second on the day. A victory
by Pro National Hare & Hound
racer Ashlee Gage in the wom-
en's class made it a great day all
around for the Mojo Motorsport
Race Team, serving as a clear
testament to the caliber of the
Maloney Training Facility.
In grand tradition of the Los
Ancianos (Spanish for "the An-
cient Ones"), the club named a
grand marshal for the event; this
year being Destry Abbott, a for-
mer Tecate Enduro winner and
multi-time desert racing cham-
pion. In typical Abbott fashion,
they made it a family affair, with
Destry's daughter Kelsey lining
up for the women's class and
father, Boyd, along for support.
Destry flagged off all the racers
and then jumped his bike and
rode sweep.
"First loop was pretty good,"
Anson said of his winning ride.
"I got a dead-last start and had
to battle through the pack, so I
was lucky to finish right behind
Justin [Morgan], and I ended
up winning [the first loop]. Then
Dust was relentless through-
out the technical course, and
riders were limited to low gears
as they clawed their way through
to the finish line at Hacienda
Santa Veronica in El Hongo. The
first to claim the checkered flag
in just over four hours was Mojo
Motorsport Race Team's Anson
Maloney (KTM). Known for his
many ISDE appearances as well
as his self-run training facility
(Maloney Training Facility), Ma-
loney led his team to a 1-2 finish
with Anthony Ferrante claiming
