was better in the Cross test, but I was able to
get him back in the Enduro tests. I just kept
pushing and I was able to make it happen.”
KTM-mounted Billy Schlag was third in Pro2.
KR4/Husqvarna/Rockstar’s Tayla Jones came
out on top of a close battle with Bonanza
Plumbing/Trail Jesters KTM’s Mackenzie
Tricker for the win in the Women’s Pro divi-
sion. Tricker finished a half-second faster than
Jones during Saturday’s round, but Jones
came back with a good ride on Sunday to take
the overall win.
“It was very close with Mackenzie and the
track was very challenging which made it a
good race,” said Jones. “I was on the ground
more than I wanted to but it was a good
weekend.”
Jones had the edge in the Cross test, while
Tricker was fastest in the Enduro test.
“We were swapping back and forth and we
went into the final test separated by seven
seconds,” said Tricker. “I wanted to make up
the deficit so I just went out and sent up but
I ended up going down and that cost me a
chance.”
Brooke Cosner was third overall on a Ya-
maha.
The Lake Sugar Tree race also doubled as an
AMA ISDE Qualifier round. Eighteen Letter of
Intent (LoI) riders signed up to try and qualify
for this year’s ISDE in Chile.
James King of Hot Springs, Arkansas won
the LoI class with an 11th overall finish. The
Honda rider also won the Lites A division.
“I had a lot of back-and-forth racing all
weekend with Tyler Vore,” said King. “I had
one bad test on Saturday that I had to come
back from but Sunday went pretty well. I tend
to do better in bad conditions so Saturday my
times were better, but I was able to go 1-1 in
the LoI class for the weekend.”
