2012 NEATV-MX ATV
Racing Series Preview
New England ATV Motocross
Racing Series Starts April 14, 2012
Shelton, CT (4/13/2012)
- The New England ATV Motocross Series
is headed into its eleventh season with some
exciting classes sure to bring many riders and
spectators. Returning to the series is the pitbike
class held on Saturdays, as well as Trophy Karts,
which will be ran on the regular MX track. The
side by side class will return this season and
run with the new 4x4 class that will be like
a terra cross extreme style of racing. The track
for these classes will be on some motocross
track, but mostly logs, rocks, and mud; a real
mix of terrain. “I’m really excited
about the 4x4 class, and I think it is going
to grow really well” said President of
the NEATV-MX Series, Howard Payne.
This season the Pro class doesn’t
look to be very full, with only four riders
signed up to race in the Pro class so far. The
riders signed up are returning runner up Josh
Creamer who will be on a Can-Am/BCS Performance
quad, Travis Moore who is said to be riding
a Polaris this season, and two well known NEATV-MX
riders, Brad Burbine and Tommy Lombardo. “I’m
sure we will get visits from everybody, hopefully
even some national guys,” said Payne.
The Pro-Am class should be well stocked with
riders that have moved up from their classes
of last season.
“The memberships have been
rolling in strong as ever, and I think with
the weather looking good for this weekend were
going to have a good turnout,” said Payne
when asked about his outlook on the season this
year. Great contingencies will be offered again
this year and the sponsorships are going strong
with Can-Am, Maxxis, DWT, and Fly gear all signed
for the season.
This season the NEATV-MX series
will visit popular tracks like MX207 in Lyman,
Maine, MX338 in Southwick, MA, Hemond’s
MXP in Minot, Maine, Raceway Park in Englishtown,
NJ, and a few others. Labor Day will be a fun
weekend with a huge bash and a professional
fireworks display said to be planned at Hurricane
Hills in Clifford, PA. Twister Valley in Fort
Plain, NY is new to the schedule and will be
where the season finale will be held.
The season opener of the NEATV-MX
series will be at Walden MX, Wallkill, New York
this weekend, April 14 and 15. Hope to see you
there!
