OFF-ROAD
AMA ENDUROCROSS SERIES
ROUND 2 / SEPTEMBER 15, 2018
ORANGE COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS/ COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA
P58
from the second heat race were
Ty Tremaine, Kyle Redmond,
Geoff Aaron, Ryan Wells and
Wally Palmer.
In the following bracket race
session, which takes the top four
riders from each heat race and
pits them head-to-head in run-off
races, the final boiled down to a
face off between the two top rac-
ers of the series: Webb and Haak-
er. The winner gets an extra point
toward the championship and first
gate pick for the evening's main
event. It was a close and exciting
bar-to-bar duel between the two
with Haaker taking the win, the
point and the first gate pick.
PACKED HOUSE
For the second consecutive race, the stands were
packed and excess spectators were relegated to
standing room only. The strong spectator turnouts and
exciting racing have created a great buzz among the
riders and fans as the series heads into round three
next week in Reno.
SUPPORT CLASSES
In the Amateur class, it was all David Kamo, as he took
the Open Amateur-class win. In Amateur B, Cole Wilton
enjoyed his first EnduroCross win followed by Nick Saia
and Ryan Gouveia. In the TrialsCross main event, Italy's
Emanuel Angius came away with the victory. Coleman
Johnson and Lior Ebiaz finished second and third,
respectively.
DISTRICT 37 CHALLENGE
After debuting as a "pilot program" at the Ontario sea-
son finale last year, the AMA District 37 Challenge was
brought back to EnduroCross. Once again, some of the
area's top amateur desert racers got a chance to race
under the lights in what is likely their shortest race of the
year. Tyler Smith took the win despite throwing his chain
during the race. Frederick Parr and Sam Capt filled the
podium in second and third, respectively.
Briefly...
Ty Tremaine definitely
proved that the
electric-powered Alta
Redshift motorcycle
is competitive in
EnduroCross by
placing fourth in the
main event.
