Tulsa Oklahoma's Snapp Brothers
- The Perfect Duo of ATV Racing
Chase & Corey Snapp AMA
ATV Motocross
Tulsa, OK (8/23/2010) - When
an athlete aspires to pursue the physically demanding
profession of an ATV racer, especially on the
National level, he must be prepared to dedicate
his life, along with his drive, desire and determination,
to the sport. Anything less spells failure. There
is no medium ground. You either make it, or you
don't. Mediocre finishes, outside the top three
at the end of a national season, will not turn
any ATV racing heads. You become a wannabe, an
unknown, a "Who?" in a heartbeat.

Pro-Am Production Champion #22 Chase Snapp
|
The Snapp brothers, Chase and Corey Snapp, of
Tulsa, Oklahoma do not fit into this latter category.
Over the past few years, after honing their skills
on the regional ATV racing circuit in and around
their home state, Tulsa's Snapp brothers have
been turning heads and building a solid reputation
for themselves.
In 2009, competing in the AMA-ATV Motocross Championship,
the premier ATV motocross series in the U.S.,
both Chase and Corey finished their inaugural
season with top five and top three finishes in
the overall rankings. When the 2010 season rolled
around, they upped their racing game to a point
that everyone on the national scene knew who the
Snapp brothers were and that, if you were a competitor,
you would have to deal with their aggressive style
of racing at each and every event. They were out
to win, nothing less was acceptable.

Pro-Am Production Racer Chase Snapp

In 2010, competing in the Pro/Am Production class,
the final stepping stone class before entering
the Pro ranks, Chase Snapp kicked off the 2010
National Motocross season with a win at the opening
round. From that point on, Snapp was the man to
beat in the class. When the eleven round season
concluded in mid-August, Chase found himself on
the podium in the overall series' points standings
with the National Championship.
He accumulated five wins and three other top
three event finishes to win the class title by
eight points. A slight margin, but a notable accomplishment
when one considers he fought off the attacks of
thirty six of the nation's top ATV racers.

Chase also competed in the Pro/Am Unlimited class,
finishing second overall on the season with one
win to his credit. The Unlimited class, run on
Saturday preceding Sunday's prime race events,
is utilized by many Pro hopefuls as a test and
tune class to prepare themselves for the Pro/Am
Production class which is run as the opening race
for the Pro program during an event's prime time
Sunday races.
Brother Corey Snapp chose to continue his rise
to the top by competing in the Production A class,
a class ranking just below the two Pro/Am classes.
With over sixty of the nation's top up-and-comers
competing in the class, the competiton levels
during the 2010 National season esculated to lap
by lap challenges for those looking to make a
name for themselves before jumping into the Pro/Am
ranks.

Production A Racer Corey Snapp

Corey, with three wins to his credit and three
other podium finishes, managed to break into the
top three in the overall series's standings when
the season wound down at the infamous track laid
out by Racer Productions at Loretta Lynn's Dude
Ranch in Tennessee.
Chase's performance in the Pro/Am ranks in 2010
has put him at the forefront of the "One
to be watched" competitors who are slated
to move into the Pro ranks in 2011. Corey's performance,
noting the fact that he finished a meager three
points out of second in the overall Production
A rankings, put his name in the spotlight as one
of the "Racers to be dealt with" in
the Pro/Am classes when the National Motocross
season kicks off once again in late March of 2011.
