Josh Creamer went 3-1 to claim the overall
in the Open Pro-Am class as he prepare
for the AMA ATV Motocross race this coming
weekend at Steel City |
In the Pro-am class, Josh Creamer got off to a
less that desirable start in mid pack and had
to fight is way through traffic. Creamer would
work his way into the number three spot before
crossing the finish line. In Pro-am moto two,
Creamer got off to a much better start in second
place. Creamer soon took the lead away from Michael
Pilotte and checked out to take the moto win and
the overall Pro-am win.
Nate Morello continued his holeshot streak
in the first Pro-am moto, with Michael Pilotte
right on his grab bar. Morello was able to hold
off Pilotte and had some relief with Josh Creamer
being tied up in mid pack. That allowed Morello
to take his first moto win of the season.

Kawasaki’s Joe Haavisto ran two consistent
motos in the Pro-am class. Haavisto took a respectable

to take over third, then Pilotte stalled a few
laps later and I moved into second place,”

final spot on the Pro-am podium.

his game this season, had a good start in moto
one, taking second in the holeshot and holding
his position all the way to the finish line.

holeshot and led for a good portion of the race,
before stalling in lap five, and falling back
for a fourth place finish. Pilotte’s impressive
performance earned him fourth place overall.
