500 official starters, the Silver
Kings Hard Enduro had a mas-
sive turnout, including a talented
Women's Pro class, where San-
dra Gomez took an impressive
win in front of Katie Hall-Leah
and Melissa Harten, despite be-
ing assessed a one-hour penalty
over the duration of the race.
The weekend also had a
packed schedule, including a
Street Rhythm Endurocross-style
bracket race where Rockstar
Husqvarna's Colton Haaker took
the win, again.
Using a unique race format of
a prologue plus two full days of
racing—and the Street Rhythm
Endurocross-style bracket race,
with the race days' times com
-
bining for an overall result, Silver
Kings was a hard-enduro rally in
a sense. Three unique courses
were set up each day and all
Bronze course racers (B and C
classes, and Women's non-pro)
raced two three-lap, three-hour-
limit races. Silver and Gold
course racers (Pro and A classes,
and Women's Pro) raced a three-
lap, three-hour race on
Friday and were sup
-
posed to race a three-
lap, four-hour race on
Saturday.
The 2024 event was
also unique for being
the first race in North
America to use the My
Race Result scoring
system—the same live
tracking and scoring
system used by the
biggest European races,
such as the Erzbergro
-
deo in Austria and the
FIM-sanctioned series
races. With live timing
in the app, racers had
quick access to results,
and penalties were
quickly assessed to
those who missed parts
of the course. But the
race wasn't without its
fair share of confusion,
as officials unexpect
-
edly extended the Saturday race
to five hours, leaving more than a
few racers confused on course.
In the end, Silver Kings finisher
medals were awarded to three
Gold course racers, 110 A/Wom-
en's Pro Silver course racers, and
139 Bronze course racers.
