Greenbriar, AR (7/10/2008) -
Round #5 of the Atva Extreme Dirt Track Nationals
got underway this past weekend at Tri City Speedway
in Pennsylvania. As with every round so far this
year rain played a big part in the weekend. Thursday
evening practice was cancelled due to heavy rains
pushing practice, qualifying and racing to Friday.
The Herrick crew did a spectacular job prepping
the track for the rain and with a little work
in the morning the track was ready for racing
and held up great all day.
Mitch came into the weekend eager to get back
on his quad and put the last last few weeks
behind him. After the Unadilla round of the
MX nationals Mitch was injured in a practice
crash leaving him unable to mount a serious
charge at round #4 of the EDT series "it
was extremely frustrating not to be able to
race at Danville, that was one of the most humbling
experiences of my life. Just rolling the track
for points is something i never want to do again"
Reynolds said.
Two weeks prior to this event Mitch re-injured
his hip and shoulder at the Muddy Creek MX national
and spent very little time on his quad leading
up to Fridays race.

As darkness fell over the Tri Cities Speedway
the Pro's hit the track for some of the closest
racing this year. Mitch would finish 3rd in
his Pro heat and 1st in the Pro Am Lites heat
race "the track was fast and i was a bit
rusty, i haven't been able to ride much lately
because of some injuries but i really liked
the track layout. I also think it was great
that Tim and Daryl came out to race with us
and Sage Baker also ran his first TT this weekend"
When it came time for the mains the air was thick
with anticipation. The top pro's were all running
comparable times and the track was now perfect
for racing. Mitch was struggling with his starts
but felt good about the rest of the track and
finished with 3rd in both the Pro class and Pro-Am
Lites. "I'm happy with my results, it's been
a tough year but i think it's coming around"
