2005 ITP Quadcross Round #2

[WestCoast Editor]

This years ITP Quadcross opener was held at RaceTown 395 in Adelanto Ca. Tecnically this was suppose to be round 2 but round one at Glen Helen was rained out. This was a new track for the Quadcross.

[WestCoast Editor]

After a small delay and some confusion the races got started and the pros were up first. The Pros were split into two groups for qualifying. Jeremy Schell, last years winner, got the holeshot in the first round..

[WestCoast Editor]

Dustin Nelson was right on Schells bumper the entire race.

[WestCoast Editor]

Here Nelson tried to pass Schell over one of the table tops and came down a little off the track which cost him a little bit of ground.

[WestCoast Editor]

#29 Robinson and #35 Patton were battling for position. Meanwhile Nelson and Schell were setting there own pace.

[WestCoast Editor]

Here on the last lap Nelson try to power through the corner for a run a Schell through the next section and ended up spinning out and rolling over. Him and Schell were so far ahead he had time to get going again and still take second in the qualifier.

[WestCoast Editor]

As Nelson leaves the corner the rest of the riders come through. In third #66 Munio,4th 45 Guzman, 5th 75 Hayes, 6th 35 Patton, 7th 29 Robinson and that qualifier 1.

[WestCoast Editor]

in qualifier 2 this guy got the holeshot and never looked back. In case you don't recognize #52 it's Dana Creech.

[WestCoast Editor]

Robert McLure was un pursuit of creech but just couldn't catch him.

[WestCoast Editor]

#54 August Goebel also showed to try his luck at the quadcross.

[WestCoast Editor]

Ricky Nickell took 2nd in his qualifier

[WestCoast Editor]

Here Mike Machado #61 looks to see whos taking his picture. He took the fifth spot.

[WestCoast Editor]

My mistake. Here Dana takes a look over his shoulder to see whos behind him. This was a huge step up. It was 80 feet to the first step then 40 plus across the top to the downside. Only a couple of the top guys, most of the pros had no problem getting to the downside.

[WestCoast Editor]

Here one of the local pros, Cody Roberts was trying to hang on to a sixth spot finish.

[WestCoast Editor]

Your top qualifiers for the main were obviously Dana Creech, Jeremy Schell, Dustin Nelson, Ricky Nickell, Robert McLure and Tony Munio. All 16 riders would be on the same gate this time. And here they go.... This was a lot of riders for this tight one line track. And it was not a clean start...

[WestCoast Editor]

The first corner was very tight. here you can see some of the riders getting together.

[WestCoast Editor]

#94 Nelson was right in the middle of the mishap along with several other riders.

[WestCoast Editor]

Here Creech comes through in the top spot.

[WestCoast Editor]

Schell got through the first corner without any problems and was trying to catch Dana. Right behind him you see the front end of McLure #29.

[WestCoast Editor]

Heres Danny Regan #5. He crashed in his Qualifier but here he is running in the fourth spot...

[WestCoast Editor]

And look here, even after the tangle on the start this guy flies....He's moved up from almost dead last to eight spot.. in one lap! Right in front of him in the 7th spot is Darrell Patton #35.

[WestCoast Editor]

#61 Machado and Robinson get a taste of Nelsons roost....

[WestCoast Editor]

Here #66 Munio is trying to get back in the race after the problem on the start

[WestCoast Editor]

This guy just could't get a break all weekend... Here in the very next corner as he was trying to pass he gets tangled with Guzman.

[WestCoast Editor]

He almost looses it but gets control and starts the process all over...

[WestCoast Editor]

And Back up front Dana was flying...

[WestCoast Editor]

Schell was chasing Dana back in the second spot.

[WestCoast Editor]

Running in the third spot and looking good was #29 Robert McLure.

[WestCoast Editor]

Making his debut in the pro class was Larry Hayes #75. He was doing very well running in the 5th spot right behind Ragan

[WestCoast Editor]

Darrel was running in the sixth spot. He didn't seem to be having to good of a day.

[WestCoast Editor]

And here comes #94 Nelson again, working his way back up to at this point the 7th spot.

[WestCoast Editor]

And here he is making the move on Darrell for the sixth Spot.

[WestCoast Editor]

Dana was still out front and not getting much of a challenge from anyone else.

[WestCoast Editor]

Mike Machado was having a good day running up in the third spot.

[Davids440ex]

is there results posted any where yet

[WestCoast Editor]

Nelson was now in the fourth spot after passing Hayes #75

[WestCoast Editor]

When it was all over It was Dana Creech with the chekers

[WestCoast Editor]

Schell took second.

[WestCoast Editor]

Robert McLure finished in the third spot.

[WestCoast Editor]

Machado took fourth.

[WestCoast Editor]

And Nelson worked his way all the way up fifth before he just ran out of time.

[WestCoast Editor]

In the end......

Dana Creech took the overall win
Jeremy Schell second
Robert McLure third....

See ya at the next Race...

2nd is not bad at all for someone still recovering from a broken ankle.

[socallen85]

[MnM440ExGirl]

Word has it that I crashed on that second jump after the finsh, I don't remember, but then I got knocked out and hauled off in an ambulance. I am wondering if anyone might have any pics or video? I am trying to recreate what happened in my mind....not working well so far!! I WAS riding the yellow m-n-m bike (womens race #8)! Any help out there?
Thanks!!

[400grl]

Hey!! Check out the pics on mxgirls.com - Nina posted one of you just before you crashed......from the pic, it looked like you hit that little double after the finish line, and the back end of your quad kicked up (there was a little kicker on that jump - I had to really pull up hard on the front over that) and looks like you endo'd.......I didn't see it, but I'm sure there were a few girls who did!!

I am glad you are OK....I know you were down for at least 3 laps.....

[MnM440ExGirl]

Corry...
Where do I look on Mxgirls.com? I looked around but didn't see any pics of the quad races? Thanks
Cari

[400grl]

There should be a topic called "Local Races" - I had to look for it, too....but it's there. I think it's down the page a little......I'd just link it for you, but I have firewalls here at work so I can't access that page.......

[MnM440ExGirl]

I couldn't find the topic. Could just be me right now...I can't sit for that long....
Thanks for your help!!
