From the Western Star:
Jon Patten claims King of the Bumps crown at Race on the Rock
Section: Sports
By Chris Noseworthy,
It may not be his birthday but Jon Patten is still the King of the Bumps.
Corner Brook's Patten and his 800 cc modified Ski-doo tore up the sno-cross circuit here at Marble Mountain Sunday to earn the distinction.
King of the Bumps is the title given to the racer who wins the Open category, a field with no restriction on the size of modification of the sled.
The weather was decidedly beautiful Sunday, but the warm temperature made the course soft and a little difficult to maneuver. according to the newly crowned king.
"It was a rough course in the end," Patten told The Western Star. " It took a lot of gumption to get going."
Patten said he rides frequently, but this event is special to him.
"I spend a lot of time on a snowmobile, that's all," he said. "It is really nice to be out there riding with all the guys, all your friends. That is what is nice about being here. It's nice to look over and see your buddies racing against you."
To the uninitiated it may seem like snowmobile racing is a simple as pinning the throttle open and trying to hang on. This, however, is far from the case. Patten, who has won division races in previous years, but his first King of the Bumps race this year, said that one of the keys to winning an event like this is endurance.
"You have to be in shape," he said. "It gets pretty tiring." Patten described a condition he called arm pump where the muscles in your forearm start to lock up from the constant pounding through the bumpy course.
"You can almost fall off," he warned.
Second place in the Open category went to Will Raymond (Polaris) and Dave White (Ski-doo) completed the 10 laps and nabbed third place.
In the up to 600 cc class, MJ Thompson (Ski-doo) won the day, while Jeff Holwell (Ski-doo) took second and Richard English (Polaris) finished third.
Scott Newell charged to victory with his Yamaha in the up to 500 cc class, while Kyle Knott (Yamaha) was second and Terry Rose (Polaris) was third.
In the up to 440 cc class, Will Raymond (Polaris) won the honours while Cory Endicott (Polaris) placed second and Scott Newell finished third.
For the women, MJ Thompson crossed the line first ahead of Danica Ellis (Ski-doo).
Rick O'Brien (Ski-doo) won the Masters event over Dan Barnhill and his Ski-doo.
MJ Thompson won her third top prize for the Amateur division, while Cory Endicott place second and Richard English was third.
On Saturday, the Race on the Rock opened with the uphill drag competition.
In the open class, Kevin Ogley claimed the King of the Hill title with his Skidoo, while Michael Rouzes (Yamaha) finished in second place and Gord MacDonald (Skidoo) finished third.
Rouzes won the Pro Stocker division, while Jeff MacDonald (Skidoo) came second and Bill Crummey (Skidoo) finished third.
In the A+ 1000 Liquid/Improved division, MacDonald beat the field, while fellow Ski-doo riders Wallace Crummey and April Leamon finished second and third respectively.
