Scott takes a Win & LaVallee is Fan Favorite.


Longville, MN (March 20th, 2012) - Beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin was the final stop on the Amsoil Championship SnoCross Series for the 2011-2012 season. With temperatures reaching into the 80’s, fans where able to attend the races in shorts and T-shirts, instead the normal winter coats and boots. Due to the weather and lack of snow, the track was shorter than normal, but fortunately enough snow was preserved to maintain a competitive track and thousands of fans come out to watch the final races of the season.

Bobby LePage (Pro) had one of his strongest weekends of the season. LePage qualified for both finals and finishing a solid 9th place on Saturday afternoon in Pro Open Round 14. Out of the two-day event, Sunday was the day that LePage really shined. In round one of qualifying LePage took a 2nd and in round two, LePage came out swinging and won his heat race. Coming into the final race of the season, LePage was the 2nd qualifier. Off of the line and up the hill of the Pro Open final, LePage got tangled up with another rider in the first corner, which ultimately caused him to be towards the back of the pack, but still managed to finish a notable 13th place.



Jake Scott (Pro Lite) coming off of his 2nd place finish at ERX the previous weekend, Scott was hoping for a first place finish. Scott had amazing qualifying both Saturday and Sunday, with 4 points each day - Scott was able to skip both LCQ’s (last chance qualifier) and go straight into the final. In Saturday’s Pro Lite #1 Final, Scott was sitting in 4th place throughout the entire final, and with one lap to go, the race was red flagged due to a rider down. The race was re-started with one lap to go, and Scott ended up with a 5th place finish. On Sunday’s Pro Lite #2 Final, Scott was 2nd off the line and held that position throughout most of the race, until the leader went off of the track and Scott slid right in to the 1st place spot. Finishing his final race of the season with an exciting 1st place finish.



“Wow, what a season! First, thanks to all of the fans for voting me Fan Favorite! I do everything I can for my fans and it’s an honor to receive this award. Congrats to Jake and Bobby on this great season and I also wanted to send out a special thanks to the Team LaVallee crew and our awesome sponsors who have supported us this year. Couldn’t have done it without them!” states Levi LaVallee (co-owner to Team LaVallee).

Scott Takes Second at ERX National!


Longville, MN (March 13th, 2012) - EXR (Elk River Extreme Motorpark) in Elk River, Minnesota was the second to last stop on the Amsoil Championship SnoCross Series. With unseasonably warm weather and temperatures reaching into the 60’s, the two-day National had record breaking crowds and with snow being preserved throughout the winter, it was one of the biggest tracks we have seen all season.

Bobby LePage (Pro) started off the two-day event with great qualifying. LePage qualified 10th for the Pro Open final Friday night and coming off of the start of the final - LePage was looking awesome. A couple laps in into the 14 lap final LePage came to a dead stop on the track, finding a blown shock which ultimately ended the race for LePage. For the Saturday night final, LePage was riding strong and sitting mid-pack, coming from the back row. About half-way through the race, LePage had an unfortuate off, causing him to round out the weekend with a 13th place finish.



Jake Scott (Pro Lite) coming off of two podium finishes at the Fargo National the previous weekend, Scott took that same momentum into the ERX National and was able to make it back onto the podium. Scott had one of the strongest weekends yet this season, he took home 1st and 2nd place finishes in both qualifying rounds Friday and Saturday. In the final on Friday night, Scott had a great start, coming off of the line in 4th place out of the 15 rider final. With steady momentum and consistent lines, Scott ended up passing two other riders and finished the Friday night final with an outsanding 2nd place. Rounding out the weekend in the Saturday night final, Scott came off of the line a little late which caused him to be in the back of the pack. But that didn’t stop Scott, he was on the prowl and made his way up from 14th place to an awesome 6th place finish in Pro Lite #2 Saturday night.



“Hats off to Jake Scott for an incredible weekend. He is really riding strong and it’s exciting to see him get the results he has been working so hard for. I also want to say great job to ERX, the whole set-up was amazing; huge track and an even bigger crowd.” states Levi LaVallee (co-owner to Team LaVallee).

Scott Earns Podium Finishes at Fargo National!



Longville, MN (March 6th, 2012) - The Fargo National, held at BRRP (Buffalo River Race Park) in Glyndon, Minnesota was a new stop on the Amsoil Championship SnoCross Series and for Team LaVallee, one of the most memorable race weekends yet this season. It was a two-night event, held both Friday and Saturday and even with less than desirable weather conditions Friday night, it didn’t stop race fans from coming out and
cheering on their favorite rider.



Bobby LePage (Pro) started off the Fargo Nationals with great qualifying. LePage took a 2nd and 6th in round one and round two of Pro Open. Coming in a couple points shy of going directly to the final, LePage took 3rd place in the LCQ (last chance qualifier) and entered into the Friday night final, from the back row. Off of the line of the Pro Open final, LePage started towards the back, but worked his way up and maintained his position and ended with a notable 11th place finish. On Saturday, LePage had a tough day of racing, with scoring 5th in both of his qualifying rounds, LePage went to the LCQ and ended up just 3 position shy of making into the Pro Open final due to mechanical issues with his sled.

Jake Scott (Pro Lite) had one of his strongest race weekends this season. With phenomenal qualifying rounds, Scott was able to skip the LCQ’s and go straight into the finals. First, Friday night, Scott had an awesome hole-shot off of the line where he found himself rounding the first turn towards the front of the pack. With fast lap times and consistency, Scott finished with his first podium of the season, taking 3rd place. Saturday’s final, Scott came off of the line towards the back, but lap after lap, Scott rode strong and continued to pick off one rider at a time and he earned his way to another awesome 3rd place finish!



“I am super pumped on this weekends results. Jake rode awesome and ended up taking home two 3rd place trophies. There were a couple of mechanical issues for Bobby, but all of that will get straightened out for these next two final race weekends. I am excited to have another close-to-home race, in Elk River, MN this weekend.” states Levi LaVallee (co-owner to Team LaVallee).
