GEICO AMA ENDUROCROSS SERIES
ROUND 8 / NOVEMBER 7, 2015
FORD IDAHO CENTER / NAMPA, IDAHO
P74
The start didn't go well for Haaker.
He didn't have a premium gate pick,
and he was pushed wide into the
center lane of the course on the first
turn. As he re-joined the main line,
he clipped his footpeg on a border
log, sending him down immediately.
Alone, he re-mounted his Husqvarna
in dead last.
Webb continued his perfect night
for the first few laps. Brown and
Redmond battled back-and-forth
behind lap-after-lap with the fire-
wood pile being the major factor for
most of the front pack's momentum
shifts. It seemed if a racer cleaned
the woodpile, they had a fast lap. If
they didn't, they often lost a position.
Meanwhile, almost instantly, Haaker
by Abbott for third with two laps to go
and move straight to the main event
with Redmond and Graffunder.
Webb lined up on the first gate
inside to be in prime position for
the 180-degree first turn and was,
perfectly, first to the corner. Brown
quickly dove inside to pressure and
Webb gave in, letting Brown sneak
away with the Nexen Tire $500
Holeshot Award. Webb went to work
quickly and by the time the pack hit
the second straight, he put his KTM
in the lead and was airing out the
massive tire jump in the lead. Follow-
ing closely was a motivated pack of
Brown, Redmond and Graffunder.
Tremaine and Robert rounded out
the top-six out of the start lap.
(Top) Once
again, Taylor
Robert snuck
onto the
podium with
a third-place
finish.

Rachel Gutish
scored an
exciting
win in the
Women's
final.
