In the Pro- Am moto, Michael Pilotte, coming from
first overall in the Pro moto earlier in the day,
took the holeshot once again and checked out on
the rest of the class. He used the same mind set
and drive to stay out front and take the checkered
flag for the second time that day.

Canadian ATV racer Jasmin Plante would fly off
the line in second, behind Pilotte in the Pro-am
moto. Plante’s Ultimate ATV Performance
Yamaha YFZ450R helped him gain ground on Pilotte,
but due to the inclement conditions, he was not
able to close the gap enough to make a move for
the lead, leaving him to settle for a second place
finish.
Can-Am’s Joe Haavisto again finished
in the number three spot after getting a top
five start out of the gate. Haavisto kept on
the gas and worked his way up, passing both
Vinny Mofford and Tony Lucarelli before the
checkered flag flew.

an inside line, getting by, and staying in front
of Rookey in the six pack rhythm section, leaving
Rookey to settle for a solid fourth place finish.
The next round of the NEATV-MX Championship
series will be held on May 1st-2nd at the pine
tree laden track of Jolly Roger in East Lempster,
New Hampshire. Many racers and fans alike are
in tune with this track because of its fast
sweeping corners, outrageous uphill and downhill
sections, and of course, “The Intimidator”
downhill double. Michael Pilotte, Jasmine Plante,
Joe Haavisto, and Cody Miller will all be back
to try and secure a top spot for themselves
as this points battle begins to heat up! We
will see you all in New Hampshire for the second
round of this exciting NEATV series!
