"I
just wanted to stay consistent because
I really wanted to put my Suzuki on
the podium"

Chris Borich:
“At the start, I took an inside line on
my Rockstar Makita Suzuki QuadRacer R450 and
was able toavoid a bottleneck that caught a
lot of other guys. But I ended up mid-pack and
then worked my way into fifth pretty quickly.
Then I just tried to ride smart. I like the
track and it would have been nice if the weather
had been better, but I just made the best of
it. I just wanted to stay consistent because
I really wanted to put my Suzuki on the podium.”
Doug Gust:
“It feels good to be back up on the podium.
I’ve been training really hard and it
paid off. I was able to get a good start off
the line on my Rockstar Makita Suzuki LT-R450.
The track was really good, there were good lines
to choose from and there were plenty of places
to pass. In moto two, I almost tipped over going
into the first turn, but I hung on and ended
up in about seventh off the start. I just stayed
consistent and was able to capitalize on a few
things and ended up on the podium at the end.
Now, I’m going to head home and train
for the next three weeks so I’m ready
when we head to Steel City.”

Dustin Wimmer:
“I’m hoping to return to racing
for the next round and I’ve been doing
everything I can to heal fast. It makes it really
hard when you put so much work and effort into
winning and staying on top, then to get injured.
It’s so frustrating; I can’t even
really describe how it makes me feel.”
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing will
race next .the Geico Mountain Ridge GNCC in
Somerset, Pennsylvania, the weekend of May 16-17,
2009, and at the ATV Stampede National at Steel
