2008 ATVA American Suzuki Summer National - Pleasure Valley - Live race coverage

[Pappy]

Round #9 of ATV Motocross nationals headed to high ground as the series slammed into the Pennslyvania mountains. This round is being held at the Pleasure valley MX facility and offers quite a challenging course combined with some good old summer heat and humidity!

25 Pro racers spent the best part of saturday getting their machines dialed in for the track, and boy would they need it! Several sections were turning rough before the Pro riders took the track and by days end the whoops section was claiming victims.

Josh Creamer came really close to dismounting today in the whoops, and he wasn't alone as John Ragon just about ran me over when he went for a tumble

All the practice in the world cant stop every wreck

The racers were packed into the facilty pretty good, and parking was at a premium!

The Womens Pro AM race was pretty exciting. Michelle Natalie would win moto 1, however Heather Byrd rallied to take the second moto!

Angela Butler would make a return visit to the series as she has been competing in the WORCS series. Butler finished in the 3rd spot today!
