2007 Yamaha / ITP QuadCross Championship Series Round #1 - Glen Helen San Bernardino, CA January 21, 2007

The Pro Class had approximately 30 riders signup with several top pros on the list. One being, Suzuki’s newest addition, Dustin Wimmer, on the LT-R450 Quad Racer, which would be Wimmer’s first major motocross race since signing with Suzuki over the winter. Alba’s Kory Ellis was also in attendance, and he also made the switch to Suzuki for 2007, and it is reported that he plans on focusing on the Quadcross Series in 2007. Also, Lonestar Racing’s Keith Little also was in attendance, and he will remain on the Honda for 2007. Ofcourse, the defending champion, Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson, was in attendance along with a huge turnout of other local Pro racers.

With such a huge Pro turnout, the first Moto was split into two qualifying heat races to determine gate selection for the Main. Keith Little grabbed the Holeshot in his heat race, and held the lead for two laps before Dustin Wimmer was able to make the pass and take over the lead. Wimmer would go on to win the qualifier followed by Little. Kory Ellis was on a mission as well in his qualifying heat as he walked away from Dustin Nelson to take the win, which set the stage for the Main.

With approximately 30 riders on the starting gate that was two rows deep for the Pro Main, the gate dropped with Keith Little leading the way into the Talladega turn followed by Dustin Wimmer with Chaos breaking out behind him them with several riders colliding. Little’s lead would be short lived when he overshot the second turn, which opened the door for Wimmer to take over the lead and begin to pull away from Little.

Kory Ellis worked his way through traffic and caught Dustin Nelson running in third several laps into the race with Ellis eventually making the pass and setting his sights on Little in second place. Ellis would catch up to Little, while the battling pair also began to reel in Wimmer in the lead.

Dustin Wimmer would hang on to claim the Pro Main win and his first official win aboard the Suzuki LT-R450. Keith Little would hold onto second place with Kory Ellis finishing along side of Little in the third spot followed by Dustin Nelson several seconds later in fourth and Cyle Chislock rounding out the top five.

A complete race report and event overview will follow within a few days along with the complete results, photo gallery, and videos.
