Somerset, PA - What an eventful weekend for team WMR/Nihilo Concepts/Clockwork/Planet Fitness KTM. After a long drive and late night team meeting in the parking lot of the hotel due to a mandatory evacuation due to a fire, we arrived at the scenic windmill filled race track.
WMR/Nihilo Concepts/Clockwork/Planet Fitness KTM XC1 Pro rider Nate Kanney had a decent 4th place start then on the first lap he had contact with Charlie Mullins falling back to 12th. After a hard charge, Nate got up to 4th during the fuel stop. Then he worked all the way up to 2nd on the last lap. It all came down to a spectacular finish with the top three all coming together with a half a mile to go. Nate fell down with two turns left trying to pass back Whibley. He got up with banners stuck in his rear wheel and ended up with a 4th place overall.
As for WMR/Nihilo Concepts/Clockwork/Planet Fitness/Fly Racing KTM Open A rider Chris Douglas, he had an awesome day! Chris started up front and was in the top 3 all day. He had a few issues where he stalled the bike and had problems re-starting and ended up falling back. He then put his head down and charged all the way to the finish, with an impressive first win in Open A, 13th overall and earning top amateur!
Overall it was a great weekend for team WMR/Nihilo Concepts/Clockwork/Planet Fitness KTM. The next race will be in 2 weeks in St. Clairsville, Ohio.
