Martin, Mees Lead AMSOIL Charge at AMSOIL Duluth National

Ross Martin opened the 2010-2011 AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series just like he ended last season by picking up podiums.

Martin, riding for Team AMSOIL out of the Judnick Motorsports trailer, picked up a pair of second place finishes at the AMSOIL Duluth National over the weekend. In a great race during Saturday's Pro Super Stock final, Martin battled for the first half of the race with TJ Gulla. Martin took over the lead at the races mid-point, but then dealt with lap-traffic and a hard charging Tucker Hibbert for the final five laps. Hibbert took the win, but Martin was right behind for second.

On Sunday, Martin got out front and look unstoppable during the AMSOIL Pro Open final. But once again lap-traffic and Hibbert were Martin's Achilles heal. Hibbert snagged the lead with less than two laps remaining, and Martin didn't have enough time to real him back in.
In semi-pro action, Team AMSOIL/Scheuring Speed Sports rider Darrin Mees has quickly adapted to his new. Mees also took a pair of podiums, finishing second on Saturday and third on Sunday in the Semi-Pro Super Stock division.

The ACSS heads to Fargo, N.D. on December 10-11 for the next round of racing. The ACSS will air on Versus starting December 19.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
