HILLSDALE, Mich., (Sept. 18, 2007)
- American-made Cobra mini quads wrapped
up the major summer national Moose Racing ATVA
Motocross Series, presented
by Parts Unlimited, by capturing five overall
titles in the junior quad
classes - recording more 1st place and podium
finishes than all the other
brands combined!
"Our little guys really stepped up and raced
great this summer on the Cobra
ECX line of mini quads," said Sean Hilbert,
President of Cobra. "This is
only our second year of full production with the
Cobra quad line so we're
not only ecstatic regarding continuing the
heritage of the Cobra mini
cycle's success with our quads , but also with
the reliability of these
little competition quads. All reports point to
an even more successful year
to come in 2008."
Leading the way for Cobra on the ATVA tour
this summer was Cody Tittle. The
Florence, Ala., native won the overall 90cc
Production Senior class, taking
six 1st, two 2nd and one 3rd place podium
finishes in each of the nine
rounds he raced. "I feel that for the 2008
season I'll be able to win a lot
of Nationals with this Cobra, it has a very fast
motor," he said. But to do
so in '08 Cody will have to contend with his
younger brother, Cole Tittle,
who finished 3rd overall in the 90cc Production
Junior class. Noteworthy:
Cobra's Chase Horton finished 2nd overall in the
90cc Production Junior
class.
In the ATVA 70cc Shifter class West
Virginia's Brett Musick took the overall
title, winning six of the 11 races he entered on
his #209 Cobra ECX70. Tying
for 2nd overall in the class was Cobra's Cole
Tittle and Horton, each with
193 points. Fourth overall was Michigan's Alex
Szymborski who, along with
Musick, Tittle and Horton had a class win.
Rounding out the top five in the
70cc Shifter class was Cole Sepsi (Milan,
Mich.).
Szymborski then stepped up in the 70cc
Production class and was nearly
perfect, winning nine of 11 races and placing
2nd in the two he didn't win.
Connecticut's Zach Gyola was 2nd overall (one
win) and Indiana's Troy Smoot
was 3rd overall. Rounding out the top five in
the 70cc Production class were
Bradley Rose (Ripley, Tenn., one win) and Adam
Szymborski in 4th and 5th,
respectively.
In the 50cc Production Auto class Cobra mini
quads again swept the top five
overall spots. Winning the overall title was
Florida's Alex Hammond. Hammond
won six of the eight rounds he entered,
finishing 2nd in the two he didn't
win. Second place overall was Sepsi, who won two
rounds; 3rd overall was
Tyler Peters (Chippewa Lake, Ohio, one win); 4th
Adam Szymborski and 5th
Nolan Cochran (Gastonia, N.C., one win).
Finally, in the 50cc Stock class, Cochran
took the overall win with five 1st
place finishes and seven 2nd place finishes!
Next up for Cobra mini quads will be a report
on the overall Grand National
Cross Country Series, aka the "GNCCs." Four
rounds, beginning this weekend
in Unadilla, N.Y., remain on the series schedule
which wraps up Nov. 23 in
Cranberry, Pa., with the GNCC ATV Awards
Banquet.
