P36
Virginia National
Enduro Canceled
T
he Dragon's Back National Enduro scheduled
for May 12 in Arrington, Virginia, has been can-
celed, according to the National Enduro Promotions
Group (NEPG).
According to the April Fools Promotors, unexpect-
ed land issues forced the cancelation of the event.
As a result, the NEPG has added another round
to the 2019 schedule. The Perry Mountain Motor-
cycle Club in Stanton, Alabama, will replace the
Dragon's Back National Enduro with its Gobbler
Getter National Enduro on November 2, 2019. CN
Michael Dunlop
Confirmed For Pikes Peak
M
ichael Dunlop has been confirmed on the entry list for the
2019 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
The Northern Irishman, who currently holds third place on the
all-time Isle of Man TT winner's list with 18 victories on the Moun-
tain Course, will pilot a BMW S 1000 R as a teammate to Ger-
man Lucy Glockner, who sensationally clocked a 10:21.932 on
her rookie debut at the mountain last year. Dunlop and Glockner
will be a part of the team, Wunderlich Motorsport powered by
ProKASRO.
The move to a June 30 race day, one week later than usual,
has allowed TT racer Dunlop's schedule to open up as the finish
to the Isle of Man TT has traditionally been too close to Pikes
Peak time to allow for a competitive entry.
All eyes will be on Dunlop as he attempts to not just win on
his debut but also challenge Chris Fillmore's 2017 race record
of 9:49.625. The 2019 race looks set to be one of the fastest
on record with the Heavyweight field stacked with competitive
entries. Cycle News' Rennie Scaysbrook will return for his fourth
attempt at the Pikes Peak crown, switching from KTM to Aprilia
machinery. Cory West will pilot a Zero SF/R, Carlin Dunne will
return on an Exhibition Class Ducati and Codie Vahsholtz will
once again pilot a Ducati Multistrada MTS1200 Pikes Peak edi-
tion at the iconic event. CN
Michael Dunlop
at Pikes Peak will
be an incredible
sight come June
this year.
