2004 ITP QuadCross Round #4

[quadchick01]

Round four of the ITP QuadCross was back at Glen Helen and not on the National track that everyone had gotten accostumed to. We were going to be racing on the REM track. Alot of the racers were used to the well groomed LACR track with a more motocross style layout (plain and simple more jumps and technical stuff).

The first moto of the pros was split into two seperate races for gate positioning for the main. Number 56 Jeff Spooner grabbed the holeshot in gate A. Followed by number 61 Mike Machado and number 3 Michael Cafro.

By the time the leaders of the pack got out of the back section and were back in sight Macahdo had taken the lead.

Number 24 Cody Roberts one of the local pros was giving a good effort and hanging in there after being out for several months with a broken leg and then out again with another broken leg. Yes! He did it twice and both times didn't notice it for a couple weeks afterwards. What a trooper!!!!!!!!

Local pro, Darrel Patton, took the holeshot of the B group of the pros. Showing off how much he has learned by riding with Kory Ellis for the past couple months. Another local pro, number 1 Jeremy Schell, was right behind Patton in the holshot.

Schell wasn't about to let Patton walk away with a win. Schell stayed right on him putting the presure on Patton.
