Andy
Lagzdins Claims Third Win of the Year, Tightens
Points Chase

Andy
Lagzdins regains control of the lead and
begins to pull away from Zimmerman |
As I was sprawled out over the front hood of my
quad, Rob motored past me. I remounted and gave
chase, and on the next lap I noticed he had a low
rear tire. In a tight woods section, I took a tighter
line and regained the lead. I tried to charge as
much as possible, and decided to pit early because
I knew Rob would be pulling in to change a tire.
Rob’s tire change took a little time, and
I was able to open up a comfortable lead.
The notorious Millville whoop sections were a
rush to ride through; they are about an eighth
of a mile long and separated by a 180 degree berm
turn. There are two fun uphill step-ups, and a
handful of loamy turns and straight-aways filled
with bone-jarring braking bumps.

By the fifth lap, the hundreds of turns in the
woods made me think my steering dampener was glowing
molten orange with boiling fluid spraying out
of it like Old Faithful. Everything held together,
and I crossed the line first for my third win
this season. Rob finished second, with Rob Weis
getting past Matt Lindle to claim the final podium
position. Dillon Abernathy rounded out the top
five.

The next round of the OMA Series takes place
in Boyers, Pennsylvania on September 8th. This
is a great event to attend, as it is also an AWRCS
points paying event. The venue has been the host
of numerous GNCC’s in the past, and should
turnout to be a great race with many of the top
quad racers in the world in attendance. See you
there!
