Webb Wins Donner AMA West
Hard Enduro Finale
T
he Donner Hard Enduro was
originally scheduled to take
place in June but was resched-
uled to the weekend of Septem-
ber 16-17 due to 800-plus inches
of snow clobbering the Donner
Ski Resort in Norden, California
this past winter. The promoter,
Brian Garrahan, integrated the
Hard Enduro into a full weekend
of racing events, called the Don
-
ner Challenge. This included a
Motoclimb race, an AMA District
36 Hare Scramble, in addition to
the final round of the AMA West
Hard Enduro Series, Presented
by Beta.
The Saturday Hare Scramble
was the qualifying race for the
Donner Hard Enduro, mixing
racers of both disciplines and
providing more track time for
the amateur hard enduro rac
-
ers. In the hare scramble race,
FactoryONE Sherco's Cody
Webb pulled away with the lead
with ISDE gold medalist Anson
Maloney trailing not too far
behind. Rockstar Husqvarna's
Ryder LeBlond was in third the
first couple of laps but eventually
passed Anson to take second.
Beta USA's Danny Lewis and IRC
Tire's James Flynn rounded out
the top five.
The Saturday qualifier deter
-
mined the row position for all
classes of Sunday's main hard
enduro race, which was not time-
corrected.
Being that this was the final
round of the AMA West Hard
WIND
IN THE
P54
After 3.5 hours of
racing at the Donner
Ski Resort, Cody Webb
came out on top aboard
his FactoryONE Sherco.
