Moberly, MO (3/12/2008) - It may
have been cold, but that didn’t discourage
108 of the fastest ATV motocross riders in the area
from participating in the first round of the ATV
Amateur Championship. The first of thirteen qualifiers,
the race was held in Moberly at the HLR Motorsports
Park in Moberly, MO. By the looks of the weather
the week before the race, with the cold temperatures
and wet conditions, anyone would have guessed the
race would have been cancelled. However, with a
lot of hard work of track preparation put in by
Steve Halterman, the track owner, and a little luck,
the track was in prime condition for a day of races.
One worry of the riders was “the track conditions
during practice being so slick because the ground
was frozen” said Jason Robbins, Pro Am. However,
after practice, the temperature warmed up enough
to work the track into great shape. Despite concerns,
the track was not too wet, but just moist enough
for the competitors’ tires to hook up very
efficiently.
Seldom was there a boring moment
on Sunday, as great racing went on all day long.
David Frye took home the money in the Pro Am class,
coming back from a second place win in Moto one
and taking first in Moto two. Tragedy struck for
many of the Pro Am class contenders, including
Jason Robbins who took a nasty spill in the whoops
section. Jeff Robbins also has a bad wreck in
that second moto, and Ronnie Higgerson fell victim
to transmission troubles. However, Frye still
had to work very hard against the other eight
riders in the Pro Am class to take the win. The
top four riders in each class qualified for the
championship race, which will be held back at
HLR Motorsports Park in Moberly on August 2nd
and 3rd. Anyone that feels they have the skill
and dedication to qualify can try their hand in
one of the following twelve qualifiers, held all
over the nation. The next race will be at Athens
Motocross Park in Athens, Texas. For more information,
