He would lead for a little while before Miller would make the pass for the lead, later Haavisto would also make the pass putting Bobby back to 3rd where he would finish the moto.

Southside Polaris' Bobby Ross scored the first Pro Moto holeshot just in front of #22 Cody Miller, #45 Rich Stambach, #1 Joe Haavisto, & #270 Jason Connell

In moto 2 Bobby would get out 3rd off the line and would close in on 2nd spot before they would get caught up in a corner where he would fall back to 7th and finish there giving him 6th overall for the day. In Pro-Am he wouldn’t get the jump off the line and have to make his way up through the field and would make his way up to the 7th spot.

Oklahoma's Caleb Schatz mde the trek to New England for round 5 where he did very well for his first time on the Polaris ATV going 2-2 in Open A & pulling the moto one holeshot in 4-stroke A

We brought in Caleb B. Schatz from Oklahoma for Round 5 and who will be here for the remainder of the season that doesn’t overlap with the TQRA Series as he is and will continue to pursue championships there. It was his first race on the Polaris Outlaw but he adapted very well and looked great out there going 2-2 for a 2nd overall in Open A. In the 4-Stroke A class he would get the moto 1 holeshot and lead some of the moto before having a mechanical issue but was still able to finish 7th.

In the 2nd moto we would get out mid pack but would get tangled and hung in one of the corners and it would take a while to get the quad re-fired, but he did and finished 9th, giving him a 7th overall. Caleb would also run the Pro-Am division this weekend and was running well in the first moto when he had a small get off and would have to settle for a 13th place finish. But in moto 2 he would have better luck was able to keep a good pace and ended up 8th in moto 2, giving him a 11th overall.

Southside Polaris' Bruce Gaspardi Jr. went 1-2 in Open B to take the overall win & then went 1-5 in 4-stroke B for 3rd overall

Bruce Gaspardi Jr. kept rolling on his hot streak, coming off great weekends at Mx-207 & Southwick. He got out 3rd in the first moto of Open B and would make his way to the lead and take the moto win. In moto 2 he would get out 4th and make his way up to 2nd but ran out of time to catch the leader, but he still would take the overall and extend his points lead. In 4-Stroke B he would get out 2nd and make his way into the lead and take the moto win. In moto 2 he would get out 13th and then blow the berm in the 3rd corner and fall back to 15th. He then proceeded to pass his way all the way up to the 5th position by the end of the moto on what Bruce called one of the hard tracks to pass on. He would finish 3rd overall for the day.

In Collegeboy, Bruce would get out 2nd and take the lead on the 2nd lap but would then get stuck on a berm and fall back to 6th and make his way up to 4th. In moto 2, he would get out 2nd but he and the leader would both get hung up in one of the corners and Bruce would all back to 6th. He would quickly make his way up to 4th but would be involved in another accident when a rider pulled back on to the track in front of him and causing them to get tangled up. Bruce would get the quad refired and make his way back into the 3rd spot then and he would make the pass for 2nd at the flag giving him 2nd overall.

“When I came around on the white flag lap, Garry wrote that 2nd place was 7 seconds ahead of me, so I just put my head down and put the best lap down I could, and was able to make the pass at the finish line, I was so excited.”

In the Production B class, Bruce would get out 4th and he and 2 other riders would get tangled in a corner and he would fall back to 5th. and make his way up to 2nd by the end of the moto. In moto 2 he would get the holeshot and hold on to the lead, taking the moto win and overall for the day.

Paige Whipple was on fire in all of her motos during Sunday's race but most noteably was her ability to lead the all-guy Open B class for the majority of the race until a slight mistake in a corner let her teammate Gaspardi slip by

Paige Whipple has also been on a hot streak and did not disappoint this past weekend taking three holeshots out of 4 motos. In the womens class, moto 1 would be the only time she wouldn’t get out first but she would make her way up to front of the pack and take the moto win. In moto 2 she would get the holeshot this time and never look back taking the win and the overall, extending her points lead to 56 points. In the Open B class she would get the moto one holeshot and was able to lead part of the moto before falling back to 3rd where she would finish. In moto 2 she would again get the holeshot and again would lead part of the moto but would fall back a couple spots and finish 4th in the moto and 3rd overall for the weekend which is an amazing feat for Paige be so competitive in the B class.

We are heading back to Mx-207 in Lyman, Maine for the 6th round of the 2010 Neatv-Mx series this coming weekend.
