Parts Plus / Nitro Fish' Dalton Millican Top Ten at Sunset Ridge
AMA ATV MX Championship - Round 4 - Sunset Ridge - May 19 , 2012

Millican began the weekend with a holeshot in Moto 1 of Pro Am Unlimited and finished in 4th place. In Moto 2 he found himself tangled up with some other riders in the first turn, which caused him to fall back in the pack. While trying to make up some lost ground Millican crashed, ending his hopes for a good finish. Millican had an overall 16th place finish for the weekend in the Pro Am Unlimited Class.

Sunday morning timed qualifying got underway for the Pro Am Production Class with Millican securing the 8th qualifying position. He took his 8th spot and used it to his advantage to be first out of the gate getting the holeshot. Millican battled the entire Moto near the front of the field holding on for a 5th place finish.

Moto 2 of the Pro Am Production class did not go nearly as well for Millican. This Moto saw the effects of the earlier crash in the Pro Am Unlimited class cost him any chance of a good finish. Millican began having handling problems from a broken steering dampener, which slowed him to a 13th place finish. Millican was still able to salvage a 9th place overall for the weekend.

At the end of the event Millican was realistic in his review of the weekend’s activities, “This was a wild weekend for sure. I crashed the bike twice and that certainly kept the Nitro Fish Team busy with all kinds of repairs. I don’t know what I would have done without the help of Keith Little. Keith was changing A-Arms, spindles brakes you name, it he did it. I am glad we were able to salvage a Top Ten finish out of this”, Millican said.
