Lempster, NH(10/21/2007) - Jolly Roger Motorsports Park was the home for the final round of the New England ATV Motocross series. The New England ATV Motocross series is the largest ATV racing series in the North East and attracted ATV racers of all degrees to the season finale at Jolly Roger Motorsports Park.

The staff and personnel were of a warm nature and really had the event planned out to the “t”. As I walked the pits, browsing through the race teams I was kindly greeted by people that had never seen me before in their lives and was often found myself chatting about racing, the sport, and how great this series has really become. The track was also groomed as well as it could be prior to the start of many races and was kept debris free for the remainder of the day.

The season finale was originally scheduled for October 13-14th, but was postponed because of rainy and cold conditions during the week prior to the race. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t improve much for new date either as heavy rains continued to pound the race course much of Friday night, and chilly weather persuaded many riders to not participate during Saturday’s practices. The rain held off for most of Saturday’s practices and all of the motos on Sunday.

Sunday’s races were plagued with soupy conditions and proved to many riders that this isn‘t always the best weather to be racing in. Many racers took a tumble after the starting gate including Lost Creek Cycle / Suzuki’s Joe Haavisto, after the bobble, Haavisto boarded the machine again and took off after the pack, ending in a 4th place overall position.

For many riders, this final race of the season was a mere “victory lap” as they knew they had already done the hard work in the earlier season to expand their points leads. Eric Hooper being one of them, piloted his #64 Yamaha YFZ-450 to the overall championship in the Open Expert A class, while brother, Kyle Hooper dominated the 4-Stroke A class aboard his #36 YFZ-450.

Women race in the NEATV-MX series as well and not only is there a good number of female races, but they are fast! This class ran the same course as the big boys and really is exciting to watch. #103 Amy Thompson owned the overall victory for this class for the season by controlling first place by a nearly 200 point lead ahead of the 2nd place position of #48 Cassandra.
