Hilltop Qualifier
by Jake Sevits

April 6th was just another Sunday to most people, but to the dedicated participants of the ATV Amateur Championship, it was another chance to qualify for the big show. The track was Hilltop Motocross, located in Mexico, Missouri. The weather proved to make it a nice day of racing, as rain the week before had gotten the track watered and in excellent shape. Lots of changes had been made to the track, so the playing field had been leveled for the non-local riders. Practice got started off at 9:30am sharp. The track is a fun natural terrain track, set on top of a hill (hence Hilltop MX). The top of the hill features a rhythm section, whoops, bermed corners and a wide open uphill, finish line triple. There are also many fly-aways leading off the sides of the hill. Wide open straight aways lead riders back through woods sections.

Many local Missouri riders took advantage of the chance to get their foot in the door in their classes for the final race at Moberly, MO on August 3rd. The participants ranged from riders that missed out on the Moberly, MO and Athens, TX qualifier to people that were there and were stricken by mechanical problems, or were just unable to qualify in their desired class. In the featured Pro Am class, there was a heated battle between Jason Robbins, Jeff Robbins, and Ronnie Higgerson. Jason had already qualified at the Moberly qualifier, but was there for the practice. Ronnie and Jeff were both at Moberly also, but fell victim to unfortunate incidents. They were in their prime today, however, and both Jeff and Ronnie, along with Jeremy Gann and Adam Anderson, added their names to the Pro Am qualified riders list.

They day had one thing missing, however, and that was the #2 Suzuki of Dave Frye. Some of you may know that Dave was injured seriously at the Pell City, Alabama national. For more information go to: http://racerxill.com/breakingnews/article/5009/missouri-pro-rider-down.aspx. A card made by local Pro Am rider Nate Hibbs was passed around the pits on Sunday for concerned friends and competitors of Dave to sign and wish their best.

The ATV Amateur Championship qualifiers will continue on April 19, in Montezuma Iowa, for those that have not yet qualified and want to.

ATV Amateur Championship HLR Motorsports Qualifier

It may have been cold, but that didn’t discourage 108 of the fastest ATV motocross riders in the area from participating in the first round of the ATV Amateur Championship. The first of thirteen qualifiers, the race was held in Moberly at the HLR Motorsports Park in Moberly, MO. By the looks of the weather the week before the race, with the cold temperatures and wet conditions, anyone would have guessed the race would have been cancelled. However, with a lot of hard work of track preparation put in by Steve Halterman, the track owner, and a little luck, the track was in prime condition for a day of races. One worry of the riders was “the track conditions during practice being so slick because the ground was frozen” said Jason Robbins, Pro Am. However, after practice, the temperature warmed up enough to work the track into great shape. Despite concerns, the track was not too wet, but just moist enough for the competitors’ tires to hook up very efficiently.

Seldom was there a boring moment on Sunday, as great racing went on all day long. David Frye took home the money in the Pro Am class, coming back from a second place win in Moto one and taking first in Moto two. Tragedy struck for many of the Pro Am class contenders, including Jason Robbins who took a nasty spill in the whoops section. Jeff Robbins also has a bad wreck in that second moto, and Ronnie Higgerson fell victim to transmission troubles. However, Frye still had to work very hard against the other eight riders in the Pro Am class to take the win. The top four riders in each class qualified for the championship race, which will be held back at HLR Motorsports Park in Moberly on August 2nd and 3rd. Anyone that feels they have the skill and dedication to qualify can try their hand in one of the following twelve qualifiers, held all over the nation. The next race will be at Athens Motocross Park in Athens, Texas.
