New England ATV Motocross Walden Playboy MX Round 11 - Wallkill, NY September 26th, 2010 Story & Photos by Garrett Hamilton

2010 NEATV-MX Pro, Pro-Am , & Amateur ATV Race Report ::Continued::

Pro-Am moto one would get underway and see Cody Miller put his Can-Am right up front during the holeshot but would later be overcome by KTM mounted Michael Pilotte as he was out for redemption of his first Pro moto. Pilotte would go on to take the moto win but would drop out of podium contention with an eleventh place finish in the second moto.

Cody Miller wanted to get a holeshot for himself & he accomplished this goal during the first of two Pro-Am motos as he blasted off the line in front of Nick Moser, Rich Stambach, Tony Lucarelli, & Michael Pilotte who would later go on for the moto win!

Jasmin Plante had his Yamaha dialed in for the Pro-Am class as well as he went on to finish 3-1 in the class for another first place overall finish. Plante would get off to a rougher-than-usual start as he was near the rear of the pack off the start but would quickly work his way through the pack to claim a third place finish.

Jasmin Plante decided an overall win in the Pro class wasn't good enough for him so he would go out & take the overall win in the Pro-Am class as well. Although it was not a perfect 1-1 finish for the Canadian, his 3-1 was just fine for the overall win & move back into striking distance of the Pro-Am points chase!

Pro-Am moto two for Plante was much better for him as he was able to finish in first place which would give him first place overall as well. Although he was not able to start the race with a clean slate out front as he would battle with Pilotte for the lead, he was able to capitalize and take over first place. Plante was on the top of the his game for round 11 and it showed as he put on two dominating performances.

Cody Miller would come out swinging during the first Pro-Am moto taking the holeshot and lead for the majority of the race. Pilotte would then put in a hard charge to the front and pass an ailing Miller would be struggling to hold onto his quad. Miller would still finish the moto in a solid second place finish just moments behind Pilotte.

BCS Performance's Cody Miller remained in the thick of things during his Pro-Am performance as well with another 2nd place overall finish. He now sits in first place of the Pro-Am points chase as well heading into the season finale at Hemond's MX Park in mid-October

Moto two would be almost an exact replica of his first moto but this time he would do battle with Dunk and Pilotte before settling into his second, second place finish. His 2-2 would be good for second place overall on the day and keep him in the points lead of the Pro-Am class by 22 points over Jasmin Plante heading into the final round at Hemonds MX Park.

Joe Haavisto was having a good day as well as he was able to secure third place overall in the Pro-Am class as he went 4-4 on the day for third place overall. Haavisto would do battle several times before finishing in his fourth place position but he would play his motos smart and strike when the iron was hot!

Motoworks/Can-Am/Elka's Joe Haavisto put in a very consistent run in the Pro-Am class going home with a 4-4 set of moto finishes & 3rd place overall to keep him in 4th place in the points chase!

Moto two for Haavisto was equally as well with another fourth place finish. He now sits in fourth place in the Pro-Am and Pro points chases behind Pilotte by 7 points in the Pro-Am class and 6 points in the Pro.
