Pro Open Results... Four Stroke thunder filled the skies in West Yellowstone, Montana, where Yamaha Factory Snocross rider Steve Taylor brought his FXNytro to a solid fourth in the Pro Open event at round three of the WPSA National Series.
With strong runs in his qualifier races, Steve Taylor was confident going into the main event. “I had a third, a second, and a fifth which put me right to the front row in the main, so qualifying went pretty good!” he tells. “I holeshot one qualifier yesterday, and was top three on the start in the rest of the Qualifiers. We’ve got the suspension working much better this week too, so everything was great.” In the main event Taylor charged his way to a well deserved fourth place in Pro Open.
Taylor is also looking forward to next weekend. “We needed this confidence boost,” says Taylor. “We are taking off for the X games and should be there tomorrow afternoon. We practice Wednesday and Thursday. I’m very confident going into the X games and we have been doing a lot of practice on that style of track. Our motor is so strong and the machines are handling well that I know we’ll accomplish something!”

Semi-Pro Results... Cory Davis brought his FXNytro to 13th in the Semi-Pro Open competition. The team had been busy testing during the week and was well prepared for the race. “We spent quite a lot of time this week getting the sleds dialed in and our practice time on the track really helped,” says Cory Davis. That effort paid off for Davis in his Qualifiers too. He describes “I went 5-6-4 and that was enough to make it to the LCQ. There I got the holeshot and led the first lap. We had to get top five and I let a couple guys get around me and just settled back and cruised in third to get to the main.”
Davis is now looking forward to next weekend. “I’m really pumped about the X games. I’ve gone from not being sure if I’d be racing at “X” to being in Speed and Style event for sure and an alternate for sno-cross, so I’m excited about that.”
