Tight trail conditions greeted riders at Round 7 of the OMA Nationals series held near Council Bluffs, Iowa over the weekend where 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 ok 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."
