Millville,
MN (6/11/2011) –
With things shaping up in many of the 2011 ATV
MX classes there are a few classes with battles
still up in the air, and a few of the mini classes
with titles all but in hand. A few of these names
may be fairly new to the circuit, and a few of
them may be fairly well known. Some of these names
may just be around for years to come as they have
made their way through the 50's, 70's, 90's and
are now on larger quads. A few of them may be
here just for the season as they grow and move
into other sports. What I can tell you is there
has been some great racing this season, and the
season still has stories to be told before it
ends. We will start with the smallest of riders
and work our way up to the Schoolboy classes pointing
out many of the stand out riders and classes that
are still a toss up in points.

50
CVT (6-8) points leader #44 Bryce Ford (left)
has a 15 point lead ahead of fellow ATV
Racer #84 Cayman Wilhelmus (right) |
In the 50 Limited Jr (4-6) class, Ethan Ahlm
from Cumming, GA comes to the races to win. Ethan
has made all but one round so far and has five
wins, a third and a no show. Ethan will make a
few more rounds and lock up his title at this
rate. In another 50 class, the 50 CVT (6-8) points
leader is Bryce Ford. Bryce has a comfortable
lead, but Cayman Wilhelmus is in second place
in the class and will have to make a serious charge
with four remaining races and Ford would have
to have a bit of bad luck for Wilhelmus to take
over the lead.

| #25
Lane "The Dude" Baird has swept
the 50 Sr. (6-8) class by winning every
round he has raced. Baird currently has
a 46 point lead ahead of second place |
In the Final 50cc class Lane Baird from Baird
Motorsports is cleaning up in the 50 Sr (6-8)
class. Emily Bowyer sits second in the class,
but Cayman Wilhelmus joined the class four races
into the season and is on the hunt to take over
the second place spot if he stays in the class
for the season. On a side note, Baird is from
Morganfield, KY where many ATV champions live
like Bill Ballance and Jeremiah Jones. Baird could
be one of those riders to keep an eye on as the
years progress. Baird goes by the Nickname "The
Dude", so keep an eye on that dude!
The 70cc classes have some great battles brewing
but it comes down to attrition with a few of the
riders. The 70 Single Speed (6-11) class is one
of those classes. Currently Eli Hopkins is holding
the points lead in this class with Jordan Digby
in the number two spot. Digby has two wins thus
far this season, but most of the other races have
had some form of mechanical issue that keep him
off the podium. Dispite his mechanical issues,
Digby still has a chance to capture the spot if
he can finish the last four rounds. Justin Palmer
is close on his heals with only a few points back,
and will take away that number two spot if Digby
can't get back on track.
