Cody Miller |
Fortworth, TX (2/25/2011)
- Texas temperatures were exceptional for the TQRA
Series opener at Village Creek MX in Ft. Worth,
Texas. Sun shining, 75 degrees and lots of racer
enthusiasm!! Families, father/daughter and sibling
rivalries all lined up at the starting gate. New
members and returning members came to support the
biggest QUAD racing series of the Southwest. Entries
from Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico
and Louisiana contributed to over 150 entries and
400 spectators!
While all classes are growing, the Pro-Am, Expert,
Open B and Over 30 were impressive. Seven of the
quads on the starting line of Pro-Am and Expert
were Can Am DS 450’s. Snapp Brothers Racing
- Corey and Chase Snapp lined up against The Miller
Brothers, Hunter and Cody Miller and long time
TQRA rider Johnny Hale. All four moto’s
were battled until the end, with Can Am’s
taking the top four spots in both classes!
Chase Snapp walked away with a 1 -1 and both
holeshots in the Pro-Am class with Cody Miller
taking a 2-2. Hunter Miller and Johnny Hale battled
to the end in both moto’s giving Hunter
3rd overall and Johnny the 4th spot. Brent Sellers
made his racing debut on a 450 and clenched the
5th spot in Pro Am and a 1-1 in Open A. Open Expert
had the same results for both moto’s. Cody
Miller took 1st, Hunter Miller 2nd, Johnny Hale
3rd and Snapp Brother, Corey 4th. This series
promises a lot of bumping, tire rubbing, airing
out and great competition!
The Open B class had a full gate with 18 riders
lined up! Pake Shinn also made his 450 racing
debut, moving up from the Blaster class. He rode
his way to a 1-1 finish. Cross Country rider Travis
Brown, riding a Can Am, took 2-2 and TQRA newcomer,
Brandon Clark took 3rd. The most impressive finish
of the entire race day was female, Rachelle Lewis
– former TQRA Women’s Champion, took
4th overall. Rachelle stuck with those boys through
the first turn in both moto’s and rode flawlessly.
I’m sure there were some riders looking
at that ponytail when the helmet came off!

Shannon Klaassen took second place in Over
30 A Class |
Who says older gents can’t ride? Guess
they weren’t watching the Over 30 class!!
With 25 riders combined for Open Over 30 A and
B – there was competition in the hole shot,
corners and air. Top 5 finishers in 30 A were
Jeremy Stegall, Shannon Klaassen, Shelton Cooper,
Scott Dunn and Jeff Reeves. Top awards in Over
30 B went to Eddie Shafer, Dale Alexander, Brandon
Johnson, Zeb Beard and Rich Standish.
