Hendersonville, North Carolina: ATV racer Harold Goodman took his Honda to the Extreme Dirt Track Pro Lites Championship, after winning five rounds of the six-race series on his quad fitted with Öhlins TTX shocks. And, Goodman backed up this championship by earning second place the Extreme Dirt Track Pro Championship, with three wins in that class.
Goodman said, “It’s harder to tune an ATV as compared to a motorcycle. On a bike you only have 4 inches of track to worry about, but an ATV forces you to tune for 50-inches of track, and two contact patches. Öhlins USA built me a set of shocks for the dealer show, I put them on my ‘bike’ and won. I had never used them until I went out and won on them.”
As a privateer racing against Factory teams in the ATV MX Series, Harold Goodman has been mixing it up with the top riders. Goodman took his Team Harold Goodman ATV to 11th overall in the 2009 AMA PRO ATV MX Championship, finishing the season a mere 4 points from the coveted top ten. All season long Goodman scored points in every race, with a best finish of sixth at the Muddy Creek National. Goodman was also recorded with the second-fastest time at Red Bud, Michigan, in the Sunday morning qualifying session. Goodman said, “I pulled five holeshots this year. I get out front and I try not work my way too far back.”
Öhins USA congratulates Goodman on his championship season.
