Jerime Dudding finished first in the U2 class and came in second overall

Snowshoe, WV (6/30/2009) -As most of you know Snow Shoe is by far my favorite track. It is very similar to the terrain of my practice track and is also the track that’s closest to home for me. I have had a great deal of success at this track over the last three years and I felt with all of the hard work we have put in lately this year would be no different.

My confidence level was huge and I was ready to tackle the toughest track of the year. We arrived late Thursday night well really Friday morning and drug ourselves out of bed early to walk the track on Friday. At a track like Snow Shoe walking the track can prove extremely valuable. Although walking the 10 miles up and down the mountain side isn’t exactly a walk in the park its well worth the time and effort. It took us over 5 hours to walk the track and we didn’t even finish the last section. During the race I was very glad I had put the time in though.

I started in the 13th row in the unique GP style start. At the drop of the flag and going into the first turn I had the lead. I was on a mission. I had plans of passing everyone I could possibly get around on the first lap so that I could make my own lines when the bottle necks came, and boy did they come. Soon after the beginning of the second lap I had the class lead and didn’t plan on giving it up.

Before the race fellow Can-am racer Michael Swift and I had a plan to hook up and roll to the overall podium together. Oddly enough that worked. KINDA…… About halfway through the 2nd lap Swift and I started pushing each other pretty good. Well that was until the bottlenecks. He went one way and I went another and well I went the wrong way. ? I watched him go out of site as I set behind a group of riders.

Its hard to explain how huge these bottlenecks can get. You will come around a turn and be looking at 30 atv’s piled on each others bumpers. Usually at a normal race I can take my Can-am Renegade 800R X XC through the woods around a bottleneck never missing a beat. Well not so much at Snow Shoe. Leaving the track at Snow Shoe can easily cost you the race. The two times I did other racers saved the day by helping me through. One time by rolling the quad off of me, but that’s all in a days work at Snow Shoe.

The third lap flew by with no issues and I was rolling. I passed other riders with ease and new I was running close to the front. That was until the last lap.

Wow! Lap 4 was a disaster, I set in bottlenecks for minutes with my goggles off talking to people, I rolled my Renegade, I almost got stuck on a rock wall. Thank goodness for my Super Grip Super Lite tires and extremely tough Hiper Sidewinder 12in bead locks.

After all the mess of lap 4, I still managed to roll across the finish line with a win and a 2nd overall finish behind Swift. It was a good day and I finally feel like I am getting back to my old ways.

The Renegade is working so good thanks to all my sponsors. Its really amazing how everything works together. From my Spider grips, Flexx Bars, and Powermadd keeping my hands and arms safe and feeling great, working with the AWESOME Hygear Suspension, Bopp front end. I feel like I can hit anything on the track wide open. Just in case though, DP slows the train down.

When you combine that with tons of power out of the 800R/LTE racing power plant its hard to beat.

Congratulations to Michael Swift for locking up the Championship in 4x4 limited and staying undefeated on the season.

I look forward to Unadilla after the break. I will be working hard to keep improving.

See yall at the locals until then….
