Aaron Perfect at Pennsylvania National Trials
Kit Palmer | June 23, 2003
Geoff Aaron won both rounds (seven and eight) of the AMA/NATC Ryan Young Products Observed Trial Series in Farrandsville, Pennsylvania, June 21-22. The Gas Gas rider extended his series lead despite extremely wet and slippery conditions.
On Saturday, Aaron took the win followed by fellow Gas Gas riders Wilson Craig and Ryon Bell. Fourth went to Sherco’s David Chaves, while fifth went to Montesa’s Chris Florin.
On Sunday, Aaron again took the win, but this time Bell and Craig traded positions, with Bell taking second and Craig third. Florin and Chaves also swapped places with Florin taking fourth and Shaves fifth.
Aaron went into the Pennsylvania rounds tied with six-time Trials National Champion Ryan Young for the all-time win record with 50, but Aaron broke the record with his 51st and 52nd victories. Aaron and Young are also tied (at six) for the most National titles.
