A
record turnout for the 49th running of the
Thor Mini O's packed the Gatorback Cycle
Ranch in Gainesville, Florida, which forced
organizers to extend racing an extra day to get
all of the motos in. And through it all, a number
of champions were crowned, including the top
Minicycle and A-class riders. Casey Cochran, of
Clermont, Florida, emerged as the top Minicycle
rider and Levi Kitchen, of Washougal, Washington,
rose to the top of the Pro ranks.
Cochran, a privateer riding GasGas machinery,
went home with two of some of the week's most
prestigious awards, the Thor Bronze Boot Award
and the Pro Circuit Platinum Pipe Award.
The Thor Bronze Boot Award is given to the
rider in the 65cc, 85cc, Mini Sr., Supermini and
Schoolboy classes that accumulates the high-
est number of points in the supercross main and
motocross overall combined, and the Pro Circuit
Platinum Pipe Award is given to the rider who
accumulates the highest number of points in the
supercross main and motocross overall combined.
In total, Cochran took six Championships:
