the whole race, as Trystan was
pressuring me the whole race
and that kept me moving for-
ward. Coming into the last lap,
Redmond took the No Joke lane
and I had no idea he hadn't taken
it already. So, once he went in
but he wasn't exactly thrilled with
his night.
"Well, the night was horrible,"
Graffunder said. "The first race
of the night was really bad and
that gave me a bad gate pick for
the main. But I somehow man-
aged to get a pretty decent start
from the outside and worked my
way through the carnage through
the first couple obstacles and
corners and think I came out in
fourth! That put me in a good
place to push forward. I charged
The Super EnduroCross Junior
Championship, a championship
within a championship, recognizes
Super EnduroCross riders 21 years
of age and under; Team SRT's
Trystan Hart held off Ty Tremaine
to take the title by a single point. The
two also finished second and third
in the overall championship, and are
both getting closer to the pace of
Webb and Haaker, the two dominant
indoor off-road racers in the world.
In the Women's class Shelby
Turner took her second
championship in a row. The
Canadian won five of the seven
races on her KTM and finished
second in the two races she did
not win. Kacy Martinez rode her
KTM to second and Tarah Gieger
piloted her Honda to third. This
was the same order for the 2017
Championship.
Destry Abbott took the Vet class
win to lock up a perfect season on
his Purvines DA8 Yamaha. Some
have questioned why he has not
competed in the pro class, but he is
still undergoing chemo treatments
and said the fatigue is too much
to compete at the top level. Dan
Hayakawa finished second and
David Stirm finished third. Abbott,
Stirm and Hayakawa finished the
Vet championship in first, second
and third, respectively.
In the Amateur class, Josh Greco
(KTM) took the Ontario win. David
Kamo (KTM) finished second and
Kevin Dupius (Husqvarna) rounded
out the podium. Dupius took
the Amateur Championship over
Greco. Carter York rounded out
the top three in the Amateur class
championship.
In the Amateur B main, Jared
Prosser (Yamaha) took the win.
Briefly...
Trystan Hart edged
out Tremaine by one
point for the Junior
Championship.
It wasn't a perfect
run but Destry Abbott
came away with the
win in the Amateur
division.
