Bloomfield, IN (5/13/2013) – AMA National MAXC Racing action fired back up at round 2 this past weekend at River Run in Bloomfield, IN. A new venue to the MAXC Racing Series, the River Run MAXC took place less than 45 minutes Southwest of Bloomington, IN. Racers were in for one of the most challenging courses to date, as the diverse terrain and weather at River Run MAXC would put racers to the test.

AMA MAXC Racing Series Custom Semi will now act as the center of vendor Row |
As racers pulled into the River Run MAXC, first thing that caught their eye was the new AMA MAXC Racing Series Semi. Wrapped in custom graphics, the AMA MAXC Racing Series semi served as the center of row and it featured the announcer’s stand and live scoring.
Like clockwork, Indiana weather can change within the hour and that was just the case with AMA MAXC Round 2. The weatherman called for clear skies and temperatures in the high 60’s for Saturday’s race. As luck would have it, racers were greeted with overcast skies with a cold wind that blew through the pits.

Torrential rainfall flooded the track on the final lap making the rough track even rougher at River Run MAXC |
Although the clouds began to dissipate as the day progressed, the weather would take a turn for the worse as the ATV class anxiously waited for the green flag the drop. As if Mother Nature herself was watching the race, torrential rainfall began to flood the already rough track as the white flag waved signaling the final lap. It would be Ballance Racing’s #3 Taylor Kiser who would cross the finish first followed closely by Lonestar’s Adam McGill just one second behind Kiser. MAXC Pro ATV Rookie Brycen Neal would round out the Pro AA ATV Class Podium in third.

FMF's Kevin Cunningham grabbed the AMA MAXC Pro ATV Holeshot at River Run

When the green flag dropped for the start of AMA MAXC Round 2, it was PKG Powersports’ Kevin Cunningham who grabbed the Holeshot on his HMF powered Honda 450R ATV. Although Cunningham took the early lead, he would soon fall victim to the rough track and got stuck in the deep ruts and thick mud allowing the rest of the Pro ATV field to get by. Cunningham would then have to work his way back up from the rear of the pack and was able to make it up to finish a respectful sixth place in the Pro ATV class.

“We got off to a great start. I was leading and then I got hung up for about 5 minutes or so. I had to get out of that and by that time I was riding with the B class. I came through the second lap and I caught up to McGill and Kiser, but then we got into a bottleneck. I had to wait my turn to get through and they found another line around and I just got held up the whole day basically” explained MZM Performance’s Kevin Cunningham
