The addition of the East Coast rounds broad- ens the series reach to nearly every region of the country. Hosting the series final is the other new venue— Muscle Man Honda Circuit. The Ari- zona circuit boasts as one of the most challenging Supermoto tracks in the United States and will include large metal jumps and a paved motocross section for the finale. Also new for 2015 is an additional, but not a points paying round in Stur- gis, South Dakota to be held during the 75 th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally on August 1-2. STOVER/GARVIN TOP 6 HOURS OF GLEN HELEN M any of AMA District 37's finest lined up at Glen Helen for the second weekend in a row for the opening round of the track's 2015 Endurance Series. The first of three races (6 Hour, 10 Hour and 24 Hour) got started on March 8 with the John Burr Cycles 6 Hours of Glen Helen, where Nick Stover and Nic Garvin teamed up to take the overall win. The duo piloted their KTM 300 XC to the Open Expert win ahead of Charles Jirsa's Husqvarna-mounted team of Beau Baron and Mitch Anderson. In the "Family" class, Ryan Dudek teamed up with Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck. The odd couple had very differing lap times, but fin- ished top of their class and eighth overall. Nearly 70 teams took to the 9.5-mile course that included the track, ridges and steep hills of Glen Helen, and also included plenty of tight, fresh-cut single-track—cut by former Motocross Champion Gary Jones especially for the event. The next race of the Endurance Series is the 10 Hours of Glen Helen, which will take place on Sunday, June 15, the same week- end as the Prairie Dogs Last Dog Standing. The 10 Hour is slated to begin at midnight following the Last Dog Standing extreme race.
