the 30+ & 25+ Class, but he swapped

finish

After a hiatus, former ATV MX Pro Champion
Travis Spader made a comeback to ATV racing
once again, but this time on a Can-Am DS 450,
racing in four different classes. With the support
of his wife, family and BCS Performance, Spader
rode in Production A, 30+, 25+, and 4 Stroke
A.
Spader’s day started off with a little
bit of bad luck, ranging from a flat tire in
one of his moto’s, to a bad start and
flipping his bike in another. Spader placed
22 overall in the 4 Stroke A class due to a
DNS in the second moto. But Spader was able
to turn that around and finish with a first
overall in the 25+ class, a first overall in
the 30+ A class, a second overall in the Production
A class. “I plan on going to all of the
NEATV-MX races, we will see what happens this
year, this might be more than a one year thing,
it might not be” commented Spader on the
return to the series.
