2009 AMA ATV Motocross Nationals #10 - Red Bud - Live ATV Race Coverage

[Admin]

Buchanan, MI - Rockstar/Makita Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer appeared to have finally fully recovered from his midseason injury as he catapulted back into the points lead with just two rounds of the 2009 ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship left to go. In dramatic fashion, Wimmer stole first overall in the final lap at Pleasure Valley while previous AMA Pro ATVMX Championship Points leader Chad Wienen had a miserable day and ended up handing the points lead back to Wimmer.

Pleasure Valley saw some of the closest racing yet to be seen, and with Wimmer taking the lead almost 30 points ahead, and Weinen's loss at Pleasure Valley, second place has boiled down to three separate riders.Wienen, Honda's Joe Byrd and Doug Gust are embroiled in a fight to take a place behind or against Wimmer. Wienen and Byrd are separated by only two points and Gust 12 points behind Byrd. With Wimmer's injury and fast recovery, and Wienen's virtual worst to best run in the points standings, this championship could still be left to anyone.

A state with an affinity for off-road recreational vehicle use, RedBud owns the bragging rights to the highest attended U.S. motocross race year after year. Just the right soil mix, lots of passing and the biggest jump on the circuit (LaRocco's Leap), the track provides for some exciting motocross racing. It's definitely a top motocross destination in a region that loves its motorsports.

Creamer should be the one challenging wimmer for the championship. He has been riding hard. Gust is just supernatural!! LOL

[ltr311]

Ps. What happened to hetrick? Bad start?

[tig7ers]

If you have a problem with Byrd . Take it up with him . Everyone needs to stop making these childish comments. If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all.

[Raptorchick]

pro moto two holeshot goes to goodman gets the holeshot with wimmer in second

[motomxman450]

What happened to Gibson and Hetrick... This might be a stupid question has anyone tried laraccos leap?

[Raptorchick]

creamer in third

[Raptorchick]

denoble was in third off the line but is back to 4th now

[Raptorchick]

byrd and gust get around denoble

[Raptorchick]

wimmer takes the lead

[Raptorchick]

here we go....byrd is pressuring creamer for third

[Raptorchick]

creamer gets around goodman for second, byrd is now pressuring goodman

[Raptorchick]

byrd is around goodman and chasing down creamer again

[ltr311]

Man Wimmer is just unstoppable. Yoshimura really has those machines pulling hard.

[Raptorchick]

natalie is pressuring gust

[hsr]

could get interesting b/w byrd and creamer...

[Raptorchick]

gust is catching up to goodman, but natalie is still right on him

[Raptorchick]

byrd and creamer in a battle for second

[motomxman450]

Is anyone doing the leap?

[Raptorchick]

Originally posted by motomxman450

not sure, the announcers haven't said anything about it

[Raptorchick]

byrd is still presuring creamer but can't get around him

[motomxman450]

Gust did it one year right?? He cut the track to get a longer run at it I think... The power the 450s put out now I wonder if it's possible

[Raptorchick]

natalie gets around gust

[syckNtwisted121]

This is shaping up to be another moto long war with Creamer, Byrd and Wimmer...

natalie is right on goodman and wienen is pressuring gust

IDK man i was watching the bikes hit it just the other week and dungey kept casing it so i think its pretty unlikely that these guys can get over it

[Raptorchick]

natalie, gust and wienen just by goodman

[syckNtwisted121]

I dont know about recently, but I am almost positive Todd Vescovi was about the only pro ATV rider to jump the leap back in the 250R days. I think the track has changed a bit, shortening the run to the leap.

[Raptorchick]

byrd gets around creamer

[motomxman450]

Gibson claimed he would do it last year but never happened.. And bikes are pretty much topped so idk ..... I hope there is another battle in this race with them guys let's just hope it's clean..

[bugmenot2]

Gust and Byrd both tried to do it, both broke axles. That was in the 250R days.

[motomxman450]

let's go creamer get dirty birdy

[Raptorchick]

wienen is closing in on gust

[Raptorchick]

byrd is closing in on wimmer

[hsr]

poor pat brown can't catch a break, hasn't been a good year for him.

[ltr311]

How far out is Wimmer? Where is Cody miller? I really wanted him to get top 5 this year. Itll happen next year. He is getting fast!

[Raptorchick]

byrd is right on wimmer and creamer is right on byrd

[hsr]

Originally posted by raptorchick

sounds pretty familiar...

[hutchmx92]

wimmer has like a .340 second lead i think and creamer is right there like a second off of byrd

[Raptorchick]

one lap to go and wimmer byrd and creamer are really going at it again

[ltr311]

Come on Creamer shut them both down. LOL

[motomxman450]

Yea poor yamaha guys ... I heard somewhere that they just can't get enough power out of them

[dan29yfz]

ive raced redbud alot of times and i just cant see a quad jumping the leap, its so big!

[Raptorchick]

wimmer takes the win and has most likely wrapped up the championship

[ltr311]

Pat b is stuck with yami and the bikes arent performing that well as well they took on more weight.

[motomxman450]

What was the final order did wimmer take the win?

[Raptorchick]

wimmer
byrd
creamer
natalie
weinen
gust
lawson
pelchat
t brown
upperman
warnia
little
cochran
goodman
miller
gee
denoble
p brown
smith

[hsr]

wienen may podium?

[Raptorchick]

podium is:

wimmer
creamer
wienen

[syckNtwisted121]

As of this weekend Pat is also WITHOUT Paul Turner .... who apparently left the team

[hutchmx92]

ya but i mean look at thomas brown hes been in top 10's all year and isnt the only difference from pats bike to his is the shocks right? pat has done anything really in the last couple seasons and its a shame to man he can ride when he is in the zone just like loughburg could have

[motomxman450]

Well now that the race is over get to tv and watch xgames 15

[motomxman450]

Correct me of I'm wrong but pat has a full gytr motor right? I think Thomas is running a rage motor I'm not sure , it's weird to see teamates running different products, I guess it's personel preference . What happened to Paul Turner?

[hsr]

has wimmer clinched the championship or will it go down to the last round?

[motomxman450]

I think it still mAy possibly be up for grabbs

[motomxman450]

so does anyone have info on why gibson didnt run the second moto?

[quad2xtreme]

Originally posted by motomxman450

There is some jump that Gust is the only one to make...this is probably the one. I remember reading about it in a magazine in the last 6 months or so.

He switched to 99, thats why... :D

x Games 15 Rally car final Pastrana gets stuck and Brack takes the win

[motomxman450]

Hello does any one know what happened to Gibson?

[Balaz_73*00]

I was there, gibson started moto 2 and pulled off after about 1/4 of lap one. tons of smoke coming out the bike..looked like it blew

[frito]

actually Im not positive, But one year when i did all the mx,s,This is chris fristoe,me and byrd looked at it,Byrd held the rope up and greg stuart(skat trak) did make it and was the only one ever to and that was cutting the track.Joe tried and cased the very top of it,but this was like 94 or 95 when stuart was exper. with fox shocks and had all the stuff knowone had.Now the track has changed alot over that area and there is knowway i dont think a quad could stay on the track and still clear it... just my 2 cents

[400excracer]

Originally posted by dan29yfz

[randyIL]

Gibson started 2nd moto parade lap, turned off track, went back to gate.

Heard he blew head gasket.

He also got punted at the start and almost lost it.

Miller did 2nd moto parade lap, then came off at mechanics area.
Heard his frame was broken so he just limped it around second moto. Too bad because he had good 1st moto.

No-one even though about it attemping the leap.

I hate Gust...he makes all other 40+ guys look like crap.
( just kidding - he is the man ) !!!

[motofreak2772]

why doesnt redbud adjust the track when quads come? maybe peak up the lip or lower the landing and move the corner back so we can get more speed, yeah it takes away from the jump itself but atleast people will be hitting it and that would make it way more exciting.

[randyIL]

They do have that awesome Pro ( Pro-am ) jump, however it's somewhat hidden from the spectator section by the trees.

I do agree with you motofreak, the leap is not that exciting in it's present form.

Ill have to ask Doug about that one. I don't recall him every telling that one to me.

Cindi

[motomxman450]

what was the pro section jump?

[randyIL]

This photo shows the front of the Pro section jump ( there is someone in mid air, however he is high enough that the tree is covering him ).

The previous photo shows the other end, kindof.

[Balaz_73*00]

Awesome pic randyIL! It was insane when i saw it in person, and that pic makes it look even crazier....he's way sideways. I don't know how he saved it. He is the man

[quad2xtreme]

Cindi

Cindi,

Can you confirm there is a jump that only he has done and if this is the one? The article was actually featuring a Yamaha rider who is known for crazy jumps on his practice track and he mentioned that Doug hit some jump that even he wouldn't attempt. It was definitely a jump on one of the big race series tracks.

thanks,

Jon

[randyIL]

thanks...yeah that jump is huge.

We saw a few guys overshoot it, but otherwise they all got it down pat.

Heck....Cody G. did a heel clicker during practice.

Of course camera wasn't ready then.

hey rando when u get time burn the pics to a cd and pass them to me like you did last year so i can see all the ones u got as we didnt have time to check them out in the trailor.

[randyIL]

OK.....I don't think I got you guys the Walnut pics yet either.

I'll burn them too.

I'm going to look over the video I got this weekend sometime this week and hope to have something ready next week.

I know I got good video of Shank's ( and company ) crash; Production A or 4 stroke A....forgot which class that was.

[motomxman450]

was this jump anything like 'The Wall" at birch creek?

I have been to birch creek so I do not know what the "Wall" looks like.

I do know this jump is huge and I would not like to come up short or long.

There is a dip after the landing that makes the ground that much further away.

There were a few guys that overshot it early in practice...but they all eventually got it down pat.

Last year Sage Baker went way long on his first attempt.
He survived....but his quad did not.

Denoble over shot it on his first attempt and hit hard. It appeared his quad survived...but I'm sure his bell was rung alittle ( it probably didn't feel too good on the hands either ).


I like this pic.....it looks like Creamer is going to have a rough landing ( he nailed it just fine ).

[randyIL]

Sorry...meant to say I have never been to birch creek

[maticus]

that sucks about byrd first moto i would have loved to see it come down to the final round with 3 different possible champs. so i guess weinen has to go 1-1 and wimmer has to pretty much not show up to lose right?

and does anyone know who is moving up to pro next year?

[quad2xtreme]

I race at Birch Creek and have never heard of any jump called the wall. I've never raced the pro-am/pro section though although I've ridden it on practice days. I can't imagine anything being called "the wall" there. The biggest jump is the finish line triple (which ironically you don't cross to finish the race). It sort of has a dip before the lander but you definitely aren't going to overshoot it.

[motomxman450]

At the national this year they were talking about "the wall" it's in the back and is the the last jump in the pro section the big like step up with a weird table top landing

Yes....it was just one of those racing things that happen at the start of the race ( pic just before Denoble locked up with bird ).

Although, Byrd had no probems in the 2nd moto and still could not catch Wimmer.

Wimmer is so smooth and never has mechanical issues.

Only 6 points for the win. Either he gets 6 points or Weinen is 6 points out of first in any of the last 2 motos.

Essentially, Wimmer just needs to start and he will win.

Gibson Pro 2010.

[motomxman450]

Did bird hit denoble too? Hahahah

[randyIL]

I don't know it all happened so fast !!!

[hasbeenttduner]

Will there be a atvriders video from this round?

I'm sure they will have something.

There were plenty press people that blocked my view of the start.

Hi Jon

I asked Doug and he did confirm that there was a jump at Red Bud that nobody did but him. Remember the double double canyon jump they used to have? Well just before that there was a triple and one year they extended that track further up the hill so they had more of a run and Doug tripled it. Spader tried the jump also but didn't make it and tore his akilies tendon. Doug said nobody else did the jump.

Yep, it was Spader. I didn't remember the part of him getting hurt trying it but I have so much stuff jammed into my head from work that stuff has to fall out just to make more room. :D I would have searched through my magazines but my wife made me get rid of them...or put them in the garage and I don't have enough space as it is.

Would love to see Doug come down/over to teach a class at Breezewood Proving Grounds next year.

I think we could set something up for Breezewood. Send me an email this winter and we will see if we can put something together. cindihart@aol.com

I was asking Doug last night about the jump and he was kinda surprised that anyone remembered that. Good memory.:D

Yep... :D
If any of you guys want to know about the tyres i will be glad to help.

If so, probably so his mechanic would have to work on his quad. ;) I say this and could be wrong but I think Denoble's mechanic used to be Joe Byrd's mechanic. :eek:

Joe just threw his hands up in the air....indicating not again.....and I really would like to punch this guy but I'm on probation.

He did make Denoble do all the work to seperate them.

I don't think he'll do as good as some think......but you never know.

I asked Doug and he did confirm that there was a jump at Red Bud that nobody did but him. Remember the double double canyon jump they used to have? Well just before that there was a triple and one year they extended that track further up the hill so they had more of a run and Doug tripled it. Spader tried the jump also but didn't make it and tore his akilies tendon. Doug said nobody else did the jump.

It was 92 or 93. There was also a double double or triple single after the finish line tabletop. Doug and I believe the late Randy Howard were the only ones quadding it....Doug had stock 250R shocks on the front and most of his competition was using aftermarket suspension. Not many people remember those days. haha

I was a late bloomer to the sport but I enjoy reading any articles when they are talking about the early days. It is funny to ride the tracks when you are in your 40s. I could be the father of the kids I ride with on the track...then I go to the parking lot and hang out with the parents. :( Somehow, Doug found the fountain of youth. All those old timers were looking in Florida. Apparently it is somewhere in Wisconsin. :D

Yes....when it's in your backyard, you can name it anything you want. You will now go down in the history books as the only quad rider to jump Lorocco's leap at......what name did you give your track???

It was a joke :P Some of these guys on here are like "Why hasn't any quad rider hit this jump before" Even for bikes it's a f***ing haul.

Yup...I know !!!

And if I was any good at photoshop or whatever it's called, I'd make that pic look like someone just made the leap.
