Cory Graffunder won the qualifier easily. Nick stopped on his first lap to help his friend Mat Henderson who was stuck in the mud. They weren't able to get the bike out. Nick continued and on his second lap while in the top ten on steep up hill that was clogged with rider Nick tried to create another line and near the top looped out his bike. When he went to pick up his bike the bars were busted. Unable to continued Nick helped Mat get his bike unstuck. It took two come-a-longs. Nick said it was pouring rain.
I've been trying to find any tidbits on the race so thanks for the updates! I can't wait to hear more.
not a fun place to be when its wet...its a very dry place usually predictable The area is very arid desert sand/clay type substrate...but we have had an odd year for excessive rainfall....when too much moisture is on the ground it turns to something like quicksand.....and its a horrible slippery goo...it will stop a bike dead in its tracks first time I rode there after a heavy rain.....I tried to wheelie through a rut with some muck in the bottom....it was like I hit a wall
Check out www.offroadmotorcycles.ca for some video and pics. The site will be updated again on Monday am.
another update Cory wins on his Husky TC250. Weather improved and the course got easier to get around. Although mud holes took their toll on many racers.
Erzberg The Tough One Romaniacs Roof of Africa Last Man Standing Hell's Gate ...and now Xtinction (very cool) I love watching all the extreme enduros including the US Endurocross more than Supercross. Trials is right up there as well.
