laps, about two minutes behind
the third-place team. The NAP/
XC Gear 30+ team consisted of
Sammy Dorris, Jacob Patterson,
Jason Thomas, Dustin Simpson
and Trevor Ezell.
"Jason got us into a big lead
off the start and we moved into
second overall," Dorris said. "We
stayed second and third for most
of the race but come nighttime we
had a few mishaps. We tried to
chase down third, but they got us
by a few minutes. It was a good
race."
Rounding out the top five
was Team MyPowersports.com
Expert with riders Tommy Hill,
Joey Medina, Kyle Parson, Luke
Parsons and JP Wilson. Finish
-
ing 34 laps they also won the
Expert class. They rode one bike,
a GasGas 350.
"We had a bit of adversity dur
-
ing the race, and the guys had to
put in some tough laps," Medina
said. "Riding one bike created
some issues. We had a few light
issues, but nothing big. Our entire
team worked hard and we couldn't
have had a better group of guys."
It's worth noting that NAP/XC
gear and MyPowersports.com had
two teams each in the top five.
In the ironman class, Matt
Brasher, on a 501 Husqvarna,
followed up his win last year with
one this year. He finished 23 laps
to take the win.
"The race went pretty good,"
Brasher said. "I started out trying
not to push too hard and moved
out front trying to avoid the dust.
The longer course made me
change things up a bit. I did four
sets of four laps, then dropped
it down to two sets of three then
one lap."
Leon Fox, of Team Foxin'
Around, also finished 23 laps for
second place.
Caroline Kent, of Team the
Tortoise and the Hare Scramble,
