- ROUND 1 IN THE BAG FOR BURSON –
The first round held by 100s MC was a success having nearly 80 teams with some of the fastest racers in Southern California lined up to race as the sun went down. 8 laps of rocky, sandy, fast yet technical terrain topped off with an endurocross section awaited them. The falg dropped and 128 miles of racing commenced.
Nick Burson ironmanned the race taking the early lead and the Win by close to 7 minutes on his Husky TE 510 with the Rigid Industries – http://www.rigidindustries.com – LED light System and Cyclops Solstic HID – http://www.cyclopsmotorsports.com -Helmet light.
The Battle for 2nd overall was a good one between the teams of Max Jr. / Matt Eddy, Ryan / Erek Kudla and Rick Brabec / Andy VandenBerg. The three would battle for position the entire race. Brabec's light went out on the 4th lap allowing the Kudla team on their dad's bone stock KTM 450 EXC-R to slip by them and the Eddy's into a short lived 2nd Overall. The Eddy's passed them back when the Kudla's dropped the bike during the rider change. Brabec and Vandenberg were on a mission to catch back up to position and Andy was able to pass 250 class rival Erek Kudla for 3rd overall. The Kudla's finished a solid 4th even with Ryan taking a huge spill passing a lapper a mile from the finish.
5th Overall went to the first Amateur team of Danny Modica and Robert Mejia followed closely by the father son team of Justin and Doug Imhof.
