ATV Source - Racing - 2001 - GNC ATV Nationals - Round 9

2001 GNC "Cannondale" ATV National
Round 9
Wayne County Speedway
Orrville, Ohio
July 20-22, 2001

As Team Source walked onto the Wayne County Speedway racetrack, we began to wonder what thrills and chills we were going to encounter for Round 9 of the GNC ATV Nationals. At every racing event we have attended this year, we have witnessed some of the hottest bar-to-bar racing action in the country. Was the Cannondale ATV Nationals going to provide us with the same racing action?

Saturdays full day of TT racing proved to be competitive and filled with exciting racing. We applaud John Pellan and the Fast-Track crew for their innovative track layout. It was far better than last years event and any other TT event we have seen before. While the track utilized the entire front straight, from the 4^th turn going all the way around to the 2^nd turn and then from middle of the back stretch to the 3^rd turn, the track encompassed the entire infield with tight twisting turns. The most unique setup was the inside outside section of the track. This section had a technical inside line while the outside line was setup for pure speed. This section of the track provided some of the most thrilling action as the quads split apart and then came back together in the 4^th corner turn. Watching the riders pick their lines was interesting. We watched the pros utilize both lines and switch between them during their heat races and the main events. It was obvious neither gave an advantage time wise over the other.

Shane Hitt had everything going for him and was unstoppable the entire weekend. Winning the Friday nights Short Track National Championship was just a warm up. Shane came out on Saturday and continued to win his heat races and held onto the lead for most of the main event. Shane was closely followed by Timothy Farr and Doug Gust. The racing was so close that Farr and Gust could have easily taken the lead at any given time. Farr had several opportunities to put a move on Hitt, but was quickly shutdown as Hitt had the better lines around the track.

Shane was able to hold onto the lead and captured the checkers for the second straight year. Timothy Farr and Doug Gust rounded out the podium.
