Twinsburg, OH (6/12/2015) - Wicked
Bilt/ Can-Am drivers David Plavi and Treavis Poynter
fought electrical problems and are looking to bounce
back after difficult runs at the John Penton GNCC.
Treavis Poynter, in the XC1 Pro UTV Class, was
running third when a fuse blew and his machine
lost power: “I was reeling in (second-place finisher)
Mouse Pratt. I hit a jump, a fuse blew and we
lost power. It’s unfortunate,” said Poynter
Though Poynter is effectively out of the championship
points chase, he’s not giving up: “We’re going
to run for wins going into the next round. The
first two races were great, but the last race
and this race just weren’t meant to be. I’m going
to do a lot of testing in the summer break. We
may also run some other races. We just want to
get dialed in for October,” said Poynter
David Plavi had a great start in the XC2 Pro
Sport Class. After falling back in the dusty conditions,
he was charging back through the field when a
blown fuse also ended his race early: “My machine
fired instantly, we beat everyone off the line
and got the holeshot. The dust got really bad,
and we fell back. I was charging back through,
landed a jump, and the car shut off,” said Plavi.

Plavi remains in contention for the GNCC XC2
Pro Sport SXS Championship. He sits fourth, just
six points out of the lead: “This will definitely
be my throwaway. I am still in the points chase.
We’re going to do a bunch of testing and practice.
I want to keep all of my stuff on point.”
Both Plavi and Poynter will return to UTV competition
when the GNCC UTV classes return to action after
UTV racing summer break on Oct. 20th at the Powerline
Park GNCC in St Clairsville, Ohio
