VURB Moto off road report http://vurboffroad.com/blogs/monday-hot-press/3096/ Ivan Ramirez Takes VCMC West Check Enduro Win [Photo: www.photosbygrumpy.com] Straight from taking the victory at Round 7 of the AMA/SRT National Hare and Hound Championship in Caliente, NV KTM/FMF backed Ivan Ramirez would surprise a lot of people by showing up at Round 6 of the AMA/SRT/FLEXX Western Checkpoint Enduro Championship at the Ranch in Anza, Ca. "I love the tighter enduro stuff, and this was almost EXACTLY like the Tecate Enduro. Which I love that area!" Ivan would also bring a slew of friends to battle with - Kyle Redmond, Quinn Cody, Brandon Brieto. They would all be on the minutes around each other and all keep comparing times throughout the day. Redmond would actually take a few test wins at the Qualifier Enduro hosted by Ventura County MC. "I really like the format. Kind of like a Sprint Enduro where you do the same tests a few times and can learn the section and pick up your times" In 3rd would be Purvines Racing's Nick Burson who would also make the trek from finishing 3rd at the National Hare and Hound. "I really like this place. Drove 7-hours just to race here and defend my local Enduro title." Burson would struggle on the first loop as he was breaking trail most of the day being on an early minute right behind reigning series champions Jordan Brandt who would take 5th. "The trails were so good but being the first one on them didn't help me" said Brandt as he would be pushing his way though the tight bushes most of the day on Row 1. FULL RESULTS HERE
