TQRA 2011 Round 2 – Valley Moto MX, Buffalo Valley

Have you ever heard of a race being canceled as a result of a forest fire??? Driving to Valley Moto MX Friday evening . . . you saw thickets of smoke and ‘glowing orange’ on the mountain sides. There were many forest fires throughout the journey to the track – however, no harm done to the track and there were . . . PERFECT racing temperatures!! Two races in a row, dare we ask for a 3^rd? Once again, TQRA had an incredible turnout even factoring in the skyrocketing fuel prices.

As expected, the Expert and ProAm riders put on a show for the spectators. Snapp Brothers came with their race faces on and very focused on throwing down some laps in preparation for the Pell City National, March 19 – 20^th. Younger brother Chase took the 1-1 win in both Expert and Pro –Am. Corey gave a solid performance walking away with 3^rd in Expert and 4^th in Pro-Am. Miller Brothers were also in attendance along with TQRA veteran Johnny Hale. With Snapps x2, Millers x2, Hale and Reimers all on Can Ams; Can Am secured the top 5 spots in both classes. Yellow and Black has dominated the first two rounds of the 2011 TQRA Series.

Young rider Colton Cluck on the 29 KTM is worth mentioning; he took 3 of 4 holeshots in the Open Quad and stacked Open B class. Colton is hanging with the older riders and showing all, he is a young man with potential and drive. For the second consecutive race in the 2011 TQRA Series, Open B had a full gate. As a matter of fact, so full we had to hold an LCQ. The main held 18 quads at the gate, and the holeshot was nothing short of nerve racking . . .Colton Cluck prevailed and clinched his 3^rd holeshot of the day!! Another youngster, Pake Shinn, took the overall for the second race in a row followed by former Cross Country racer, Travis Brown in the 2^nd spot, Pierce Barrett riding a Thomas Brown Yamaha, took the third spot. From far west Texas, Tyson Pendergrass took the 4^th spot and freestyler, Garrett Moenning secured the 5^th spot after taking a hard spill in practice.

With 5 riders registered, the Mini Mod class is growing. Cory Gonzalez took the overall on his Modified Honda, followed by Garrett Collins of Conway, AR . Cody Ford took spot #3 and Austin Gaines took spot #4. We continue to try to build the Mini Mod rider base, in hopes of growing our youth program at TQRA. Help us spread the word . . . . this is the future of quad racing!! All class and rule information can be found on the TQRA website www.tqra.com.

Mini Riders and Pee Wee riders are always fun to watch. Check out the video of Mini Rider “hit and run” . . . the parent did not receive any injuries and the rider continued his race! These little guys and gals are just as competitive as the bigger kids and adults. No one was getting in this riders way!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If2KVeWHOVk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Our Mini and PeeWee classes continue to grow. Andrew McWilliams made his racing debut on his Honda, modified with foot pedals by Dave Carter. Here is TQRA Pro, Johnny Hale giving Andrew some final advice before the gate drops in Moto One. Andrew waved to the spectator crowd after his finish and even gave a ‘brief’ interview to the announcer. Of course, his answers were “yes” “no” “yes” “yes”!!! Let’s just say I believe this little man is hooked!! Andrews parents have created a monster and older brother, Jacob, better watch out!!

TQRA has an abundance of classes to offer all skill sets and racer enthusiasts. Our schedule does not conflict with the ATVA National schedule. Come check out all TQRA has to offer at the 3^rd Round of the 2011 TQRA Series. www.tqra.com

TQRA 2011 Series Kicks Off with a BANG

Can Am's Cody Miller

Texas temperatures were exceptional for the TQRA Series opener at Village Creek MX in Ft. Worth, Texas.   Sun shining, 75 degrees and lots of racer enthusiasm!!  Families, father/daughter and sibling rivalries all lined up at the starting gate.  New members and returning members came to support the biggest QUAD racing series of the Southwest.  Entries from Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana contributed to over 150 entries and 400 spectators!

While all classes are growing, the Pro-Am, Expert, Open B and Over 30 were impressive.  Seven of the quads on the starting line of Pro-Am and Expert were Can Am DS 450’s. Snapp Brothers Racing –  Corey and Chase Snapp lined up against The Miller Brothers, Hunter and Cody Miller and long time TQRA rider Johnny Hale.  All four moto’s were battled until the end, with Can Am’s taking the top four spots in both classes!  Chase Snapp walked away with a 1 -1 and both holeshots in the Pro-Am class with Cody Miller taking a 2-2.  Hunter Miller and Johnny Hale battled to the end in both moto’s giving Hunter 3^rd overall and Johnny the 4^th spot.  Brent Sellers made his racing debut on a 450 and clenched the 5^th spot in Pro Am and a 1-1 in Open A.   Open Expert had the same results for both moto’s.  Cody Miller took 1^st, Hunter Miller 2^nd, Johnny Hale 3^rd and Snapp Brother, Corey 4^th.   This series promises a lot of bumping, tire rubbing, airing out and great competition!!

The Open B class had a full gate with 18 riders lined up!!  Pake Shinn also made his 450 racing debut, moving up from the Blaster class.  He rode his way to a 1-1 finish.  Cross Country rider Travis Brown, riding a Can Am, took 2-2 and TQRA newcomer, Brandon Clark took 3^rd.  The most impressive finish of the entire race day was FEMALE, Rachelle Lewis – former TQRA Women’s Champion, took 4^th overall.  Rachelle stuck with those boys through the first turn in both moto’s and rode flawlessly.  I’m sure there were some riders looking at that ponytail when the helmet came off!!

Who says older gents can’t ride?  Guess they weren’t watching the Over 30 class!!  With 25 riders combined for Open Over 30 A and B – there was competition in the hole shot, corners and air.  Top 5 finishers in 30 A were Jeremy Stegall, Shannon Klaassen, Shelton Cooper, Scott Dunn and Jeff Reeves.  Top awards in Over 30 B went to Eddie Shafer, Dale Alexander, Brandon Johnson, Zeb Beard and Rich Standish.
