Winner Zach Bell
starts one of the
many special tests
over the weekend
during the inaugural
Sprint Hero Enduro at
Glen Helen.
Riders were started on each loop
in 20-second intervals and were
challenged to run a full-out lap,
followed by a break. The racer
in each class that has the lowest
total time on course over the two
days is the winner.
At this event, WORCS had
three tests: an enduro test, a
motocross test and a cross test.
The Pros ran all three, while the
balance of the 22 classes com-
prising adult, women and youth
racers ran just the enduro and
motocross sections. All events will
have at least two tests.
The Pro-class racers particular-
ly enjoyed the format, because it
allowed them to analyze each lap
T
he Sprint Hero Racing
Series kicked off its first-
ever three-venue, six-race
schedule at Glen Helen Raceway.
The unique race-the-clock event
brought the sprint off-road for-
mat west of the Mississippi with
a unique West Coast flare. Zach
Bell scored the overall victory
ahead of Justin Jones. Travis Coy
finished third.
The new series, which ben-
efits the DA8 Strong Founda-
tion, is the brainchild of WORCS
promoter Sean Reddish. The
event was held on six miles of
motocross, single track and sand
sections that were separated into
full-length loops called "tests."
