Modena, NY (4/30/13) - After seeing a Can-Am domination at Walden MX only two weeks prior, the New England ATV MX series headed North to Modena, NY to the AK Farms MX compound for round two of the series. Can-Am / WR’s Travis Moore made a clean sweep on the weekend, once again dominating both the Pro and the Pro-Am races going 1-1 in both classes. Preston Young also made his 2013 podium debut with two podium finishes on the weekend in the third spot.
The weekend was as beautiful as you could get with temps in the mid-to-high 60‘s and blue skies for the racing action which kicked off on Saturday with the pit bikes races and youth first motos. Heading into Sunday, the Pros and Amateur racers were preparing their ATV’s to be in top form as the action was sure to be intense as the racers would have to tackle the rough and tumble AK Farms MX track with its 2 sets of giant whoops and tight switch-back corners.
The Pros were the first to the line and the racers were chomping at the bit to see what lay ahead for them on this tough track!
