ATVA GNC Round #1 was absolutely rockin today!!

Todays qualifying heats were just awesome. From
the mini's, mini modified all the way up to pro am and pro.

I have to say my only disappointment was the suzuki crew.
As a father taking your 11 year old son to the races is all about
meeting his heroes and getting autographs everyone delivered
except for team Suzi. So to team suzuki an F

I heard Gust is a prick to people.

that is how rumors get started I am sure he was not a prick, he is a cool guy:)

No he pretty much hit the nail on the head, he is a prick. If you want to talk with some really nice pro guys or get a few pics with the son, talk to Byrd, Ellis, Spader, Little or Natalie, these guys are top notch in my book. Especially Ellis and Byrd. These two guys have helped me alot in the past.

gust is a smart-a$$ ive talked with him several times, JJ is awsome though! creech, natalie, ellis, farr, little- all supernice guys.

Thats very interesting considering those are those that we talked to!!!

I got a hug from John Natalie Jrs Mom... :-) What a great bunch of people.

Now that i've come down a little from the excitement of the day
I have to tell you about Pro Moto #1 It was unbelievable!!

There were no less than 6 lead changes during the 10 minute + 1 Moto.

I completely missed the holeshot because of a nasty 3 quad pile up at the ITP Taladega turn #1.

Eventually we had Pat Brown (199) out in front with a great battle with I think Joe Haavisto (75) followed very closely by Dana Creech, Tavis Cain and another rider.

Pat brown led for about 1 lap when his rear slid out in turn #2 stalling himself and the #2 rider which left Dana and the others to 1,2, and 3.

Dana made it through and trouble with a wash out right after the finish line turn leaving him in 5th place after the others passed him.

So it was Haavisto or White leading still dont have the number straight and Pat brown back in 3rd. Next lap around the #1 and #2 spots piled up again and Brown regains the lead.

Dana Creech moved up through the pack again but lost it again.

Pat Brown made a charge for the win at the end but #75 edged him out. Dana came in 3rd with 4th and 5th litterally right on his rear.

Man I really should have taken notes.

Jason Lubergh ran away with Moto #2

what happened to the other top names?

Well that all depends on which top names you're talking about. The top 10 from last year do not have to qualify. They get an automatic advance to the main.

Lysinger was caught up in the turn one pile up, Brock Lyons left after lap one with equipment issues.
