Series

FREMONT, N.H. (Oct. 9,
2007) - Call it a little post-season
practice, or call it spicing up a regional
battle, but no matter what the label,
Powersports ATV Tour national rider Josh
Creamer's weekend in New Hampshire was as
colorful as the foliage which typifies northern
New England in mid October.
The Team Green/Monster Energy Drink factory
Kawasaki rider swept the Pro class finals on
Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6-7, as Rock Maple
Racing (RMR) completed Rounds 8 and 9 of the
10-race 2007 Can-Am Series at the NHSA Grass
Drags & Water Crossing in Fremont, N.H.
Creamer blasted around the MX division track
like the Pro rider he is (6th in points this
year), showing the Can-Am Series regulars the
fast lines. Jason Connell, who swept Round 7 the
previous week in Maine, notched a pair of second
place finishes on both Saturday and Sunday.
Connell has been the class of the field during
the second half of RMR's 2007 season. Brent
Miller filled out the Pro podium on Saturday,
while multi-time winner James Handy claimed
third in Pro Am Unlimited.
Handy capped another strong weekend with a
third place run in Sunday's Pro Unlimited final,
while Matt Pomeroy finished third in Sunday's
Pro Am Unlimited battle. Several new faces
graced the podium over the weekend with over 200
entries overall. With a two-day crowd of nearly
30,000, Fremont was the right place to shine for
racers last weekend.
In other action on Saturday, Jeff Poulin held
off Eldon Townes and Mike Taylor to claim the A
Unlimited final. Andrew Hogan prevailed in a
hotly-contested B Unlimited class, with Danny
Hurd Aaron Blouin second and third respectively.
Allen Desautels out-gunned Jared Knight for top
honors in the B 91-450cc Limited final, while
David Livingston held off Adam Lafountain and
Josh Bennett to claim the C 91-450cc Limited
class.
Ryan Coleman came out on top of a grand
battle in the C Unlimited class, with Can-Am
Series regular Glynn Desilva second and Dylan
Bisson third. Andre Marois, of Weare, NH, took
top honors in the Plus 25 and Plus 35 classes.
Marois led an all-New Hampshire parade with
Steffan Dager and Peter Hahn filling out the
podium for the 25-year olds; while Brain Lavange
and Bob Walker placed second and third for the
over-the-hill gang (age 35 and over).
Andrew Ruel returned to his winning form in
Fremont, out-dueling Justin Chamberland and
Chase Bukouiec for top honors in the Production
Lites final. Ruel was one of RMR's first winners
during the inaugural six-race campaign in 2006.
Lauren Whipple prevailed in the Women’s class,
holding off Jill Walsh and snocross veteran
Michaela Lemieux for the victory.
Rounding out the list of class winners on
Saturday were Paul Martin (Open Amateur); Alex
Parker (90cc Limited); Robbie Leonard (90cc
Unlimited); Montana Jess (90cc Modified);
Christopher Kearney (70cc Modified); Ethan
Pearson (50cc Senior); and Richard Murtaugh
(50cc Junior).
Sunday's action was also filled with talent,
capping two days of ATV racing with some
terrific battles. Paul Ho Sue rode his Suzuki to
victory in the A Unlimited final, with Brian
Daigle second and Neal Moser third. Hurd
improved upon his runner-up performance from
Saturday with a victory in B Unlimited, with
Dager second and Charlie Blumberg third. Bisson
held off Livingston and David Walsh to claim the
C Unlimited final, while Marois repeated his
Sat. Effort with two more wins (Plus 25 and Plus
35).
Other winners in Sunday's MX classes include
Wesley Raymond (Open Amateur); Jill Walsh (Women
Unlimited); Ruel (Production Lites); Jess (90cc
Modified); Andy Cummings (90cc Limited);
Gabrielle Conners (90cc Unlimited); Pearson
(70cc Modified & 50cc Senior); and Murtaugh
(50cc Junior.
In the Utility division Sunday, Bob Lemay
rode his Arctic Cat to victory over Bob Brittain
(Can-Am) and Alex Layn (Yamaha) in an exciting
Terrain Open final. RMR would like to thank the
New Hampshire Snowmobile Association for having
the Can-Am Series return to their hugely-popular
event in 2007. It is by far our biggest crowd of
the season and we're proud to be a part of the
show.
The final round on the 2007 Can-Am Series
schedule is set for Sunday, Oct. 21, at Thunder
Ridge in South Edmeston, New York. Rock Maple
