Race Craft's Cody Gibosn took the win in
both the Pro-Am Production & Unlimted
Classes at Sunset Ridge |
Live Oak, FL (5/25/2012) - Wash
Race Craft headed to Sunset Ridge for AMA ATV MX
round 4 at Sunet Ridge this past weekend. There,
Walsh race Craft's Cody Gibson would once again
top the podium.
In the Pro-Am Unlimited
class on Saturday the track conditions were the
roughest that we have seen yet this year. In the
moto one qualifier Cody Gibson and the Walsh Race
Craft CRF450 Hybrid ATV continued where they left
off from round 3’s main event, as they pulled
the Holeshot and rode away to victory.

Cody
Gibson has pulled almost every Holeshot
since round one on his Walsh Race Craft
CRF450 Hybrid ATV |
In the main event they repeated with another
Holehot and uncontested victory, taking both moto
wins for 1st overall.
On the 4 events for the 2012 season- 1-1-6-1=
105 points (second place has 70 points)
Pro-Am Production Class
This is where things got a little more interesting,
in qualifying, Cody Gibson turned the fastest
lap time of any rider in any class all weekend
with a time of 01:36.4. The second fastest lap
time was recorded by Pro Joel Hetrick with 01:37.1
In moto one, Gibson pulled the hole-shot and
maintained a comfortable lead all the way to the
checkers.
As the main event got underway, Gibson took the
Holeshot and we all expected to see a breeze to
the finish line, but as the moto went on Gibson
started to feel fatigued from all the laps he
had put in all weekend. On lap nine Casey Martin
was starting to challenge Gibson for the lead
and he made the pass. Being that Gibson was too
tired to ride to his full potential and since
Casey had a poor moto one finish, Cody played
it smart and maintained second place and take
the overall win with moto scores of 1-2.

On the podium after the main event Cody Gibson
said “I always want to win, but I got kind
of tired in that second moto and Casey caught
me off guard a little, but I still got the overall
and that’s what counts.”
On the 4 events for the 2012 season- 1-1-1-1=
120 points (second place has 77 points)

Race Craft's Cody Gibson holds down the
points lead for both the Pro-Am Production
& Unlimted Classes |
As the gate dropped on moto one Cody Gibson and
the Walsh Race Craft CRF450 Hybrid ATV were well
on their way to taking the Holeshot, but as they
approached the corner the Hybrid shut down, due
to a failed stator and they were forced to watch
the race from the sidelines. With a DNF in moto
one, Cody had to go to the last chance qualifier.
In the LCQ Cody pulled the Holeshot and rode on
to take the win. This gave Cody Gibson a 9th place
finish in moto one.
In moto two Cody Gibon and the Walsh Race Craft
CRF450 Hybrid ATV pulled their third straight
main event Holeshot on the Pro-Am Unlimited class
(had it not been for the failed stator, we feel
confident in saying that Cody Gibon and the Walsh
Race Craft CRF450 Hybrid ATV’s holeshot
/ win streak would still be perfect). Once again
Cody Gibson proved to be the dominant rider in
this class, as he would ride on to take the main
event win.
With the score of 9-1 Cody was awarded 6th place
overall.
Pro-Am Production Class
Cody and the Walsh LT-R450 continued to prove
dominant as they pulled the Holeshot on the moto
one qualifier and rode on to victory, giving Cody
the first gate pick for the main event. And yet
again as the gate dropped on the Pro-Am Production
main event, Cody pulled the hole-shot and rode
on to victory, uncontested!
With the score of 1-1 Cody was awarded 1st place
overall.
