2016 Terracross Championship Round Five October 2, 2016 Jacksonville, North Carolina

Mystik’s Mickey Thomas had his own share of issues during the season. He led nearly every race this year at one time or another. Though he didn’t win an event, he did finish on the podium twice this season.

“It was a tough weekend,” explained Thomas. “We got second, which is one place better than last year. We wanted to take that number one plate away from Jason, and we were there, but we kept overheating. A lot of people had the same problems, especially in the mud.”

Open Trial’s Matthew Hancock was a last-minute addition to the Terracross field. He found out he was racing just two days before the season opener at Hay Days in Minnesota. He had the most success on the final weekend, scoring a runner-up finish as well as two thirds.

“I have to thank Harlen Foley, ATVRiders.com, Joe Duncan and Open Trail for the opportunity to race this year,” said Hancock. “I got a last-minute call from Harlen two days before the last race. I took a red eye. I got to Hay Days and it was an event like I’d never seen before. I went home after Hay Days frustrated. So I came out here and after I had some problems in practice, I put my head down and I felt really good in the car. These RZRs took it like a champ. I just stayed consistent. The track kept getting better and better.”

Matthew Hancock's three podium finishes boosted him to 3rd Place in points in his Terracross rookie year
