ITP Race Report!

Today was the last chance for ATV racers to compete on the National Track before the GNC National on February 7th-8th. Because most of the top racers have already headed out to California to prepare the GNC race, the first moto of the Pro Class had to be separated into two classes to qualify and determine starting position for the Main.

Unfortunately, the highly anticipated Factory Riders Tim Farr & Doug Gust weren't in attendance today for the race, which was a surprise to me.

Main Event
When the gate dropped #19 Jason Dunkelberger started off line like a rocket on his YFZ450

Heading into the First Sweeping turn, #19 Jason Dunkelberger grabbed the Holeshot with his Team Mate #99 Patrick Brown almost side by side. Lost Creek Cycle must really know what they are doing when it comes to modify these YFZ450.

#53 Kory Ellis quickly made his presence known by passing #99 for 2nd place.

#35 Darrell Patton was in 4th

They all headed up the Glen Helen notorious huge hill climb single file.

#19 Jason Dunkelberger was leading until #53 Kory Ellis agressively passed him on the inside of a turn.

Once Ellis got past Dunk, he picked up the pace.
