2006 ATVA MX Nationals Round #9 – Steel City - Amateur Race Coverage

Quinn was there representing QUAD magazine. He rolled out a new lense this weekend to acheive some different perspective shots

Kyle Dammann had a busy weekend. Kyle raced two classes along with filming video for ATVRiders.com and helping out in the Cernics parts trailer.

Cernics has entered the ATV racing scene full steam this year. They are supporting Suzuki riders Jason Luburgh and Jason Dunkelberger along with Walsh support rider Jeremy Lawson. Cernics also supports many amateur riders on both dirt bikes and ATVs.

I seen Harlen in every corner that the riders were at. After ruling out teleporting, I think I discovered how he is able to snag all those great shots from different angles.

John Natalie and Michelle Reiser are always willing to help out fellow riders in any way they can. They both donated signed jerseys to be raffeled off. The proceeds were donated to the ATV medical unit which is there at each race to help out and help prevent danger. This young lucky gun went home with both jerseys.

Despite his dislocated wrist, John was in great spirits all weekend. John was walking around the pits wishing amateur riders good luck. Once the pain restricted his riding during the race, John would left faster riders by but not without a thumbs up of encouragement.

Riders were ready to hit this technical track with all they had and I was ready to capture all of it I could.

16-24 Age Class

Kyle Dammann put together a 13-10 to finish 11th overall in the 16-24 class. Kyle was unable to make it to practice on friday, which made his job twice as hard.

Tony Lucadelli made the decision to step up to the competition of the A Class and the 16-24 year old riders. After proving his ability at the Budds Creek national, Tony put together a good weekend against some of the fastest riders in the country, a 8th overall in the 16-24 year class and a 12th in the 4-stroke A class.

Taylor Condarcure continues his ATVA National tour, competing in all 8 previous events. With a 14th overall finish, Taylor sits 10th in points in the 16-24 class.

Michael Lehotay of Cambridge, OH had a great first moto, but a DNF in the second moto pulled his overall to 13th.

Nick Denoble sported Wisconsin based Janssen Racing's pink graphics. Denoble was constent with a 4-4 for a 4th overall.
