Ontario, CA (8/30/2007) -
Pat Brown scored the biggest win of his
career at the inaugural AMA Pro ATV Open
Invitational, riding his ITP-equipped, Golden
West Cycle-backed factory Yamaha YFZ450
to an impressive wire-to-wire victory in
front of a large crowd at Steel City Raceway
in Delmont, Pennsylvania. This unique event
gathered ATV racing’s elite to compete
for the first time ever at an AMA National
Motocross motorcycle event, and the quad
racing stars did their sport proud with
a striking show of speed and skill.
Brown, an ITP development rider, dominated
the event from start to finish. After
claiming the $500 ATVRiders.com holeshot
award, the 21-year-old New Jersey native
set a consistently fast, mistake-free
pace that no one else could match, gradually
pulling away on the slightly muddy, very
challenging course — in the process
setting the fastest lap time of the day
at 2:18.123. At the finish Brown took
the checkered flag with a comfortable
10 second lead. On the podium, while picking
up his holeshot money as well as the $5,000
winner’s check, Brown said, “It’s
amazing. I came out here and wanted it
real bad. I put my heart into it and got
it done.”

Brown’s Yamaha was running ITP
QuadCross MX tires in front and a pre-production
version of an all-new QuadCross tire model
in back: the QuadCross MX PRO. Several
significant updates, thanks to the input
of top riders like Brown, have resulted
in much better all-around performance
compared to the original. Further testing
is underway, with final production QuadCross
MX PRO tires slated for release in time
for the 2008 racing season.
