Unfortunately, safety concerns left over from the three-wheeled machines led to a mass exodus of OEM support from ATV racing in the late ¢¢â¬Å∸0s. Factory rides and fresh talent poured into this new series, and the sky was the limit. At the end of the season, the points from both series were combined to create the Grand National Champion (GNC). The series consisted of two distinct championship tours – one for TT-style flat track racing and another for rough and tumble motocross for both professional and amateur riders. Soon the racing scene took off, and the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) started a separate sanctioned series for the machines as part of their sister organization the new American All-Terrain Vehicle Association (AATVA). Sales of three and four-wheeled machines shot through the roof as families discovered the joys of working, playing and even racing on the latest equipment.

The move allows Brown to just be a rider, without the extra work of driving the transporter and setting up a pit area. With help from Root River Racing, Brown is running out of the Pro Motorsports tent this season. So to come back to finish on the podium, especially at this race, feels really good.”īrown has made some major changes to this program. I don’t know how far back I was, but I was pretty far back. “I made that pass on the last lap and man it was a good feeling. “It was not the start we wanted, but I just kept pushing forward,” said Brown. Making that many passes on a tight and rough track like Daytona was no easy feat.
