| AMA
Pro ATV Motocross Series Goes to California for
Round Two |
|
Surprise
first-round winner Jeremy Lawson (#16) hopes to
repeat aboard his Honda at the second round of
the AMA Pro ATV Motocross Series March 24-25 at
the Glen Helen track in San Bernardino,
California.
The Pro series is part of the
ATVA ITP/Moose National Motocross Championship.
Last year, Honda rider Joe Byrd (#7), John
Natalie (#13), also aboard a Honda, and Suzuki's
Doug Gust (#55) were on the podium. Each of them
hopes to claim the top spot this year. But there
are a bunch of young Pros gunning for the win as
well, besides Lawson. Others include Honda's
Keith Little (#12), Chad Wienen (#44) aboard a
Honda, and Ruiss Shumaker (#68), who rides a
Suzuki.
Besides facing world-class
competition, riders are vying for contingency
money offered by Kawasaki for riders on its new
KFX 450R, Honda, and ITP.
Every round of
the AMA Pro ATV and ATVA ITP/Moose National
Motocross Championship will be broadcast on the
Versus cable network. Tune in May 2 and 9 at 3
p.m. for Glen Helen coverage.
The Glen
Helen gates open at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March
22. Test and tune practice is set for 10 a.m. to
3 p.m. on Friday, March 23. On Saturday, March
24, practice begins at 8 a.m. with racing

classes will race their first, or qualifying,
motos and last-chance qualifiers on Saturday
except for the Pros. Practice begins at 8 a.m.
on Sunday, March 25, and all classes will race
their final motos. Pro riders will race their
first moto at noon. The Pro final will be at 3
