Haaker Kicks off 2020 EnduroCross Series with Back to Back Wins T he 2020 AMA EnduroCross series kicked off at Glen Hel- en Raceway, in San Bernardino, California, October 23-24, with round one taking place on Friday and round two on Saturday. Each afternoon event included three motos of racing for the pro class and Rockstar Energy Husqvar- na's Colton Haaker kicked off the season with two big wins. The defending champion took 1-3-1 moto scores on Friday and followed that up with 3-1-1 finishes on Saturday. Cody Webb made his Enduro- Cross debut on the FactoryOne Sherco SEF 300 and finished second overall on Friday with 2-2-2 moto finishes and third overall on Sunday with a 2-2-3 score. The finishes combined for second overall in the points at the end of the weekend. Webb had planned to race a two-stroke but chose to switch to the 300 four-stroke just a couple of weeks before the event, so he was still improving the bike through the weekend. Trystan Hart, the rider that took over Webb's spot on the FMF KTM Factory Racing team, fin- ished fourth on Friday after post- ing 3-8-3 moto finishes and came back strong with a second on Saturday with 1-4-2 moto results. Hart set the fastest hot-lap time on both Friday and Saturday and combined that with a Saturday moto win to show that he is ready to challenge Haaker and Webb for overall wins. Cooper Abbott, the son of multi-time off-road champion IN THE WIND P44 Colton Haaker had a perfect weekend with two wins to kick off the 2020 AMA EnduroCross Championship.
