Team Walsh Racecraft wins Motoplex Endurance Race

[Paul_S]

We had around 60 riders brave the cold (yes it was freezing) for our second Endurance race. The race was basically run as many laps of our xc course as you can, in 8 hours. One rider from each team, out on the course at any time.

We started the race, using our MX track as a way to separate the riders before they entered the woods.

Here are the overall winners:

Walsh Racecraft got the holeshot and never looked back. Their 3 man mixed team (2 dirtbikes and one quad) of Mike Walsh, Mike Bard & Jeff Walts turned in an impressive 14 laps with a blistering average lap time of  31.42 minutes.

Second place (first in their class) with an average 33.84 mins went to a team of GNCC riders, Team Old Man Racing..whose ages ranged from the forties to the oldest racer who is 62. Way to show the young guys how to ride.

Third place overall (second in their class) went to Team Tampa Bay Riding Dirty with an average lap time of 35 minutes.

Here are all the results:

That cannondale tow bill was exspensive, it cost us 2nd place

[dale-quad]

it cost the team a second and its going to cost me $1500   

[Shawn]

it cost the team a second and its going to cost me $1500   

Thats is way worse than the 2nd place, sorry and good luck

[dale-quad]

yeah...but we busted our azz to stay in second place, and i was going to bust out my 28.50 sec lap for my last ditch effort to make a run at the top spot 
talked to my motor guy tonight and should have another motor ready for me in a couple of weeks which will basically be a stocker, with some head and time work, he said it should gain about 3-4 hp, then we will work on the 450 kit with more head work

Hey John, I pm'd ALL the lap times for all the TBRD guys to Andy. Not sure which order you ran. You can either get it from him, or let me know which position you raced in and I will gladly get the results to you.

I guess You should have moved and let that freshly rebuilt raptor through and he wouldn't have had to push you out of the way! lol

By the way Paul I am a little worried about the crank in that bike..I never seen a crank so blue that was not siezed up.. I think the lack of oil may have hurt it though, I swear I heard a bottom end knock in the thing..
