North Adams, MA
(8/14/2014) - The team headed to Twister Valley for the seventh round
of the 2014 NEATV-MX Series. With a chance of rain for the weekend we didn't
really know what to expect but it turned out to be a perfect weekend.
Cody Paolella, has been a part of the Team Southside Polaris since 2011 and
the Polaris Outlaw is the only full size quad he has ever competed with.

It only took him 2 rounds to get on the Pro podium, a feat that only a few
can say they have accomplished on a Polaris, including Aaron Meyer, Casey
Martin, Bobby Ross, Travis Moore, Mark Gehring and Randy Lehr. Cody came
into the weekend on a mission, the Polaris/Mystik Lubricants/Gravely
machine felt great in practice on Saturday. In the last practice session we
did some tweaking to the FOX shocks, Walsh front end to get it perfect
and put on a freshset of Goldspeed Tires.

Cody Paolella took the win in both NEATV-MX Pro Motos to earn his first ever NEATV-MX Pro Overall Win. Paolella also finished 1-2 in the Pro-Am Class to win the overall
|
In the first moto Cody got out 5th and made a quick move into 3rd when
Hickson high sided coming out of turn 4 which bottled up Moore siding
Paolella into 3rd. He would eventually make his way by Young when he a chain
issue and then past Nacs Racing teammate Bluy for the lead and win. The
moto win marked Codys, Southsides and Polaris first ever Pro moto
win. (The closet we came prior was in 2009 when Meyer had led 7 ½ laps at
Southwick before spinning out in a corner to finish 2nd.) In moto 2 Cody
would again get out mid pack but with the Fox/Walsh/Goldspeed dialed in, he
would again make his way to the front to go 1-1 in Pro Open for first
overall on the day!
Moto 1 of Pro-Am came up and Cody again got out 5th, passed into 4th before
turn 2 and then into 3rd over the big table top. He would then make a nice
pass to the inside of Young for 2nd coming the finish line, and then the
following lap in the same corner, he would go to the outside of Bluy for the
lead and hold on for the moto win. In Moto 2 he would get out mid pack and
make his way up to 2nd, he would settle in there and take 2nd in the moto
behind Young for a 1stoverall on the day!
In other classes, Ryan Dupont would go 1-2 in the 4-Stroke A for a 2nd
overall and 1-1 in Open A for a 1st overall. Ryan currently leads both
classes. Kyle Paolella went 1-1 for a first overall in Collegeboy and
currently leads the points and went 3-3 for a 3rd overall in Open A, where
he currently sits 3rd in points.
This coming weekend we head up to MX-207 in Maine for round 8 where we look
to continue riding the wave of momentum! We hope to see yout here!
