2005 CMRC Pro Motocross National
Regina Saskatchewan
Regina Moto Valley Raceway
After a heavy rainfall Saturday night, everyone thought the last stop of the western rounds of the CMRC Canadian Motocross Championships in Regina, SK was going to be another mud race. We awoke, however, to sunny skies. Considering every stop of the 2005 season had been hampered by nothing but rain and muddy conditions, it was great to finally see the sun. With the positive weather change, exuberance was definitely in the air. At this round the umbrellas were not required for stopping the rain, but the piercing rays of the sun.

With four out of four overall victories -- two of which were clean sweeps -- Dusty Klatt left no doubt behind that he was the supreme ruler of the '05 CMRC MX2 West Championship. Klatt, who carried a cushy 32 points lead heading into the final round of the title hunt in Regina, SK, clinched the championship with a victory in the first moto. In the second moto, the defending champ scooped the overall by finishing 2nd behind Shane Bess.

"There were a lot of fast riders in the series but that only motivated me to ride that much harder. My goal was to repeat as champion and everything worked out great," said Klatt. "I'm extremely happy to have come out with another championship for Team Honda Blackfoot Fox who provided me with excellent equipment and support. I'd like to thank them for their confidence in me, and my mechanic Jon Balducci for keeping my bike in the mix every weekend."

While the final round of the MX2 West Championship was the high mark of the weekend, the premier MX1 title chase unfolded as another Jean Sebastien Roy show. In keeping with the success of his Blackfoot teammate Klatt, JSR made short work of the competition to claim his third clean sweep of the season.

Multi time champion Blair Morgan, still struggling with the results of a snocross leg injury, carded 5-8 motos in his home province national. The Prince Albert, SK native took his Morgan Racing Yamaha to 6th overall for the day.
