Summit Indoor - round one

Kandel wins Money Quad

Trent Kandel powers out of a corner at Summit Indoor round one sporting a TPR MX-Series front bumper.

Trent Kandel piloted his 751 HMF/ATV Four Play/TPR Suzuki LTR450 to the top of the podium during the money quad moto at Summit Indoor Motocross Saturday night.

Kandel ripped the holeshot on the night's fastest quad moto and led the entire race in front of Summit's biggest crowd in recent history. Northeast Ohio race fans were packed four deep around the track fence and overflowed from the bleachers to witness Kandel school the field.

Get used to seeing Kandel out front. He'll be running his HMF/ATV Four Play/TPR Suzuki LTR450 in the pro-am classes at the ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship series beginning in March with round one at Alabama.

Trent will be running ATV Four Play long-travel front a-arms and Soft Bars, HMF engine work and TPR Race Safer Pro nerf bars with a TPR MX-Series front bumper this season.

CRA announcer 'California' Ben interviewed the money quad moto winner at the end of the race in front of the huge crowd. Racers and fans came from all over the northeast to Summit Indoor, which has become a popular venue for amateurs and pros alike during the frigid winter months. A few years ago, Baldwin Motorsports pro rider and Ohio native Josh Upperman made an appearance and dominated in similar fashion to Kandel's run this weekend.

One race dad who stopped by the Tarantula Performance Racing/DRR booth said he came all the way from New York so his son could get some time in on his DRR race quad. In case you missed it, you can check out the TPR project YFZ450R at Summit Indoor Round Two, which gets underway Friday, Feb. 26.

The TPR booth at Summit Indoor round one will return for round two in February.
