Martinsville, IN (7/23/2012)
– The 2012 Blingstar AMA MAXC ATV Racing
Series made its fifth stop of the ten round
series in Martinsville, IN for the Copperhead
Row ATV Race. Young and upcoming Open A Class
racer Brycen Neal charged hard to win the ATV
overall despite starting in the second row behind
the AA class. Ryan Lane would take his third
consecutive win of the season in the AA Class
and was joined on the podium with Jay Humphrey
and Mike Phlum.
After almost a month of 90 degree temperatures,
state wide burn bans, and a water drought,
Mother Nature finally blessed Indiana with
almost perfect weather for the fifth round
of the MAXC racing series. A low morning fog
and condensation kept dust to a minimum for
the morning classes, however with rising temperatures
the track began to dry out for the final race
of the day; which was the Adult ATV class.
The virgin 7.5 mile course consisted of several
open field sections, dry creek bed crossings,
fire roads, and many hill climbs.
