short on fuel, relinquishing sev-
eral minutes to the front runners
at the finish.
At the halfway point, the N4
team made a pass into the lead,
overtaking the N1 duo who ex-
changed riders and fuel earlier
than most. However, the N1 team
made their way back into the lead
the very next lap, never looking
back en-route to the checkers.
Day two started out very much
the same with the N1, N2 and
N4 bikes leading the way into a
treacherous, torn-up desert after
a full day of trophy truck and car
racing left scorched earth in their
wake. This time around, the N4
bike was first to the desert over
the N1 and N2 bikes. The top two
teams scrapped through the first
mile of desert, searching for any
smooth lines while desperately
vying for clean air at the front of
the field. Like Saturday, Hunter
was able to put the N1 Yamaha
up front and made dust, build-
ing up a gap over the first lap
and continuing to build through
the first half of the race. While
the N4 team held second early
on, lap two saw Newton make
his way past. When all was said
and done, the Hintz/Hunter
duo swept the weekend with 1-1
finishes, making for easy math.
Behind them, the N4 team of
Broderick/Reynolds finished 2-3,
but their lower overall time kept
them ahead of Jeremy Newton
on the N2 bike who scored 3-2
finishes.
Other notable finishers includ-
ed Eric Hallgath, infamous for
his 125cc desert racing prowess
in his time, riding solo to win the
50+ Expert class and overall
Expert for the weekend.
Kimberly Loppnow and Krista
Conway teamed up again to win
the Women's class. Joe Kidd
topped the Ironman Amateur and
Amateur Overall, handily winning
both each day.
