Anderson Honored With Patrick Koether
Memorial Sportsmanship Award
T
he National Enduro Promot-
ers Group honored Timothy
Anderson with the 2020 Pat-
rick Koether Memorial Sports-
manship Award presented by
Rekluse Motorsports. The award
acknowledges individuals who
go above and beyond in helping
out their fellow riders.
"Tim was nominated for the
award for going above and
beyond to help out his fellow rid-
ers," said the NEPG in a release.
"Tim and his team is who you
will see installing Kenda Tires
and tubes all weekend long at
all NEPG events. He also came
up with the idea to have Kenda
Tubes and tools on the gas trail-
ers at events to help fellow riders
if they get a flat tire to have the
equipment to fix it and continue
on their race. Tim is known to go
out of his way to make sure that
a downed rider makes it out of
the woods safely, even if it was
to mean he sacrificed his own
race. Tim will give any person
at the event his attention to talk
anything and everything about
racing. He loves the sport and
will never say anything negative
about a fellow rider or product.
"We had several nominations
for the Patrick Koether award,
which just goes to show you how
many good people we have in
our sport just like Patrick was.
It was not easy to come up with
just one winner for the award,
but after a lot of consideration,
a moment at the final round in
Texas gave Tim the push as
the 2020 winner. NEPG boss
Alan Randt was at a checkpoint
during the race where Tim had
stopped to let Alan know about
a broke down rider on the trail,
after many riders had passed by
without saying a word. Tim let
Alan know the rider was okay
and pinpointed to what mile
marker the rider was at. This
allowed for the club and NEPG
to get to the rider and assist
with them getting off the course
quickly after we were made
known of the situation." CN
Racers of the National Enduro
circuit all know Timothy Anderson
who was honored with the 2020
NEPG Patrick Koether award.
