2007 ATVA MX Nationals #11 - Unadilla, New Berlin NY Race Coverage

For some teams, cleaning up can also be a form of punishment as I spotted this rider getting his treatment of water torture:eek: :p I reckon he will push a bit harder next moto:devil:

The wet track conditions were improving as the saturday morning practices we're ran. The Pro's were do out soon and I know they were keeping an eye on the sky and how well the track was running in. The workers had this place in in great shape considering the vast amount of rain that fell overnight.

The Womans Pro/Am class first moto was on deck and when the gate dropped it was a wheel to wheel drag race to the first turn and beyond as Heather Byrd and Angela Butler sought to battle the points chase for yet another round.

Heather Byrd won the fight to be the leader as the pair rounded the second turn and headed for gravity cavity

Butler wasnt making it easy for Byrd as she pushed the leader in every corner and over every jump

Lap after lap the battle raged

Byrd and Butler battle at every event, and for anyone saying that these two racers are boring based on there just being two riders at their level, I would have to ask what race you are watching because the pair can put on a show that rivals any race on the planet.

Byrd held off a hard charging Butler for the moto win, and during a complete downpour during the second moto followed it up and swept the event for the overall. The championship heads to Lorettas with the winner claiming the championship.

I asked Heather what she thought about heading to the final round with the championship being an all out tie. She simply stated she would have liked to have settled it at this round, but she looks forward to a battle and intends on being the victor in what surely will be a knock down drag out race to the podium!

Angela Adkins rode to a win in the Womens class aboard her Honda 450r

Beth Monroe followed Adkins both motos to take 2nd for the event
