2010 AMA ATV Motocross Nationals #8 - Pleasure Valley - Live ATV Race Coverage

[Admin]

Armagh, PA - With only four rounds remaining in the chase for the championship, the battle between teammates Dustin Wimmer and Josh Creamer promises to be one for the record books. Creamer has had a fantastic season this year, winning five of the seven rounds so far, but he is aware his teammate is a strong competitor going into Pleasure Valley. The struggles Wimmer has faced this season have been different than any he has faced in the past, but during the last round, Wimmer seemed to have found his old form.

Team Can-Am Motoworks John Natalie has been consistently top five all season, but last weekend had a horrific crash when his motor lost power and Wimmer landed on top of him. Although he fought the pain to finish forth in the second moto, he is still complaining of soreness. The Can-Am's have made strides all season and continue threaten Team Suzuki each weekend.

It sure would be nice to see those can ams round out top two on the podium this round. They both definately have it in them. Those suzuki boys just have better machines it seems.

Ps. I wanna give a shoutout to our boy Ronnie Higgerson for taking the Unlimited win. Way to put KTM on the podium. ;)

Pro Report is posted!

[quadrcr161]

whats up with keith and harold? they have been in the back all year. its just seems unusual for both to just seem to ride at the back and not even getting a holeshot.

[jkiserracing]

Im glad to see Natalie 1st on the box. He has been right there all season but just couldn't seem to catch a break. Job well done today though. BTW.......wheres DeNoble. I know he had a crash at Muddy Creek but was wondering.....AND his race quad is for sale in the forums here????

On another note, I noticed that on the escore page that it shows Billy Cottage as DQ'd. Anyone know what happened there?

Heres the results link and you will see him on the bottom..DQ.

http://www.escoremx.com/results/atvamx/2010/class.asp?s=&c=96&e=8

[thebigdog]

he got upset with another rider who pushed him off the track twice. Really, really upset!!!!!!:mad: :mad:

[USAMoto00]

The AMA really needs to figure out how to handle their issues a little bit more professionally. Maybe to the point of being pro-active so these issues don't occur. They want the sport to grow and for the Pro's and Pro-Am's to be the feature events, so let's get it together and be fair with everyone instead of playing favorites. I believe a Pro rider had an issue last year at this same track and was caught on camera taking them out, and he didn't get DQ'd so what's the deal? I don't know Harv at all, but I would hope that he would think this situation thru a bit more. A probationary watch period for both parties may have been a better choice.

[jjames/jlawson]

One of the main people we forgot to mention was Tommy Tantillo ALT training facility. Thanks for everything he has helped Jeremy Lawson with. Above and beyond......Tommy T is the man......
