- Over the weekend, the ATV Promoter's Group (ATVPG)
and the AMA ATV Motocross Championship welcomed
hundreds of members of the ATV motocross industry
to the Grand Resort Hotel and Convention Center,
in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., for the 2011 ATVMX Awards
Banquet. An enjoyable evening honored this season's
champions in the AMA ATV Motocross National Championship
presented by DWT, in addition to the many individuals
who played an integral part in a successful year.
Saturday's celebration served as the final opportunity
for all members of the ATV motocross community
to come together as a whole and relive the moments
that highlighted the most prestigious and longest
running ATV motocross series on the planet. The
top ten finishers from each of the thirty-seven
classes as well as the top three finishers from
the North and South Challenge were given well-deserved
recognition for their efforts at this year's banquet.
Florida's Mark Madl received top honors of the
night, claiming the premier Pro Am Production
Championship title and also taking home the Rider
of the Year Award. Pennsylvania's Elizabeth Vogt
took home an array of hardware after Saturday
evening's celebration, including a top ten in
the Girls (8-15) class, a Championship in the
90 CVT Limited (8-15) class and the coveted Youth
Rider of the Year Award, amongst several talented
young ATV racers.
In a highly competitive Production A class this
season, Ohio's Tyler Hamrick claimed the title
over 450 A Champion Dalton Millican of Tennessee.
Hamrick was also chosen as this year's Most Improved
Rider due to his steady progress on the track
