American Suzuki ATV Regional Series moves in on Mapleshade MX

Dunncansville, PA -- The American Suzuki ATV Regional series kicked off the 2008 season with a great turnout at the Doublin Gap race facilities. With a promising weather forecast, the series moves into round #2 at the Mapleshade MX Park. In a fast outdoor motocross fashion, the Mapleshade track is proven to provide some of the best racing on the circuit.

Just one year ago, during the inaugural ATVA Regional Series, the Mapleshade round saw the likes of pro rider John Natalie. Coming off a career best 3rd place finish at last weekend's ATVA National round at Birch Creek, Jason Dunkelberger of East Coast ATV is scheduled to make an appearance at this weekend's event. Dunkelberger and the remaining Pro-Am class will try to hold off opening round winner, Kyle Dammann on his Cernics LTR.

We'll see you at the track...
