Ronnie Higgerson went 1-2 in the Pro-Am Class to earn second overall at Muddy Creek on his BCS Performance powered Can-Am DS450 ATV

Blountville, TN (4/21/2013) –The weather conditions coming into Rd 2 at Muddy Creek Raceway were considerably better than those of Aonia Pass weeks before. The track looked great but would pose challenges as well but Higgerson was ready to take on the weekend. “I had points to prove coming out of Rd 1 and with favorable conditions this weekend, I knew I was going to have my opportunity”. Fighting horrid starts in both pro and pro am moto’s, Higgerson managed to pull out a top ten overall finish in pro and a well deserved 2nd in Pro Am.
  
Pro moto one saw Higgerson coming off the line in a less than favorable start but put his head down and began to charge. “My BCS Performance Can Am was flying and my Six5 Designs/Elka components were soaking up the rough track like nothing” The track was tight but Higgerson rode smart and picked off over 9 riders giving him his first top ten pro finish of the season.

The second pro moto Higgerson had a better gate pick and a better opportunity to get a decent start. Higgerson had a good jump off the gate but ended up getting tangled in the first turn with fellow rider Nick Denoble. After the two were going again, Higgerson was in 20th position and fired up. He passed another 9 riders throughout the moto giving him 11th for the moto and 10th overall for the day. Higgerson now sits 10th in points in the Pro Class.

Sunday rolled around and the first race of the season for the pro am class would line up on the gate after it was cancelled at Rd 1. Higgerson had a lot of confidence coming up to the first gate drop after a good day in Pro. The race was on and Higgerson had an 8th place start and began to make short work of the pack from there. Higgerson passed his way into the lead and checked out by 10 seconds by the checkers giving him his first moto win of the season.

Moto 2 saw another unfavorable start as Higgerson would be in 8th place once again off the start. Just like moto 1 Higgerson made quick work and made up a gap of over 7 second to catch the leader. For the rest of the moto Higgerson would battle intensely with leader Tim Dettling nearly making the pass for first several times but the checkers would see Higgerson finishing in 2nd place for 2nd overall for the day. Higgerson had THE fastest lap times of the entire day Sunday and was referred to as the fastest guy on the track that day.

“Like I said earlier, I had points to prove and I think I proved them here today. Hopefully people’s eyes have opened and they saw how much hard work and dedication I have put into my racing this year. I couldn’t do it without the help of my family and great sponsors. I’ll be looking to be in the #1 spot at rd 3 in Kentucky”, Higgerson stated at the end of the day.
