2006 ATVA MX Nationals Round #5 – Budds Creek - Amateur Coverage

The 70cc Shifter Modified class has had 4 different victors leading up to round #5. With the tough competition, it was unpredictable who would take the overall for this weekend. In the qualifier it was evident that Brandon Tittle carried his steam from his win in Macon, GA with his win in the qualifier. Getting to the front was not an easy task however. Off the start he had the fast Cam Covil, David Beer and the #7 of Robbie Leonoard to work around.

As they entered the whoops, along pro row, Robbie Leonard was leading the way with the #209 of Bret Musick hot on his heels.

Thanks for the great shots!!! What about those FL boys? Not doing to bad. :D

I Wish Alex Kirchner wouldn't have got hurt. She was ready to give those Girls a run for their money. Next Year!!!!

Hey-- but I have got to give everyone props....... To go out and ride a National race is an experience that you just can't describe. The rush of that first turn............

Brandon Tittle came into striking range as he took the left lane through the whoops hoping to put together a better jump combo and send him out front. Making the pass on Musick, Tittle set his sights on Leonard.

Just behind the top 3 sits Cam Covil followed closely by the #44 of Tyler Pittman

Next time through the whoops, Tittle edged himself close enough to Leonard to be able to snag the top position before the checkered flag.

As the gate dropped, the field was one rider short. Unfortunately, Brandon Tittle was unable to come back and try for an overall win following his qualifier win. Instead he had to settle for a 12th overall as he marked up a DNS. Capitalizing on Tittle’s misfortune, Tyler Pittman put his cobra into the 3rd place spot. Pittman went 5-3 for an overall 4th place finish.

David Nevrotski of Philiadelphia, PA held of the charging Jesse Putman. Nevrotski went 8-7 for a 7th overall finish.

Finishing out the weekend in the 2nd overall spot was the #209 of Brett Musick.

Pushing his quad, Cam Covil owned Budds Creek as he took home the moto 2 win along with the overall for the 70 shifter Modified class.
