Wolfson Wins AMA MotoClimb Championship
T
he inaugural Four Corners Mo-
toClimb was at the Purgatory
Ski Resort in Durango, Colorado,
August 31-September 1, and
was the final round of the AMA
CFMoto MotoClimb Super Series,
presented by Hi-Tech Motor-
sports. This race has been one of
the main attractions at the Four
Corners Motorcycle Rally for sev
-
eral years, which is emerging as
one of the more popular motor-
cycle rallies in the USA. A couple
classes for baggers, choppers
and dual sports were a crowd
favorite, making it an entertaining
afternoon for the thousands that
flocked to Purgatory.
Jon Wolfson was going into
the final round with a sizable
points lead in the overall stand
-
ings along with several class
championships and continued
his momentum in Colorado. The
Pro Mod class kicked off the
race day around noon, on a hill
that had a lot of speed with a
steep ending toward the finish
line.
Tristan Alexander won the
Pro Mod class on his Husqvarna
FC490 with a 16.666-second
ride. In the Pro Stock class, Wolf
-
son and his Honda CRF450R
beat out a couple Stark Vargs
and a charging Alexander with a
15.108-second pass. In between
these classes, the Four Cor-
ners Motorcycle Rally hosted
the Open Hooligan and a Run
What Ya Brung classes, which
featured a diverse collection
of bikes—including a Honda
CT110, a Yamaha Tenere 700,
a Kawasaki KLR200, a Harley-
Davidson Sportster, and even a
Honda Gold Wing—all trying to
make it over the top. One racer,
Cody Hartsock, tried it on his
Harley-Davidson bagger for two
runs, losing his seat in the first
run and losing his front fairing in
the second, and the crowd was
going crazy.
