RMR Series
Presented by
the New England Dodge Dealers
BRISTOL, VT (Sept. 15, 2008) - Matt Pomeroy
capped a successful 2008 ATV racing season
Sunday with two more wins, sweeping the Pro
finals as Rock Maple Racing (RMR) completed the
final round of the Can-Am Series schedule at the
annual Monkton Grass Drags.
Pomeroy, of Westfield, Mass., was consistent
throughout the entire season. His first win came
in Round 2 at Twister Valley, launching him into
a hot streak no other rider could match. Pomeroy
went on to record four more wins before Sunday's
finale, bringing his season total to seven. He
also swept the Pro finals at Thunder Ridge on
July 27, joining Luke Marois as the only two
riders to sweep two Can-Am RMR Series events
this year.
Steffen Dager also enjoyed a breakthrough
season on the Can-Am Series. The rider from
Hampstead, N.H., held off Aaron Blouin to claim
the A Unlimited final Sunday for his sixth win.
Brad Burbine is another RMR regular that had
momentum on his side in 2008. The young athlete
from South Royalton, VT, out-gunned Maine’s
Michael Gustus for top honors in B Unlimited
action.
Andrew Ruel was another of the RMR veterans
to hit his stride in 2008. The talented rider
from Enfield, N.H., won all but one C Unlimited
final this year and finished second to David
Livingston in that battle. In the pits since RMR
first entered ATV racing in the fall of 2006,
Ruel, of Enfield, N.H., has honed his skills to
championship form. Josh Bennett and Glynn
Desilva filled out the podium behind Ruel.
George Layton returned to winning form on
Sunday, holding off a hard-charging Colin
Lancaster to claim the Plus 35 class final. Joe
Costello completed the podium on a Suzuki as
Honda swept the first two positions. Vermont
native Leanna Lymon piloted her Yamaha to
victory in a hotly-contested Women's Unlimited
final, with Massachusetts-based riders Jill
Walsh and Sandra Pearson second and third
respectively.
Curtis Gillilan kept the home-state theme
alive with his victory in the Production Lites
final. The rider from Fletcher, VT, out-dueled
Justin Chamberland and Dylan Whitmore for top
honors as Honda dominated the podium.
Other MX class winners on Sunday include Jake
Chamberland (90cc Modified); Brittany Soucy
(90cc Limited); Richard Murtaugh (70cc
Modified); and CJ Clookey (50cc Junior &
Senior).
In QuadTerrain action in Monkton, Chad
Rheaume led an all-Vermont contingent as
home-state riders claimed five of six spots in
the Terrain Open final. Rheaume, of Middlebury,
led Bristol's Alex Layn and Jonah Rule across
the line as the Green Mountain State fans
cheered.
