Middleboro, MA – Pro class
rider Myles Santaniello took his first Pro ATV
Moto win of his racing career at round seven of
the New England ATV Motocross Series, but it was
DRT Racing’s Michael Pilotte who would take
the overall Open Pro ATV win for the day.
The first Open Pro moto got off to a bit of
a rocky start as a first turn pile up involved
several riders including Kawasaki Monster Energy’s
Joe Haavisto, but as luck would have it, Myles
Santaniello was able to pull ahead of the carnage
and grabbed the moto one holeshot.

Santaniello ran a solid moto, leading from

gaining ground on him in the final laps. “It
felt really great to take my first moto win,”
said Santaniello.

Michael Pilotte came off the line in fourth
and had his work cut out for him as he began
working his way through traffic to take a respectable
second place, but the best charge of the day
came from Kawasaki’s Joe Haavisto. Haavisto
got caught up with Jason Connell off the start
and was in last place going into the first lap.
Haavisto put his head down and made an incredible
charge to work his way to the number three spot
before crossing the finish line. “It was
pretty tough out there. After Jason and I hooked
up I was dead last, but I just put my head down
and kept moving forward. I caught up to Arno
who was in third and we battled a little bit
before I was able to get around him and make
it stick,” said Haavisto, who hung on
for a third place finish.
