| Greg
Gee made the switch back to red for 2009
and finished 10th overall as he lead the
blue Fly Racing train with five racers all
with matching gear & helmets |
Pro
Rookie #123 Nick DeNoble rode strong early
on in both Motos, but faded in the final
laps, but once he builds the endurance,
he will be a serious contender |
Rounding out the Top 10 overall was Canadian
Greg Gee who switched brands in the off season
and entered 2009 on a Honda.

Mitch Reynolds his AMA ATV MX Pro Racing
debut on the new 2009 Polaris Outlaw 450MXR |
The weather was perfect, the stands were full
of spectators and the track had incredible media
support for the only California round on the tour...As
one of four Pro rookie's entering the 2009 season,
Nick DeNoble got "too excited" and ran
out of steam after narrowly pulling the holeshot
in his first moto as a Pro rider...Houser Honda's
Harold Goodman and Warnert Can-Am's Cody Miller
connected in the rolling section of the track
in moto one forcing a disappointing moto (and
day) for both...Mitch Reynolds is not only a rookie
but also pilots the only Polaris in the field.
The 2009 ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross
Championship heads east to Pell City, Alabama
for the FMF Spring Nationals at Mill Creek Raceway
on March 21 and 22 where the amateur classes will
join the series with their opening round of the
season.
