2011 Yamaha / Quad-X Racing Series Round #8 - Glen Helen Raceway San Bernardino, California October 29, 2011

In the Pro-am ranks there was plenty of competition as well and several foreign racers, who decided to attend this round, but Duncan Racing’s Garrin Fuller took top honors as he took the overall win and the 2011 Quad X Pro-am championship. In the first moto, Fuller battled it out with veteran racer, Mike Cafro. Fuller held off Cafro, who made several attempts to get past, but Fuller held on and took the moto one win.

In moto two, Fuller got off to a mid-pack start but worked his way through traffic and took over the number two spot at the midway point. Fuller pressured UK racer, Ol Sansom, but was not able to get by, giving him a second place finish in moto two. However, Fuller’s 1-2 finishes were good enough to give him the overall win and the Pro-Am Production ATV championship.

Dylan Dixon, who took second in the Pro-am points chase, also finished in a respectable second for the final round. Dixon was in mod-pack off the start in the first moto and would finish in seventh place, but rebounded in moto two. Dixon was in third off the start and took over second for a couple of laps in moto two. Dixon eventually fell back after Garrin Fuller made the pass on him, but Dixon held on to take a third place finish, giving him second on the Pro-am podium.

Logan Datin put in two solid motos, going 5-5, which would earn him the final spot on the Pro-am podium, his best finish of the season. Datin’s impressive podium finish also allowed him to round out the top five in Pro-am points for the season.

Jamie VanDeraa made the trek down from Canada and would take 4-8 finishes for fourth overall. English racer, Ol Sansom had issues in moto one, but came back strong to take the moto two win, but his 13th place finish in moto one would only allow him to round out the top five overall for the day.

Josh Pursell rode two consistent motos for a sixth place finish, while Daniel Ramirez would end his day in seventh. Irish racer, Cian Rogers took a solid third place finish in moto one, but issues in moto two would put him in eighth overall.

Mike Cafro, who had challenged Garrin Fuller for the win in moto one, encountered clutch issues in moto two after taking the holeshot and the lead. Cafro’s unfortunate issues put him in ninth overall.

TJ Barber held on for a tenth place finish, with Keith Carlson in eleventh and Jorge Guerro in twelfth. Mark McLernon came all the way from Ireland, but would only finish in thirteenth place.

The 2011 Quad X series has come to an end with Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson, bringing home his fifth Pro Quad X championship. The 2012 race schedule will be announced on Tuesday, which includes several new tracks, which should make for another exciting year of racing.
