Valcourt, Canada (9/30/2008)
- This past weekend was a remarkably successful
weekend of racing for all Can-Am X-Team racers.
At the Unadilla GNCC, BRP Can-Am swept the overall
wins for both the morning and afternoon sessions,
in the process giving the DS 450 EFI ATV its first
XC1 Pro-class win. And out west, the DS 450 also
was crowned the overall champion in the WORCS racing
series. In the northeast, the Can-Am Outlander 800R
EFI ATV was awarded the Rock Maple Racing Quad Terrain
Open West championship and to the south, the DS
450 X model took home the Virginia A-Class state
championship.
"This has easily been the most successful
weekend of racing our Can-Am X-Team has ever had,"
said Del Bohlman, Product, Media Relations and
Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. "To
date we have at least six championships on Can-Am
ATVs and aiming for? more. The wins at the Unadilla
GNCC and at the Honey Lake WORCS race were a special
part of this weekend of success on the track."
Team Warnert Racing / Can-Am racer Chris Bithell
pulled off a hard-fought victory on his DS 450
in the XC1 Pro class. Starting from dead last after
the start, Bithell rode a strong race and worked
himself into the lead after three laps. For the
next two laps he remained at the front despite hard
challenges from the fastest woods racers in the
world. Bithell's win gives the Can-Am DS 450
its first GNCC win and overall. That win, combined
with X-team racer Bryan Buckhannon's overall aboard
his Outlander 800R ATV in the morning race session,
marked a clean sweep of the Unadilla GNCC overalls.

Team Motoworks / Can-Am rider Josh Frederick
won his second WORCS Pro-class championship by
winning the Honey Lake WORCS race. Frederick piloted
his DS 450 to the holeshot and never looked back.
His teammate, Brandon Smith finished behind him
and in the Pro-Am class, teammate Dillion Zimmerman
took the win. It was a great weekend of racing
for the Motoworks team.
Amateur racer Cole Henry has been tearing up
the track at both the local and national level
all season aboard his DS 450 X. This weekend he
took the Virginia A-class State Championship at
Birchcreek Raceway near Danville, VA. Henry recently
moved to the A class and has been undefeated ever
since. And finally, in the Rock Maple Racing series,
Jamie Bougher was recently crowned the RMR Quad
Terrain Open West champion for his wins on the
Outlander 800R ATV. What an amazing weekend of
racing for the Can-Am racers.
