Scott Burnworth's
Santa Claus GP
"S
anta Claus" came early
this year with lots of wet
dirt for the good boys and girls at
Vogt Ranch, who came out once
again for Scott Burnworth's 12th
Annual Santa Claus GP, Decem-
ber 7. The annual event, which is
more of a ride day than an actual
race, had lots of rain leading up
to it, leaving the Campo, Califor-
nia venue with a nice chocolate-
cake soak for a fun moto-holiday
of riding and racing.
Riders were treated to the two
tracks on the Vogt property, the
main track and the "off-road
track" which doubles as a side
x side course. Several races
took place during a midday
break on the off-road track,
where "Santa Claus" made some
guest appearances on Burn-
worth's #8 Suzuki. Participants
were also treated to a lunch buf-
fet as well as a BBQ dinner and
after party at the ranch house,

"We try to just have a fun ride
day where you can get a lot of
track time in so you're not waiting
all day to race," Burnworth ex-
plained. "We have a short period
in the middle of the day we do
some fun races because it seems
like everyone wants to do that too
but not wait around all day. It's a
fun day, not just all about racing."
