When the Can-Am Series last visited Thunder Ridge
in mid July, James Handy held off a late charge
from Jon Glynn to post his first RMR Pro
victory. James Stowell made it two-for-three in
a thrilling Pro-Am Unlimited final, blasting
past eventual runner-up Freddy Kiefer and third
place Brent Miller to make it an all-New York
podium.
Neal Moser rode his Suzuki to victory in A
Unlimited action, out-gunning Brian Daigle for
top honors. This was Moser's second win of 2007
after capturing the Plus 25 final at Twister
Valley. Nick Reynolds blasted to a win in B
91-450cc Limited action, while Brent Miller
powered his way to top honors in the 16-24
Unlimited class.
Thunder Ridge is situated on what was known as
the Edmonds Farm in the early 1960s. It's rich
history includes competitions like Hare
Scrambles in the late 1960s, when legends like
Dick Mann used to dominate the races. In the
early 1970s, the Three Rivers Trail Riders would
host the famed Scat Cat Enduros at Thunder
Ridge. Later that decade, the club hosted Trials
competitions which brought a different type of
rider.
The track hosted its first AMA-sanctioned
motocross race in May of 1975. Since that first
mud-plagued event, Thunder Ridge has hosted some
of the best motocross races fans in the region
have ever seen.
