If winning the "Mechanic of the Year" Award wasn't enough, Rich Hetrick also went on to win the "Engine Builder of the Year" Award which pretty much left him speechless.
Congratulations Rich Hetrick, and obviously the many riders you have supported over the year have recognized your dedication.
"Most Influential ATV Manufacturer" went to none other than Suzuki for their extensive presence at the GNC Series in 2004. If 2004 wasn't enough of a great step forward, they plan on taking larger leap in 2005 by supporting several riders in the GNC Series including newly added Pro Rider, Jeremiah Jones. Also, they will be extending their program to also include several amateur riders in their program as well, which is extremely exciting news.
Thanks Again, Suzuki for all your support, and I only hope the other manufacturers step up and follow your lead.
Finally, "Pro Rider of the Year" went to Doug Gust for not only winning the National Championship, but also because of the way he represented his fellow ATV racers by being a true professional and setting an example of a True Champion. Doug Gust not only shined on the track, he also shined in the pits as he never was too busy to take the sign an autograph for a fan.
I must say that we are very fortunate that not only Doug Gust, but almost the entire Pro Class have all been great role models to the younger riders, and we should be thankful that our sport is blessed with such great family oriented people.
