Countdown to KROC…Flashback 2005

Words and Photos by Scott Lukaitis

The 29th annual KROC took place over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of October in 2005. Some notable class winners included Justin Barcia in the 85cc 12-13, Lowell Spangler in the 85cc 14-15 and Supermini, Zach Osborne in the 125″B” and Phil Nicoletti in the Schoolboy class. Team Green rider Kyle Chisholm was the big winner of the weekend taking Saturday’s Collegeboy class as well as both Expert classes on Sunday.  Sunday’s 125 Expert and 250 Expert classes had the same podium with Chisholm taking the victories followed by Robbie Marshall in second and Barry Carsten in third. The special intermission races on Sunday were won by Barcia for the Top GunMini-Shootout, Nick Desiderio for the Kessler cup and Sean Hackley was the “Ironman Classic” winner.
