ATVA ITP Moose Racing National Motocross Series Round #4 - Echeconnee Macon, Georgia April 14-15, 2007

Despite the heavy rain the night before, by the first Moto, the track was in great condition and they were even better for Moto Two

The deep sand at Echeconne posed a big challenge to the riders, but the degree of difficulty ratcheted up further when heavy wind and rain dumped three inches of water on the track on Saturday. Track crews worked all night to bring the track around, and the sand helped drain enough water to salvage great racing by the time the motos kicked off under cool, overcast skies on Sunday afternoon.

Wimmer grabbed the ATVRiders.com Holeshot in moto one, with his teammate Doug Gust in second and Lawson third early on. Lawson and Gust battled back and forth for the whole moto, repassing each other a few times. Lawson tried a last-ditch effort to get around Gust on the last lap but came up short, giving the Yoshimura Suzuki team a 1-2 finish. Lawson, Byrd and Harold Goodman rounded out the top five.

#191 Dustin Wimmer claimed the ATVriders.com Holeshot Award both Motos ahead of his teammate #55 Doug Gust

Wimmer jumped out to the ATVRiders.com Holeshot again in moto two, with Byrd, Lawson and Gust close behind. The foursome battled in close formation for most of the moto, until Byrd finally got around Wimmer late, as Wimmer wisely backed off knowing he still had the overall win sewn up with a second place. Lawson, Gust and Pat Brown rounded out the top five.

#7 Joe Byrd	#16 Jeremy Lawson

The ITP/Moose AMA Pro ATV National Championship presented by Parts Unlimited continues in two weeks, April 28-29, with the TriangleCycles.com ATV National at Birch Creek in Danville, VA.
