TEMPLETON, Mass. (Sept. 11, 2007)
- New York-based riders James Stowell and Brent
Miller earned Pro class victories on Sunday
afternoon, as Rock Maple Racing (RMR) completed
Round 6 of the 10-race 2007 Can-Am Series for
ATVs at the beautiful Crow Hill Motor Sports
Park.
Mother Nature was less than kind to the Can-Am
RMR Series on Sunday, as rain moved in before
the day's events could be completed. Final
rounds were completed in five classes, while
other winners were determined based on combined
points from two rounds of qualifying. Trophies
were awarded to the top five riders in each
class.
Stowell, of Canjoharie, held off Luke Marois and
Jon Glynn for top honors in the Can-Am Pro
Unlimited class, while Miller was awarded the
Pro Am Unlimited win after Stowell's machine
failed the standard post-race technical
inspection. With his victory in the Pro Am
final, Miller, of Norwich, claimed Round 2 of
the three-race Polaris Racer Challenge, while
Stowell took top honors for the Pro Unlimited
class. The finale for the Polaris Challenge is
set for Sept. 30 at Hemond's MX in Minot, Maine.
Anderson found redemption in the A Unlimited
class, earning the most points in qualifying to
post the win. Steffan Dager continued his 2007
hot streak in B Unlimited action, piloting his
Honda to victory over Charlie Blumberg and Derek
Williams. Jon Raymond picked up his first RMR
victory in B 91-450cc Limited action, leading
Jared Kight and Patrick Hove across the stripe.
Ryan Krohn also posted his first victory with a
great performance in the C Unlimited final, with
Bradley Burbine and Bruce Gaspardi second and
third respectively.
Jim Thompson, of Corinth, NY, out-dueled Dager
and Andre Marois to claim the Plus 25 class.
Parity in manufacturers was evident here, as
Kawasaki, Honda and Polaris topped the charts.
Vermont rider Adam Lafountain out-gunned Joshua
Bennett and Nick St. Pierre to claim the C
91-450cc Limited class, while Taylor Thorne held
off Jill Walsh and snocross regular Michaela
Lemieux for top honors in the Women's class.
Connecticut rider Joe Costello showed them how
it's done in the Plus 35 class, holding off a
hard-charging Marois and George Layton for top
honors. Pittston, Maine based Justin Chamberland
continued his successful 2007 campaign with
another win on Sunday. The young athlete from
the Pine Tree State out-gunned Mike MacDonald
and multi-time winner Andrew Ruel to claim the
Production Lites final, one of the hottest
classes in ATV racing.
Justin's brother Jacob also had a strong outing
at Crow Hill on Sunday. Jacob powered his Honda
to victory in 0-90cc Unlimited action, then held
off Alex Parker and Jordan Storrs for top honors
in the 0-90cc Limited class.
Home-state rider Ethan Pearson also posted a
pair of wins, claiming the 0-70cc Modified and
0-50cc Senior classes. Pearson, of Wales, MA,
led Drew Blackstone and Davis Eames across the
line in Modified action, while Luke Brown and
Eames filled out the podium in the Senior class.
Eames would not be denied on this day, as the
East Hampton, NY, rider out-powered Cameron
Dufault and Connor O'Brien to claim the 050cc
Junior final. In QuadTerrain action Sunday, Alex
Layn held off Donald Emanuel and Can-am rider
Liz Storti to claim the Terrain Open class.
RMR would like to thank the Marshall's of Crow
Hill for their efforts in hosting this event.
