GLEN HELEN 6 HOUR
S
teady rain in the days leading
up to the John Burr Cycles
(JBC) 6 Hour Endurance Race,
the first round of Glen Helen's
2018 Endurance Series, left
many to ponder whether or not
they were willing to take on what
was sure to be a soggy course.
A Saturday-night soaking left
course workers making some
last-minute changes to the 6+
mile course on Sunday morning,
which involved cutting out the
entire main track and REM track.
While conditions in the morning
were quite muddy, the course
dried out as the day wore on,
leaving riders with ideal condi-
tions, especially through the tight
single-track sections.
Among those who made the
last-minute decision to show up
were Blayne Thompson and Justin
Seeds, who teamed up on their
Chaparral Motorsports/Precision
Concepts Kawasaki. The decision
paid off for the duo, who handily
won by nearly two laps ahead of
Tyler Nicholson's KTM-mounted
team. Samuel Montalvan and crew
rounded out the overall podium in
third. CN
