T
he top sprint racers in the country
went head-to-head at the Caro-
lina Adventure World U.S. Sprint
Enduro and three-day ISDE East Coast
Qualifier, which were held in conjunction
with each other in Winnsboro, South
Carolina. Racers competed in the U.S.
Sprint Enduro Series round three, while
Letter of Intent (LOI) riders attempted to
qualify for this year's International Six
Day Enduro, which this year will be held
in San Juan, Argentina, November 6-11.
The Trophy riders who will eventually
compete at Six Days aren't required to
qualify since they are picked on merit,
but the event proved a great training
event for the top hopefuls who
attended. Saturday and Sunday served
as round three of the U.S. Sprint Enduro
Series, while all three days (adding in
Monday's competition) counted as the
eastern round of the AMA ISDE Quali
-
fier Series. The two events were scored
separately, although series regulars and
Letter of Intent (LOI) riders could ride
both events.
FMF/KTM's Johnny Girroir edged
out Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's Craig
DeLong by seven seconds for the overall
win for Saturday and Sunday's round of
the Sprint Series (as of this writing, the
Qualifier portion was still being played
out) in very slippery conditions, as rain
on Friday and Saturday left the course
in rugged condition, forcing several re-
routes during the weekend.
