2011 AMA Racing ATV Extreme Dirt Track Nationals Round #5 - Ashtabula, OH Pine Lake July 23-24, 2011

Michael Coburn grabbed the holeshot in the Pro class but soon had his hands full as Harold Goodman was right on his grab bar. After a few laps, Coburn dropped back to second and soon came under fire from Kirby Cooke. The pair battled it out, but during the race, Coburn blew his rear shock and was not able to hold off Cooke.

Coburn then came under fire from Chuckie Creech. Coburn and Creech battled hard and swapped positions several times before Coburn would be able to hang on to take the final position on the Pro podium.

Hoosier Tire's #038 Michael Coburn was under pressure the entire race, but only Harold Goodman & Kirby Cooke were able to stay ahead of Coburn claiming the final spot on the Podium

“I’m a little disappointed because I did have a couple of issues out there, but overall I’m happy to be on the podium. I have to thank Neil and Mike from Hoosier Tires for all their help this weekend, as well as all my other sponsors, and family and friends, who came out to show their support,” stated Coburn.
