There were over 100 teams lined up for the mass start of the 120 mile desert night race.Saw a few Huskys out there here are a few unofficial overall results 1 Justin Imhof ironmaned it on a KTM 250 2 stroke 2 Kendal Norman /Johnny Cambell Team Honda Factory 450x 3 Barbec /Vanderberg Honda 450x 4 Nic Burson/ Matt Henderson Factory HUSKY 510 5 Brent Farrell/Charlie McBerney HUSKY WR 250 12th overall at least that is what they told us Cameron Kearney/John Kearney HUSKY CR 125 I teamed up with my 19 year old son so i had to race with the kids in the regular 125 expert class.It was a mass start lemans style every one had to run to there bikes and take off all together.The kids gets a great start 5th to the bomb and at the first rider change he brings the little 125 to me in 5th overall.Wow no pressure there knowing i was the weak link .Anyway we raced all night and switched riders every lap The bike and the lights worked great and we finished about 1.30 am We were told we got 3 rd in the 125 expert class first 2 were KTMs 200 But to be told 12th overall was just super
I gotta agree. Years ago I was in an enduro where I got first in my class and I managed to get 8th overall. Which do you think I liked better?
Dude you are too old for that class ! You gotta give those kids a chance! Great job Team KHR*!! another booster, you guys are the most successful CR125 Husky in the USA! *Kearney Husqvarna Racing PS been training hard for the fall WHS and H&H rounds MX/XC Alt+Heat cycles see you there.
53 and still having fun you should have seen my face when the kid shows up running 5th overall.I was not ready still did not have my helmet on .Remember this is from a bike that most people told me could not power up night racing lights.I also just purchased a Wr 250 so if both kids want to race they will not be in the same class.The older boy is still leading in the AMA National Hare and Hounds 125 expert class Next year you really need to try these night races ,your bike already has a big stator output so all you need is lights
I'm always glad to see racers over 50 still mixing it up good! I wish that I were able to be one of them, but I let a little too much time go by without competing or staying in shape, so my hat's off to you.
Update New results just posted and we are now listed as 10th overall There were 86 teams that started and ONLY 35 that finished .What more can you say other then the Husky 125 is a great bike and in the last 4 years i have never had a DNF Special thanks to my young team mate as this is my best ever overall at a desert race
