WPSA: PowerSports ATV Tour Returns to Daniel Boone MX

6-15-2007

by Flagworld


QuadTerrain Pro Stock
The QuadTerrain Pro Stock story of the weekend is certainly going to be about local riders Adam Vaughn and William Yokley.

Vaughn (No. 83 Warnert Racing/Can-Am) virtually invented the construction methods behind the WPSA's QuadTerrain course layouts. In fact, last year, the London, Ky. native virtually built the course himself!

Yokley, on a brand-new Kawasaki, will return to WPSA competition for the first time this season. Although he missed the first round, Yokley still finished third points in 2006 after scoring three convincing victories. Yokley is from Tompkinsville, Ky.

Arctic Cat's "Minnesota Connection" has paid dividends this season with Rory Beckman leading fellow Minnesotan Jesse West by just six points in the QuadTerrain title chase. With a single podium, Beckman's (No. 10 Jack Link's/Arctic Cat) consistent qualifying efforts have elevated him to the top of the standings.

West (No. 888 ITP Tires, Oil Boyz/Arctic Cat) has shown that being a privateer isnÕt a disadvantage in QuadTerrain racing. With a win, and some amazing back-to-front charges this season, West is always the rider to watch.

Scott Kilby (No. 207 Warnert Racing/Can-Am) currently sits third in points, and is looking to bring his powerful yellow-and-black machine to the front. Consistently fast at the start, Kilby always gives the crowd something to watch going into the first turn.

Jesse West's brother and teammate Josh (No. 788 ITP Tires, Oil Boyz/Arctic Cat) sits fourth in points, ahead of defending WPSA QuadTerrain titleholder Daryl Rath (No. 67 Jack Link's/Arctic Cat).

Though points are irrelevant to this rider, victories aren't, and cross-country legend Chris Borich proved that at the last round with a dominating victory aboard his Warnert Racing/Can-Am.

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. With a new Arctic Cat built by Rath Racing unseating the usually favored Yamaha Rhino in the last round, the gauntlet has been thrown. These machines are built from the ground up to race and will certainly be a highlight of the weekend.

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 in QuadMX and $2,000 to win in QuadTerrain Challenge, 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.
