AMA ATV MX Pro-Am Production
Class Heats Up at Budds Creek MX
AMA ATV MX Championship -
Round 4 - Budds Creek MX - April 17, 2011
Morgantown, WV (4/18/2011) - Sunday's
Pro Am Production class showcased one for the history
books as the top riders provided great racing action
at the fourth round of the AMA ATV Motocross Championship
Series presented by DWT. Although the Motoworks
Budds Creek event began with muddy conditions on
Saturday, the track was in great shape for Sunday's
Pro Am schedule.
Rastrelli, Martin, Madl on the podiumKentucky's
Casey Martin grabbed the moto one holeshot aboard
his Honda, followed by Florida riders Jeff Rastrelli
and Mark Madl close behind. Rastrelli kept Martin's
pace for the first couple of laps until he faded
back a bit, allowing Madl to get by for the second
spot. Madl mounted a hard charge mid-moto and
challenged Martin for the lead on the last couple
of laps. Finishing only 0.724 of a second behind
the leader, Madl gave it everything he had at
the end of the moto to get by Martin. Rastrelli
hung on for the third spot, followed by Aaron
Meyer and Kyle Fix to round out the top five.
The excitement from moto one carried over into
moto two, as the bar-to-bar racing action heightened
into what has been some of the best ATV racing
of the season. Martin captured the holeshot once
again, with Rastrelli and Madl on his tail. Halfway
through the first lap, Rastrelli made the pass
around Martin for the lead. Martin held second
until lap four when Madl slipped by, only to fall
back once again as Martin got him back in time
to secure the second place position. Rastrelli
took the moto two win with Martin and Madl only
a tenth of a second away in second and third.
This is how the top 3 was all day Casey Martin
currently holds the lead in the points standings
with Mark Madl only two points back. Aaron Meyer
sits in the third position with a mere one point
lead over the fourth place of Rastrelli. Ronnie
Higgerson is ten points back, rounding out the
top five.
The AMA ATV Motocross Championship Series heads
to Sunset Ridge MX in Walnut, Ill. May 7 and 8,
with Pro class racing starting at 1 p.m. Saturday,
