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

The racing action rolled on rain and shine, with all classes sporting great competition.

#111 Adam Blackburn ripped off a 1-1 for the 450C class win!

Night finally came after a day that saw conditions change so much with heavy rain, blistering sun and just about every type of track terrain one would ever encounter. There is no rest for the weary as Pro Chris Bithell's day did not end as night fell. Chris said he had a blast running MX and was excited for the racing to get underway on sunday. Chris had to jump through some hoops to get approved to run the Pro class but it all worked out and he would be on the gate Sunday ready for action.

The expierence he gained at this event could well help him later this year when the GNCC circuit makes a stop at this facility, where Chris is battling for a championship. I don't know if he can do the skyshot with a full blown XC quad, but it wouldnt surprise me to see him hit it:devil:

Sunday morning dawned and the much awaited Pro MX racing debut of Chris Bithell would soon be history. He looked great during practice and I was anxious to see how hard he could push it for 20 minutes of intense mx action.
