WPSA: PowerSports ATV Tour Makes Inaugural Visit to Virginia

6-27-2007

by Flagworld


QuadTerrain Pro Stock
The championship chase in the QuadTerrain Pro Stock ranks is just as wild as the Series itself. Though Scott Kilby (No. 207 Warnert Racing/Can-Am) is well in front in the Riders' Championship, a tough Jesse West is certainly within striking distance on his No. 888 West Racing/Arctic Cat.

West, in fact, showcased his strong, blue-collar will at the last race in Kentucky. After being involved in a crash on the first lap, West grabbed a new helmet from his pit area, removed a broken front axle and literally rode the race in three wheel drive to finish the final. Tired and sore, West still displayed his trademark smile after finishing.

West, who sits 16 points behind Kilby, leads an Arctic Cat train of riders trying to unseat the dominant Can-Am. Rory Beckman (No. 10 Jack Link's/Arctic Cat) is third, ahead of defending titleholder Daryl Rath (No. 67 Jack Link's/Arctic Cat). Keith Henshaw (No. 815 www.off-roadconnection.com/Arctic Cat) rounds out the top five in points.

SuperSport Side by Side
The PowerSports ATV Tour unveiled the new SuperSport Side by Side Series as a professional class at the season opener. Fans and racers alike were in awe of the capability of these race-bred machines and their drivers. Michael Kneebusch and his Rhino and Rath in his Prowler have dominated the new class thus far, which has grown in entries at every race.

All Pro Class Riders will be vying for one of the richest purses in ATV racing here. The Tour will award $45,000 in purse monies for the SuperQuad Pro 450 and QuadTerrain Pro Stock finals. The purse pays to 20th place in the QuadMX Series and to 15th place in QuadTerrain Challenge. The purse structure awards $4,000 to win each QuadMX final and $2,000 to win in each QuadTerrain Challenge final, with $15,000 and $7,500 available in each Series final, respectively.

Tickets, which start at $15 for adults and $5 for kids 6-15, will be available at the gate Friday morning.
