We're not going to give up and
hopefully I can make the whole
season next year."
In Pro 2, Tallon Lafountaine
won his second consecutive
race on his Husqvarna. After
starting the season seemingly
on a bet, he finished strong and
beat out Austin Serpa for the
victory. Mitch Anderson was third
on his KTM and clinched the
championship.
"I sprinted pretty hard for the
first two laps, but then I took a
pretty decent spill," said Lafoun-
taine. "I got up, went hard, and
blew off the track again. I decid-
ed to settle down and I just kept
it there. Austin and Mitch were
really close so it was tough right
until the end."
Serpa put some of his recent
bad luck behind him and got
back on the podium. Serpa won
two races late in the season,
but a fourth and then a DNF in
the last two races sidelined his
championship hopes.
"I haven't seen the podium
since June so I'm stoked on my
finish," said Serpa. "I finished
second in points."
Anderson finished out the
season the same way he started
it: with consistency. Riding his
KTM, Anderson finished on the
podium at all eight races this
season and scored one victory to
snag the title. He plans to move
up to Pro next season.
"This is the biggest champion-
ship I've ever won," said Ander-
son. "It's like graduation day
because I'm moving up to the big
class next year. This is only the
beginning. We have a lot of work
ahead of us."
In Pro 2 Lights, Mateo Oliveira
won his first race of the season.
Riding a KTM, Oliveira beat out
Preston Campbell and Tyler
Nicholson for the win. Canadian
Spenser Wilton finished seventh
and clinched the championship.
"I tried to just take smooth
lines and stay on the small
chop," said Oliveira. "I just kept
my Maxxis Tires to the floor.
The rough conditions suited my
style."
Wilton won two races this sea-
son and scored three additional
podiums. Riding for RPM KTM,
Wilton rode super conservatively
to protect his championship and
came out atop the points at the
end. Wilton races out of Calgary,
Alberta.
"I still have one more Enduro-
Cross race, so I wanted to play it
safe and wrap up the champion-
ship," said Wilton. "This is my
first American championship,
being from Canada."
The motorcycle classes will
compete on moto-only weekends
next season with a $10,000 Pro
purse. The series kicks off Janu-
ary 11-13 at Buffalo Bill's Resort
and Casino in Primm, NV.
