Valcourt, Canada (3/14/2008) -Team
Warnert/Can-Am racer John Natalie rode to a hard-fought
fourth-place overall and took the second-moto holeshot
at the ITP/Moose Racing AMA/ATVA ATV Championship
Series at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino,
Calif. The weekend marked his much-anticipated debut
on the Can-Am™ DS 450™ ATV, with Natalie
riding to the fifth-fastest lap time in qualifying
practice earlier during the race weekend. His lap
time was just behind Epic Racing/Can-Am's Greg Gee,
also on a DS 450.
"To have everyone qualify and take a fourth
overall made for a great national motocross debut
for the Can-Am DS 450," said Del Bohlman,
Product, Media Relation and Racing Manager for
Can-Am ATVs. "We are improving each week
and this just gives us more motivation to work
even harder for the next race."
The first race of the season saw all five DS
450 riders qualify to the weekend's two Pro 450
motos and saw two DS 450 ATVs finish in the top
10. Team Epic Racing/Can-Am's Sage Baker put on
an impressive ride on his DS 450 for ninth overall.
John Natalie
"I’m really excited about this season.
Can-Am/Warnert really came through. I think this
was probably the best debut I could ever have.
There were only a few jumps on this track, so
I can’t wait to go to Alabama for the next
round and really put the suspension to the test.”
Sage Baker
“The bike was running good. We made a couple
of small changes for the second moto and it was
even better. It is really nice to have the support
this year so I can concentrate on racing instead
of everything else."
The next round of the ITP/Moose Racing AMA/ATVA
ATV Championship Series is March 29-30 at Mill
City Raceway near Pell City, Ala. Visit www.can-amxteam.com
