American Suzuki ATV Regional Series Gears Up Season Opener

Duncansville, PA- The anxious awaiting of the American Suzuki ATV Regional Series will be no longer in just a few short days. Opening weekend will be held at the Doublin Gap Motocross Park this coming weekend, April 19-20. The facility is located in central Pennsylvania, a few miles off the Pennsylvania Turn Pike.

Mike Salerno of Roxstar Images has scouted the facility several times this season while shooting event photos, "Although the track is primarily a dirt bike track, I think the quads will love the track and have no issues conquering the technical jumps the track offers. A large rhythm section with the possibility of many different combinations will be a sure hit with the riders. The owners of the track are more than excited to have the series visit the track and will be sure to have a fresh track for all the riders."
Riders contending in each of the classes will be greeted with some of the fastest national riders including the speed of East Coast ATV's own Jason Dunkelberger, who has been competing with the top factory riders on the ATVA National Circuit. We welcome back all 2007 racers and look forward to meeting all the new 2008 riders.
