“Saturday’s Pro motos were really rough with all the mulch that was added to the track. This is my first year running under the ELKA banner and I am really happy with the switch. Our ELKA shocks with SIX 5 DESIGN suspension components worked great in the rough stuff.” regarded Hamrick after the race. Unfortunately a practice crash a week before the first round left AMA ATV Pro Tim Dettling in a cast on his left leg for a few weeks. Tim looks to return to action when the series heads to High Point Raceway in May.

With a 5^th overall in 450A and 6^th overall in Open A, amateur racer Scottie Vechery is pleased to be leaving Georgia in one piece after a big crash in 2012 left Scottie sidelined for nearly two years. “I’m happy with my results considering this is my first national being fully healthy in almost 2 years. In the second moto of Open A I was able to pull a massive holeshot. I am really happy we are using Maxxis tires this year and all the support they are giving the entire team.” said Vechery.

Vechery Racing/Never Sleep Designs Satellite support riders also had a great showing at the first round with Dan Hoisington taking 2^nd overall in College 16-24 and 3^rd overall in 450A, Dave Schrock securing a  12^th place overall in 40+ after losing a stator and Alex Pafford finishing 6^th overall in Super Mini and 8^th overall Schoolboy Jr Open.
