John Natalie Jr took home the #1 Plate for winning the MX Championship, which was one of many Championships Natalie Jr added to his collection in 2005.
*Side Note*
Natalie Jr announced that him and Michelle Reiser have plans to get married in 2006.
EDT - Pro Class
Unlike the MX Pro Championship, when Natalie Jr wrapped it up at London, KY with two rounds remaining, the Extreme Dirt Track Championship came down to the final race of the season once again, but this year Tim Farr was able to preserve his points lead and bring home the #1 Plate to give Honda the Pro Sweep in the ATVA MX & EDT Nationals.
Both Keith Little and Darin Ogden came within a few points of the Championship this year, and next years racing action will surely be another nail biter if this trio along Shane Hitt and Harold Goodman get back on track.

With the Awards Ceremony over, it was time for a pizza party
The DJ cranked up the music and everyone hit the dance flor for hours of dancing well past midnight.
To keep things interesting, Sherri Taylor arranged contest throughout the night with $50 up for grab for the winner.
One of the contests was who could keep the Hula-Hoop going the longest, and many latest several minutes. The final two swaying their hips were Shane Taylor and Audrey Straney. Shane never had a chance with his exaggerated hip motion while Audrey was just barely moving to keep the Hula-Hoop twirling.
Finally after atleast 5-10 minutes, Shane lost his rhythm which gave Audrey the $50 Prize.
Next up was the Limbo, which had a line up people jumping in on this game with another $50 up for grabs.
Even JB Racing, Jody Bateman, tested how low he could go, but it wasn't low enough!!!
Jen Murphy was able to maneuver her way under the bar without losing her balance to claim the $50 Prize.
By 2AM in the morning, the upbeat music was replaced with some slow dancing music to conclude an evening of fun and celebration for many, but some decided to keep things going in small groups till the next morning.
The newly weds, Scott & Angela Butler slow dancing the night away, which concludes the 2005 ATVA Awards Banquet Coverage, and I look forward to seeing everyone at Glen Helen in just about three months, which will be here before we know it.
