Thor Riders Weather the Storm at the Thor Lake Whitney Spring Classic

Lake Whitney, TX (March 17, 2009) - After several days of rain, the showers finally subsided and the riders of the Thor Amateur Program weathered the storm to capture twenty-six podium positions including ten championships at the 2009 Thor Lake Whitney Spring Classic, held at Lake Whitney MX, this past weekend.

Xtreme Team Green rider, Dean Wilson, made his highly anticipated A class debut on the amateur national circuit at the Lake Whiney Spring Classic. Wilson, despite missing the Winter Olympics last November due to a broken femur, had a very successful Intermediate season in 2008. Dean proved that he hadn’t missed a beat by coming to Texas and winning three titles.

“I went into Lake Whitney pretty confident, knowing I would be one of the front runners” explained Wilson “I met my expectations but I could have done better. I ran into some bad luck that was out of my control; but that’s racing.”
