Martin, Tremblay take Pro wins at New England Nationals

Fans were treated to the most intense finish of the entire season in the Pro Open final at the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series HK Powersports New England Nationals. At the podium it was Ross Martin in first, Emil Ohmen In second and Cory Davis in third. But those positions did not come without challenges.

Right from the green there was carnage as three or four sleds got tied up at the holeshot. All of them managed to make it back on the track with unfortunate positions in the back and Emil Ohman of Sweden ( Ski-Doo) was in first. At lap number five it was Ross Martin (Polaris) side-by-side with Ohman going into the minefield in the front section. Martin chose his line well and overtook Ohman. Once he got out in front he never looked back.

Ross Martin leaps into the Pro Open points lead.

Nobody could get past Tim Tremblay in Pro Super Stock.

Martin held onto his 4.5-second lead over Ohman for the entire race with Cory Davis (Arctic Cat) in third. Davis had a challenge coming up from the back of the pack as Launchin Levi LaVallee was breathing hard on Davis his back at the white flag. LaVallee was pouring on the steam and giving it all he had as he was tripling jumps that others were doubling and there is no doubt that had there been one more lap LaVallee could have been on the podium.

Martin looked smooth and effortless and smiled from ear to ear standing on the top of the podium.

For the Caterpillar Pro Super stock final riders charged out from the start giving the fans a race to remember. The battle for the podium had Robbie Malinoski (Polaris) out in front nearly the entire race followed closely by his teammate Andrew Johnstad. But fans held on to their seats and held their breath as Tim Tremblay (Ski-Doo) poured on the steam to put him in the lead.

Tremblay is in such good shape the 20 laps was a piece of cake for him and appeared to put his sled on autopilot. Tremblay tried not to make any mistakes as he could feel Malinoski breathing down his back. With six laps to go Ross Martin hit the throttle to take control over Johnstad leaving him in fourth.

At the podium it was Tremblay in first place, Malinoski in second and Martin in third.

Semi-Pro Results

The Track Inc. Semi Pro Super Stock #1 was rocking and rolling with the rhythm of pure adrenaline as the riders went 16 laps on the very demanding track. It was racing at its best. With the long front stretch whoops section fatigue was sure to be a factor. Kyle Pallin (Arctic Cat) took a four-second lead and held on for the last three laps all the way to the first place podium spot.

In the Air Force Semi Pro Super Stock #2, Bauer rode his Polaris to the checkers in first. He was followed by Logan Christian (Arctic Cat) and Colby Crapo (Polaris).

He charged hard to gain position back brining him all the way to fourth. In the end it was Justin Broberg (Ski-Doo) in first place, with Darrin Mees (Ski-Doo) in second and Logan Christian (Arctic Cat) in third.
