Tight trail conditions greeted riders at Round 7 of the OMA Nationals series held near Council Bluffs, Iowa over the weekend, and Maxxis/KLIM/DirtWise KTM team rider Jason Thomas finished a solid 3rd place in the Pro class.

Thomas was disappointed with his race result, saying, “I got an okay start and then I moved forward toward the front and rode with Whibs for the first few laps, until he roosted up a log that hit smack dab right on the clutch hose and snapped it off. If I didn’t have bad luck I wouldn’t have had any luck at all this year! I was looking forward to having a great battle with Paul for the victory but this issue relegated me back to 3rd place at the end as I cruised along for the last five laps in the tight, rutted trails without any clutch.”

Meanwhile DirtWise/SRT products support rider Mark Heresco continued his fine 2014 form with another commanding victory in the Pro 2 class, and an impressive 4th Overall at the finish.

1st – Paul Whibley

2nd – Adam Bonneur

3rd – Jason Thomas

4th – Mark Heresco

The next racing commitment for the Maxxis/KLIM/DirtWise KTM Race team will see Jason Thomas and Jesse Groemm competing in Rd. 12 of the GNCC series this coming weekend at St. Clairsville, OH.
