Well, our trip to the Steel City ATV National this weekend started with a major detour thanks to the Pennsylvania Turnpike closure Saturday morning, and Saturday night ended with a GPS unit that took us almost an hour in the opposite direction of our hotel room.But all in all the weekend was worth it. We saw some great racing action. The team Monster Energy Kawasaki riders were tearing it up all weekend, with Josh Creamer taking the overall win and Chad Wienen finishing in second overall for the weekend.
In Pro-am production, Kawasaki rider Cody Gibson finished first overall. And prodigal racer Joel Hetrick made his pro debut this weekend in the Pro-am unlimited class on a Kawasaki KFX450 by putting on a clinic and finishing 1-1 in both motos to take the overall for the weekend.
Witnessing some incredible racing action was just a bonus for our trip. The real purpose was to get our project 2009 Yamaha YFZ450R motocross quad to ATP Racing Engines so they can spend the next three weeks building and fine-tuning our engine.The Kawasaki rig didn't have all the hot shots this weekend. In Pro-am production, ATP riders Josh Williams finished second overall, Devin Heimes finished in fourth and Cody Grant took seventh overall.
All three riders looked great on the track and rode strong from the holeshot to the checkered flag.
We get our project YFZ450R back from ATP at the Unadilla national June 13. Then we'll be ready to bolt on our ATV Four Play MGC long-travel MX a-arms, Soft Bars, RPM Dominator II axle, TPR Race Safer nerfs and front bumper and all our other performance parts.
We're getting anxious as we get closer to the launch date with ATVOnDemand. Check back Wednesday for some more news about our project YFZ450R.
