Daigle, Rayder Split Pro Finals at Thornwood MX for Can-Am RMR Series
Presented by
the New England Dodge Dealers
WILLIAMSTOWN, NY (June 23,
2008) - Veteran ATV racers Brian Daigle
and Jason Rayder earned Pro division wins on
Sunday afternoon, as Rock Maple Racing (RMR)
completed Round 4 of the 10-race 2008 Can-Am
Series schedule at the beautiful Thornwood MX.
Daigle, of New Boston, NH, powered his Kawasaki
to victory in the Pro Unlimited final, while Rayder, of West Monroe, NY, held off fellow New
York natives Freddy Kiefer and Brandon Miller to
claim the Pro Am final. All classes completed
their final rounds right before a line of severe
thunderstorms rolled through the area, making
visibility extremely limited.
Steffan Dager powered his Honda to a win in A
Unlimited action, while Brad Burbine held off
Mike Mealus for top honors in the B Unlimited
class. George Layton continued his 2008 hot
streak in the Plus 35 class, out-gunning John
Lewis for the win. Andrew Ruel led a full field
of machines in the C Unlimited final, holding
off Josh Gola and David Dillabough to post his
third win of 2008. James Farney and Josh Bennett
completed the top five in this talent-filled
class.
Dale Robinson was the man to beat in Production Lites on Sunday, as he drove away from Curtis
Gillian and Dylan Whitmore to notch the win.
Robinson earned his second win of the day in a
thrilling Open Amateur final, out-dueling Ryan
Rhoades and Gillian for top honors. Chad
Underwood came out on top of a hotly-contested
Plus 25 final, with Daeger settling for second
and Kevin Watrobski third.
Jordan Storrs is becoming a successful young
racer on the Can-Am Series, as he claimed two
more victories Sunday at Thornwood. The athlete
from Fulton, NY, held off Dakota Bechlet and
Zach Potter to claim the 0-90cc Limited final,
then added a win in 0-70cc Unlimited action to
complete the day.
Other winners in MX classes on Sunday include
Cody Lyndaker (0-90cc Unlimited); Derrik Mann
(0-90cc Modified); Cole Lyndaker (0-70cc
Modified); and Richard Murtaugh (0-50cc Junior &
0-50cc Senior). Congratulations to all of our
final round winners on another great day of ATV
racing in central New York.
In QuadTerrain action Sunday, Jamie Bougher rode
his Can-Am machine to victory in a thrilling
Open class final. Alex Layn made the long haul
from Bristol, VT pay dividends with a solid
second place finish, while Paul Calderwood, of
Phoenix, NY, was third. Action in the
QuadTerrain Challenge is always exciting as
these 4x4 machines tackle a host of obstacles.
