Webb Wins IRC Endurofest
T
he IRC Endurofest, presented
by Sky Fiber Internet, hosted
the AMA Nevada Extreme Off-
Road Championship Saturday,
May 4, in Sparks, Nevada. The
one-day event consisted of a
three-race format for the ama-
teurs and pros fighting for the
$10,000 purse, and two races
for youth riders just getting into
the sport.
The morning race, the Baka
Hard Enduro, was a 2.6-mile
course that challenged all of the
competitors as they had to climb
steep, rocky hills and descend
down loose grades. Cody
Webb took the win of that
race, completing four laps
in the 1.5-hour minimum
time limit.
Trystan Hart, Max Ger-
ston and Mitch Carvolth
completed three laps in
that time limit. In the words
of Webb: "I have never had
to use first gear so much in
a race before."
James Flynn won the
amateur class for the
Baka, being the only ama-
teur completing two laps.
In the afternoon, as-
piring extreme off-road
riders under the age of 16,
competed in the American
Junior Hard Enduro. With
15 youth riders in the Mini,
Supermini and Schoolboy
classes, they showed major po-
tential that this sport has a bright
future of talented young off-road
riders rising through the ranks.
In between the kid's races, the
Pros competed in two, 20-minute
Extreme motos in the arena of
the Wild West Motorsports Park.
Good battles and tough ob-
stacles provided great spectating
for the crowd in the bleachers.
Webb took both wins, with Hart,
Ty Tremaine and Gerston battling
for the podium spots.
With points being totaled like
AMA motocross, Webb took the
overall win and the AMA Nevada
Extreme Off-Road Champion-
ship. Hart and Gerston finished
second and third, respectively.
In the Amateur class, James
Flynn won and finished eighth
overall amongst the Pros. Dayne
Tony was the only woman com-
petitor of the day. Ruffin Dod-
son won the Mini class, Ryder
Thomaselli won the Supermini
class and Angus Riordan won the
Schoolboy class in the American
Junior Hard Enduro. CN
Cody Webb took
the overall win at
the IRC Endurofest
in Sparks, Nevada.
