MAXC Round 9 - Rally in the Valley ATV Racing Links

Gosport, IN (10/21/2013) - The National AMA MAXC Racing Series headed to Gosport Indiana for the second annual Rally in the Valley this past weekend. Taylor Kiser would earn second overall, but it would be enough for him the clinch his first AMA National number one plate! Walker Fowler would earn the win with Cole Richardson rounding out the Pro ATV Podium.

Round nine looked like it would be a muddy one, as rain began to fall late in the evening Friday night. As racers and spectators began to roll into the track Saturday morning the rain still had not stopped and many rigs had to get pulled into the track. Dark clouds and a constant rainfall plagued the first few classes that were released off the line including the Youth ATV Class.

With heavy rainfall the night before, it left the Rally in the Valley MAXC track a muddy mess early in the the morning, but Mother Nature would take a turn for the better in the afternoon for the Adult ATV Race

As luck would have it, the rain began to move out of the area around noon and brought with it sunshine. By the time the adult ATV class rolled to the line, the track was in near perfect condition!

The Rally in the Valley is arguably one of the best tracks for both racers and spectators. The whole MAXC crew did a great job of keeping the track interesting with many spectator areas including a large creek jump, whoops section, and a pro hill climb, all of which were within walking distance of Pro and Vendor Row. Many companies set up at the Rally in the Valley MAXC including Maxxis, National Guard, Spider Graphix, T&T Motorsports and many more.
