Vintage 250 Open, Post-Vintage
125 and Post Vintage 250 Open.
"We had a great turnout for
the Inaugural Gary Jones YZ GP,"
remarked Burnworth. "All in we
had 40 entries across the four
classes, which is great to see.
It was an honor to have Gary
out there. He had some tough
competition, but cool to see him
come away with the win!"
Jones went 2-1 for the Vintage
250 Open-class win. The only
one to best him being his own
kin, Justin Jones who topped
the first moto. Justin got a taste
of motocross the way dear-old-
dad experienced it, commenting
simply, "this YZ360 rips!"
Other notable entries included
Yamaha stalwart Doug Dubach,
and of course, Scott Burnworth
himself. Burner helped himself
to the Revolution 125 Expert
class win with a 1-1. Dubach
handily took win in the first the
Modern 450 Expert class.
A surprise entry came from
former Supercross pro Adam
Enticknap. The "7-deuce-deuce"
lined up on a Noleen J6-built
1981 Maico 490 in Evolution
250/500 Expert, 500cc Cup
Expert (81 & older) and the
Post-Vintage Meister Cup Expert
classes and swept both motos
in all three divisions.
The SoCal Vintage MX Fall
Classic also included the Dual
Sport Open class, sponsored
by C&D Cycle, and the "Burnie
Burnworth" memorial mini team
race.
Burnworth plans to continue
hosting more SoCal Vintage
Classics, the next to come in the
spring. Follow SoCal Vintage MX
Classic on Instagram for more
