New Berlin, NY - ATV MX racing headed North to Unadilla for Round #11 of the ATVA GNC MX Series. The Unadilla MX track has been a long time favorite Outdoor Motorcycle National Track, but this is a first time that ATVs have been allowed on the National Track at Unadilla, and the exciting news of this historic event spread quickly with an impressive 751 riders signing up to race.

The natural terrain track at Unadilla contained numerous unique features with the "Sky Shot" capturing everyone’s attention as the top riders launched over the jump reaching distances close to the 150’ mark on the side of the hill.
Posted by: Admin
The track also had several other unique features Including "Gravity Cavity", "the Wall", and "Screw U"
"Screw U" was almost a vertical dropoff and climb of about 150 feet which only the Pro and Pro Am riders were even allowed to conquer during the race, and they used every bit off horsepower climbing up hill side as you can see by the roost.

With so many elevation changes on the track, you would expect the parking, vendors row, and the Pro Pits to be on the side of a hill as well like other Natonal locations, but not at Unadilla.
The Pro Pits, vendor row, and all the parking was on level ground and there was plenty of parking space available on both sides of the road for racers and spectators and it was level, which is a plus if you drive to a races with a camper,trailer, or motorhome.
Posted by: Admin
The Pro Pits were stretched along a road and two rows deep to accommodate the large rigs.

John Natalie Jr wrapped up the National Championship at Daniel Boone with his Overall Win, so he put the #1 plate on his practice machine to celebrate his accomplishment, but don't worry, John plans on keeping his #13 number plate for good luck.

After winning the Championship, Honda invited John out to Oregon to film an upcoming commercial and everything was going fine until he high sided a berm and wrecked leaving him with a torn muscle and some serious bruising, but he wasn’t going to let it stop him from competing at Unadilla in hopes of breaking Doug Gust single season win record of eight in 2004

The buzz about the debut ATV National at Unadilla spread beyond the USA borders to riders in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada who made the trip to the US to either race or be apart of this exciting event.
European, John Mitchell, made the trip from Scottland for the oppurtunity to compete in the Pro and ProAm Class, and test his skills against the best in the World.

UK racing legend, Richard Cole, also made the trip from Europe to race at Unadilla in the 40+ Class, which would be his first time racing since 2001. After finishing 3rd Pont De Vaux in 2001, he was involved in a car accident on his way home, which ended his Pro racing career.
He hasn't let it stop him from being actively involved in the sport as he now has a training academy in the UK

Phil Cole not only loaned his Honda 450R to Richard Cole, but he also kept it clean between Motos.

Australian Pro,Luke Beechey, made the trip to the US to compete at Unadilla, but he decided to play it safe and test his skills in the 4 Stroke B and Production B where finished 2nd and 3rd.
Luke will remain in the US for Loretta Lynn's to see if he can capture a win before heading back to Australia.

3 Time Canadian Champion, Richard Pelchat, also made the trip to the US to compete in both the Pro and ProAm Class.

Todd Macke journey to Unadilla didn't start in a foreign country, but his story is just as important as he sought the help of fellow racers to finance his trip to New York from Illinois.

Pro Qualifiers
The Pro Class had 24 Entries this weekend, which meant that four riders weren't going to make the Big Show on Sunday.
The Top 10 Pro Riders automatically advance to the Main Event on Sunday, so the remaining 14 riders competed in the qualifier and last chance qualifier for the final 10 spots.
Pro Qualifier Gate List:
Gil Attix
Joe Haavisto
Jeremy Lawson
Harold Goodman
Tavis Cain
Jason Luburgh
Jason Dunkelberger
Richard Pelchat
Matt White
John Mitchell
Trent Kandel
Donald Lamborn
Donald Lysinger
Chad Wienen
With so much at stake, the start of the Pro Qualifier was anything but smooth with Jason Luburgh waving his hands in the air for a two minute delay, but his request was ignored and he was left sitting on the gate when it was dropped with the rest of the Pro class taking off for the 1st turn without him.
Posted by: Admin
Duncan Racing, Tavis Cain, powered his YFZ450 through the first turn with the Holeshot with Richard Pelchat challenging him for the lead early,but Harold Goodman and Gilbert Attix were able to move past Richard in behind Tavis Cain.
Posted by: Admin
Tavis Cain lead the Qualifier from start to finish to secure his spot in the Main Event with only the top 8 riders advancing to the Main in the qualifer with the final six heading to the LCQ
Posted by: Admin
Harold Goodman held down the 2nd Spot by the end of the 1st lap, but incredibly, Jason Luburgh was able to charge his way up to 3rd Place behind Goodman after making his move on both Jeremy Lawson and Gil Attix.
Posted by: Admin
Luburgh went on to pass Goodman to finish in second place with Goodman finishing behind in third ahead of Lawson, Haavisto, Attix, Dunkelberger, and White rounded out the final advancement spots to the Main.
Posted by: Admin
Canadian, Richard Pelchat, just missed qualifying finishing in 9th Place, so he would be heading to the LCQ

Scotland Native, John Mitchell, also was headed to the LCQ with his 12th place finish.

Trent Kandel's Pro Debut didn't go the way he had wished with him wrecking in Qualifier
Posted by: Admin
Pro Last Chance Qualifier
The start of the LCQ started out much smoother than the Qualifer with Chad Weinen and Richard Pelchat battling for the Holeshot with Mitchell, Lamborn, and Lysinger in chase.
Posted by: Admin
Things got crazy in the second turn when Lysinger drifted into Mitchell, which sent Mitchell flying off the side of his quad and into the path of Lamborn.
Luckily, Lamborn was able to avoid running over Mitchell as he rolled off the track over the berm. He jumped to his feet and ran over to seperate his quad from Lysingers, so the pair could resume the race, but with only two advancing their chances were slim with Weinen and Pelchat running away from the trio.
Posted by: Admin
Chad Wienen was able to qualify for his 3rd consecutive Pro National since turning Pro at High Point with the LCQ win over the Richard Pelchat claiming the final Qualifying spot in second place.
Posted by: Admin
For Donald Lysinger, his 4th place finish behind Donald Lamborn meant he would be watching the Main Event for the first time this season
Also, John Mitchell wouldn't get his opportunity to compete in Main Event either, but he finished 3rd in the Pro Am Production Class on Saturday and advanced to the Moto Two on Sunday where his bad luck continued when an electrical connector came apart leaving him sitting on the track and finishing 13th and 10th Overall.

#7 Joe Byrd lined up on the starting gate hoping to continue his Holeshot streak he started at Daniel Boone after never capture the Holeshot prior in his entire Pro Career
Posted by: Admin
Warren, PA resident, #32 Matt White(Hetrick Racing) isn't always in the spotlight, but he has quietly qualified for every Main Event this year.
Posted by: Admin
#161 Jeremy Lawson(JPMX) made his Pro racing debut at High Point along with Chad Weinen, and his first race was his best with a 15th place finish at High Point. At Daniel Boone, he ran into problems and didn't finish a Moto which sent him back to 19th, so he was hoping for some better luck this weekend.
Posted by: Admin
This Photo of Joe Byrd and John Natalie Jr in the background reminded me of the battle these two had for the win at Daniel Boone
Posted by: Admin
It was amazing to see how well Natalie Jr was riding considering the huge bruise on his arm and torn muscle, which might have kept many watching instead of racing.
Posted by: Admin
#55 Doug Gust(Team Suzuki/Yoshimura) continues to race in pain after his wreck at High Point, which sent him to the hospital for evaluation. His team manager, Wayne Hinson, would like to see “Digger Doug” take a break from racing to allow his body to heal up, but Doug doesn’t want to throw away his season with him still in contention to finish in 2nd Place behind John Natalie Jr, but he will need to stay ahead of both Jeremiah Jones & Tim Farr to do it.
Posted by: Admin
#4 Tim Farr(Team Honda/Baldwin) looked to be fully recovered from his wreck at Daniel Boone which prevented him from competing in the 2nd Moto, but just one week later, he went on to Win the Birch Creek Extreme Dirt Track Pro Race.
The saying "what Wins on Sunday, sells on Monday" looks to be catching on among the Pro Riders because Tim Farr made the switch to the Fox Racing Shocks this weekend instead of running his PEP suspension.
PEP's Wayne Mooradian was on hand for the race, so there was no secret that he was testing out the Fox Suspension
Posted by: Admin
#6 Tavis Cain(Duncan Racing) dropped out of the top 10 Overall at Round 10 when #199 Pat Brown(K&K ATV) just missed the podium with his 4th place finish for the 2nd consecutive year at Daniel Boone, which forced Tavis to Pro Qualifier where he easily took the win.
Posted by: Admin
#191 Dustin Wimmer(East Coast ATV) earned his 2nd Podium apperance of the season Daniel Boone edging out Brown, and for the 1st Moto he would be wearing the Jones Cam, and the footage will be available on ATVriders.com tomorrow if all goes as planned.

By Turn One, #13 John Natalie Jr had out powered the field with his Sparks Honda and took over the lead after Spader’s TC engine catapulted him to the front earlier, but he remained hot on throttle going into turn one and drifted to the outside, which opened the door for Natalie Jr with #7 Joe Byrd and #2 Jeremiah Jones moving in behind Natalie Jr

Posted by: Admin
in the final 2.5 laps, things quickly changed and the racing action became as intense as ever with Kory Ellis moving in to challenge Tim Farr for the 10th spot and securing it before the end of the 8th lap.

In the final lap, disaster struck for John Natalie Jr as his Honda shut off on him and wouldn't restart, so he jumped off trying to find out the failure and quickly reached for the coil, but it was fine, so after 9 laps of hard racing, Natalie Jr signaled for the pit crew to tow him back to the pits, which gave Spader the lead.
Posted by: Admin
#30 Travis Spader would hang onto the lead in the final lap and take the 1st Moto win, which was a huge confidence boost after a string of mishaps going back to Red Bud when he neglected to register to race and was disqualified when he was in the top 5 in points.

I thought it was awesome also when I heard about all the people helping Todd out . I seen him at the races and he had a huge smile on his face .

Ive read every coverage thread and never replyed and told u how much i appreciate it especially all the results cause im friends with vairous b and a class riders that follow the nationals and Harlen did Donny Lysinger have any mechanical troubles because i talked to him a week before Unadilla and he said it was 1 of his best races.

i heard the track was seriously under groomed. 750 riders with 3 practices, and all the moto's. and the track was'nt touched, other than wet down. it was way rough. not what i would expect from a national.

one thing I did notice on the clip of the race was it looked VERY challenging 
dry and ROUGH!

Well i can say that i did my fair share of complaining over the weekend about the rough track but it makes it challenging IMO i found it pretty fun but at the same time hated it...They didnt completly blow of the track maitnence cause they just push some of the dirt over the real bad turns. It really didnt do anything but at least they did something....Idk why everyone *****ed so much i thought sothwick was way worse last year
