Review of rounds 3 and 4 - Oregon State Mortocross Championship 2007
Rounds 3 & 4 of the Oregon State Motocross Championship,
Held at Albany Motorsports Park, was a huge success with an unexpectedly strong entry list. Riders from all corners of the Northwest showed up with their best. The racing was premier with the field full of MX talent, all the way from the little bikes clean up to the Biggies. The Woman's class was quite exciting with Phoenix Oregon's Tessa Smith #45 Yamaha, Sunriver Oregon's Callan Graves #818 Kaw, Central Point's Krystle May #774 Yamaha on the big bikes and Bend Oregon's little Breanna McLuskie #626 Yamaha on her mean little 85cc dueling it out for the Points throughout the race weekend. Another bit of great racing was from the woman's beginner class. Jessica Tierney #541 Kawasaki from Eugene battled throughout the weekend with Shelby Vanslander #7 Suzuki from Salem Oregon. It was a throw-down well matched race with Miss Tierney claiming the Overall Saturday and Miss VanSlander was victorious in Sunday's racing.
Womans Beginner - Saturday's overall, Jessica Tierney 1st, Shelby VanSlander 2nd, Kelly Miller 3rd. Sunday's Race, Shelby VanSlander 1st, Jessica Tierney 2nd, Kelly Miller 3rd. Woman - Same Order both days 1st place went to Tessa Smith, Callan Graves 2nd, Krystle May 3rd and Brianna Mcluskie on her screamin 85 for the 4th position.

#17 Bill Naylor Portland, Oregon
This Motocross racer represents the spirit of the sport we all love so much. As it seems that most people over 75 years just scowl at the young folk who participate in motocross. Some may even suggest that the young people who participate in the sport are simply out of their minds. Tell that to Bill Naylor. Naylor can proudly stand toe to toe with any of the opposition. Anyone who may stand behind the fence and judge the sport of motocross racing. He is an athlete, a friend - and appreciated by all who attend the races or happened to have met him.
Bill Naylor can be seen at most events and practice days held at Albany Motorsports Park. Naylor is mentioned as a Hero of many of the folks who have known him.
Keep up the Good Work Bill..
