BRENTON ROMPS TO CONVINCING VICTORY AT NSW ATV CHALLENGE

30/Jun/2009

NSW finally managed to stage a top level ATV race meeting last weekend at the Barleigh Ranch Raceway near Newcastle. Organised by staff from Hardiman ATV
Performance Products and ATV racers such as Mick Roycroft the event was run in conjunction with the Hunter Motorcycle Club.

The KTM sponsored the event which was hoped to also qualify for State Championship status but due to the fact that the track was utilised the weekend before ruled the NSW ATV Challenge not recognised for State Championship status.

Organisers were also somewhat disappointed at the lack of entries from interstate despite a very reasonable $60 entry fee for unlimited classes.

The 1.8km clay and loam circuit posed no problems for Western Australian dynamo Chris Brenton. The KTM backed entrant dominated the Pro class with a clear win in each of the three 15 minute motos.

“I clean swept the pro class quite convincingly with no competition,” said Brenton. “I had about a 25 second lead on the rest of the field, so it wasn’t very challenging for me. I also raced in the manufacturer’s class and won my race, but unfortunately my team mate Len Pipicello had a crash, so KTM got second for that class to Kawasaki.

“I rode a stock standard KTM ATV 450 SX, with only my personal Fasst Flexx bars, and steering dampener fitted by KTM Newcastle, other than that it was straight off the dealership floor.

“My greatest challenge was to see how I could compete on a stock bike like this, against other ATV’s that have head a heap of parts added.

“I’m looking forward to some tougher competition coming soon for the National ATV Championship in September, that’s when the biggest names from all around the country will compete like Chad McKay, and Ryan Lancaster. I’m keen to see how hard I can push myself, and the KTM ATV 450 SX up against these guys.”

Len Pipicello took out both the Expert and Veteran categories to earn KTM yet more silverware.

“I went into this race a little concerned that I hadn’t ridden since the last Tri State series over five weeks ago,” said Pipicello. “Thankfully there was no need for concern, the KTM ATV 505 SX performed awesome, and took me to the top of the podium in both the Expert and Vets class, and I also secured four holeshots throughout the event.

“I have been racing ATVs on and off since 1985, and my results have never been so good. I’m super happy with the mighty KTM ATV 505 SX, especially its corner handling, which gave me a competitive edge in all races.

“My results in the expert class were 1-1-2, and in the vets 1-1-3, which gave me the overall title for both classes at the event.

“I also raced in the manufacture’s cup with my team mate Chris Brenton, he took the holeshot with me in second. Unfortunately I tired due to 24 laps previously, and had a crash, pushing me further down the field, but Chris still won, and together we secured second overall in this class.”
