Full Gas Sprint Enduro Championship

H
ooper Media, LLC, the
parent company of the Full
Gas Sprint Enduro Series, says
that 2020 was the final season
of the series. The company has
no plans to continue promoting
the off-road racing series in the
future.
The Full Gas Sprint Enduro
Series introduced a new format
of racing to the USA in 2014 in a
one-off event that was attended by
the top ISDE riders in America and
was a smashing success. Be-
cause of that success, a five-round
series was scheduled in 2015 with
successive eight-round champion-
ship series in 2016-2020.
The Full Gas rounds served
as club team ISDE qualifiers
every year since 2015, which
culminated with Trophy and
Women's Team wins in 2019. The
series founders said it is proud
to have played a small part in
that massive accomplishment by
providing a series for riders to
sharpen their special test skills,
something that wasn't available
anywhere else in the USA at the
time.
"This wasn't an easy decision
to make by any stretch," said se-
ries founder Jason Hooper. "The
series has grown beyond any-
thing we could've expected when
we did our first one-off event
back in 2014. Promoting this
type of event requires an incred-
ible amount of work that we've
always tackled with a small but
mighty crew, but that work and
stress has taken its toll, culminat-
ing at this point where no longer
promoting the series is the right
move for my family and myself."
The Full Gas Series and its
founders would like to thank all
of the riders who participated in
the series over the last six years
as well as series sponsors, both
past and current, as well as the
many workers who helped put on
the events. CN
The Full Gas Sprint
Enduro Championship,
which served as
qualifiers for the ISDE, is
no longer in business.
