John Mitchell Crowned Champion
Saturday was a difficult day for John as he had a broken battery lead and he stalled in a corner in race one. He then had to get off and remove his seat to repair the lead and start it up again but still incredibly fought back to ninth . This gave the advantage to his rival, Suzuki’s Ricky Tordoff. The team worked rapidly to get John’s quad ready for race two and John repaid their hard work with an outstanding ride to finish in first place. He was now one point behind Tordoff and knew that the championship was wide open.

Sunday arrived and with it came the final round of the British Quad-X Championship. John Mitchell was ready for the challenge and put in an awesome performance on his ATV World Yamaha YFZ450 to win the first of the days two races. With the championship in his sights John commanded the second race and took another first place. With the three wins out of four over the weekend, John had done enough to win the British Quad-X Championship.

John said “I have now won every championship I entered this year and I can’t tell you how much it means to me to win the treble. I’ve trained hard both physically and mentally this season. I knew it would be demanding on both me and my ATV World Yamaha YFZ450 but I can’t fault its overall performance this season. The ATV World Yamaha team have been superb in development, testing and track side maintenance on my quad. Thanks to everybody involved, the team, race organisers and supporters, who have helped make all of this possible. See you again in 2008.”
