Culver, IN (10/15/2012) –The 2012 Blingstar AMA MAXC ATV Racing Series headed to Northern Indiana for Round 9. Hosted by the Blackhawk Cycle Club, MAXC Round 9 was held in Culver, IN located only 20 miles south of the Michigan / Indiana border.
Cloudy overcast skies and 60-degree weather welcomed racers Saturday morning. The weatherman called for 60% chance of rain throughout the day. The rain held off until the end of the Adult Bike race and did not stop until after the checkered flag waved for the Adult ATV race making an interesting race for both racers and spectators.
MAXC Round 9 featured a new venue to the 2012 racing series. Although the Black Hawk Cycle club has been around for many years, it would be the first time MAXC would hold a race on the Black Hawk Cycle Club property.
The Blackhawk MAXC Round 9 course, although quite flat in elevation, did not detour the excitement. The track consisted of an 8 mile course that consisted of sandy woods, open fields, tight trails, and several natural jumps in the woods.
GNCC XC1 Pro Class ATV Racer Adam McGill would be in attendance at the Blackhawk MAXC. Coming off his first win of the GNCC Racing Season, Lonestar Racing’s Adam McGill would take his third consecutive win of the MAXC Racing Season at Blackhawk MAXC Round 9.

“The start went really well. My Moto-Xperts motor pulled very well and my ITP tires hooked up great. My 24volt from Dirtworks just fires. I think I got beat the first turn. I ended up getting back up front the second turn. Cunningham got around me before we got into the woods. I followed him and he was riding good and I tried making a line around him and I ended up going through some brush and it pulled me into a tree. After that I was in fifth and I had to work my way back up. Once I got back up front Cunningham and Lane were right behind me and riding good. We came into the pits and then they were gone. ” said ITP’s Adam McGill.
