ABA Silver Dollar Nationals Reno, NV January 10 &11

Double A Marketing riders rule Reno!

The ABA 2004 Pro season kicked off this past weekend with the Silver Dollar Nationals, held in the Reno Events center. With a new season upon us, and a lot of sponsorship changes, a lot of riders were ready to go out and show off their new colors and sponsors, as well as that they are ready for the 2004 season. It seemed like the riders best prepared for the new season were the Double A Marketing riders, as they were the fastest Pros in Reno, taking home 4 of the 6 Pro wins for the weekend. Here is how the Double A Marketing riders finished up for the weekend-

Dale Holmes rode the Reno track with unbelievable speed this weekend, as he was one of the fastest riders out on the track. On Saturday, it was all Dale's day in AA, as he won the first AA Pro race of the 2004 season. This was especially sweet for Dale, as 10 years ago at the ABA opener in Reno, Dale won the AA Pro class. Shows how the "older" Pros has what it takes to still keep on winning! On Sunday, Dale was once again in the AA Pro main, this time placing 5th, but still amazed the crowd with a 2nd place in Pro Open. Looks like another great season for Dale.

Kyle Bennett debut his new Free Agent colors on Saturday and took his Free Agent Limo into the AA Pro main. A crash held him back to 7th for the day, but didn't keep him down long. On Sunday, after being energized by his team mates AA win on Saturday, Kyle took top honors in AA on Sunday, bring home Free Agent a lock on the AA Class this weekend. It looks like it didn't take any time for Kyle to take his new bike to the top spot of the ABA podium.

Sunday was a different story, as Stumpy took home a huge win the Pro Cruiser class, his first for his new sponsor.
