BCS Performance Racers Survive
NEATV-MX Round 1 Mud Fest NEATV-MX
- Round 1 - Walden MX - Wallkill, NY - April
25 2010
West Springfield, MA (4/29/2010)
– The BCS Performance Can-Am team made its
debut at the first round of the 2010 New England
ATV Motocross series and weathered the storm to
take three top ten finishes.
Walden MX in Wallkill, NY was the hosting facility
for the season opener of the NEATVMX series where
beautiful weather was on hand for Saturday’s
practice and youth classes, but conditions would
deteriorate overnight, and the tacky consistency
of the dirt would turn into a muddy mess, with
standing water over many sections of the track.
Due to the inclement conditions, race officials
decided to cut Sunday’s races to a one moto
format.

#22 Cody
Miller

As racers tried their best to get traction off the
start in the Open Pro class, Cody Miller was in
sixth off the line and would make his way past Jasmine
Plant and Vincent Mofford to take over fourth place.
Passing opportunities were scarce after that due
to poor visibility, so Miller would hang onto his
number four spot all the way to the checkered flag.
Miller would get off to a better start in the
Pro-am class, taking second in that holeshot,
but again poor visibility and a lack of traction
came into play as Miller tried to make a turn,
but ended up slipping off the track into a flagging
tower. Miller would fall to dead last, but put
on an impressive charge to come back for a sixth
place Pro-am finish. “It was a mess out
there, but BCS did a great job of prepping our
quads and my Can-Am DS450 held up to the challenge,”
said Miller.

Myles Santaniello ran consistently as he came off
the line in fifth place in the Open Pro class. Santaniello
held his position despite pressure from teammate
Ralle Rookey and finish in fifth place. In the Pro-am
class, Santaniello was again in fifth off the line
and would hold his spot until reaching the checkered
flag. Ralle Rookey put out a solid effort
in the Open Pro class to take a sixth place finish
behind Santaniello, but in the Pro-am moto, Rookey
was able to hook up off the start and was in second
place. Rookey held his position for several laps
despite

intense pressure from Joe Haavisto, but Rookey would
fall back when he and Haavisto would connect and
Rookey would go off the track. The young racer was
ok after his ordeal and managed to get back into
the number four spot before reaching the finish
line.
“I am really happy with how everything
went this weekend despite the horrible weather.
The team did a good job and our Can-Am DS450’s
were running great,” said BCS Performance’s
Jason Brazee. “We are really looking forward
to the next round at Jolly Roger. The weather
is supposed to be good, so the team will have
every advantage and be able to go out there and
ride at their top potential,” Brazee concluded.
Round two of the New England ATV Motocross Series
will take place on May 1st – 2nd at Jolly
Roger MX in Lempster, NH, which is a favorite
location among many racers, and should offer plenty
of excitement as the BCS Performance racers dive
head on into the 2010 championship battle.
