The battle for the WPSA Quadterrain Challenge
Pro Championship came down to the final race of
season between CanAm Warnert Racing's Scott
Kilby and Jesse West with only 15 points
separating the pair after nine rounds of racing.
Warnert Racing's Chris Borich was also in a
points battle with Daryl Rath for the fourth
spot, and luckily for Borich, the final round of
the WPSA Powersports Tour location was changed
in the final weeks leading up to the event from
South Carolina to the Field of Dreams in
Boswell, PA, which allowed Borich to race in the
GNCC on Saturday and drive to the WPSA on Sunday
to defend his top five position and joining
Borich was Chris Bithell.

Borich & Bithell missed the first round of
Heats, but the pair came out swinging in the
second round of Heats with Borich claiming the
win followed by Bithell. Scott Kilby also
finished in the runners-up position in his Heat
as well, as the Warnert Racing prepped Can-Am
Outlanders proved their dominance, which set the
stage for the final race of the season.
Leading the charge in the Main event was
Chris Bithell as he blasted his way through the
mud pit and rugged rock section that followed by
teammates Chris Borich, Scott Kilby, and Adam
Vaughn. The mud and rocks was no match for
Bithell as he negotiated the obstacles
effortlessly pulling a significant lead over
Borich in the second spot. Kilby also was on gas
as he maintained fourth place.

When the checkered flag came out, it was
Chris Bithell out front claiming his first win
of the season with Chris Borich rounding out the
Podium in third place. It was Borich's sixth
straight podium finish, and it was more than
enough to secure fourth place in the points
standings despite missing the first two rounds
of racing otherwise, Borich would have been a
serious threat for the championship.
Scott Kilby finished out the race in fourth
place, but it wasn't enough to secure the
Championship, but it netted him a solid second
place finish on the year for Warnert Racing's
CanAm Team, and the combined efforts of Kilby,
Borich, Bithell, and Vaughn secured CanAm the
Manufacturers Championship.
The 2007 WPSA Powersport ATV Tour proved to
be another exciting year of racing for Warnert
Racing CanAm Team as they secured multiple
podium finishes and secured nine straight main
event wins between Borich, Kilby, and Bithell.
