| Taddy Blazusiak
Wins EnduroCross Round 2 |
| The second round of the AMA
EnduroCross Series was a repeat of the first with Red
Bull/KTM rider Taddy Blazusiak taking his second
consecutive win. |
|
The weather was warm in Oklahoma and the indoor
rodeo arena retained a lot of the outside heat which made it
quite challenging for the riders during the afternoon practice
and hot laps. The course was quite different than the typical
EnduroCross rounds with much more dirt and Supercross style
jumps which suited the style of Mike Brown and Blazusiak.
Blazusiak qualified with the third fastest time during the
afternoon hot laps with Christini/KTM rider Geoff Aaron
turning the fastest time and FMF/KTM rider Mike Brown earning
the second fastest time.
The heat races had a strong showing of KTM riders. Aaron won
the first heat, while Brown won the second and Blazusiak
finished off the KTM win streak by taking the win in heat
number three.
RPM/KTM rider Kevin Rookstool was able to slide into the main
event after taking a hard fought win in the last chance
qualifier.
The main event saw Blazusiak with the holeshot followed
closely by Brown and Aaron. Blazusiak and Brown began to
battle right from the start with Brown getting around
Blazusiak a few corners into the first lap. Brown led for a
couple laps before he made a mistake in a rock section and
allowed Blazusiak to get by. The two remained in battle for
eight laps before Brown stalled his bike with only two of the
ten laps remaining. Brown had trouble getting his bike started
which allowed Blazusiak to pull away and take the win. Aaron
finished 2nd behind Blazusiak and Justin Soulè rounded out
the podium.
Former Motocross pro rider, Guy Cooper, pit under the FMF/KTM
Factory semi for the day competing in the Vet class. At the
age of 48, he was able to turn heads as he won his class while
running lap times very close to the pro riders.
