherrry Christensen, with the Drumheller Offroad Vehicle Association. “No one knew who the winner was going to be from moto to moto.”
    Decklin Christensen placed 2nd overall in the 12-16 year old 85cc division and the supermini.
    Daniel McNaughton finished 13th in the Junior MS-2 and 12th in the MX-3.
    “He had a huge accomplishment at the end of the season, turning into an intermediate rider. Watch out for this guy, he has a lot of potential,” said Christensen.
    Dustin Fooks ended the season with an injury, a broken collar bone, but finished 16th overall in the Junior MX-3, and 28th in the Junior MX-2.
    Ben Fooks finished the season in 1st of the Vet Master Division and 16th in the MX-3 Intermediate Division.
    “The Drumheller Offroad Vehicle Association has some of the top riders across Alberta. The club is striving and the potential for these riders is only going up,” said Christensen.
    The final the event of the season is the awards banquet on October 26 in Airdrie.
