On Sunday, Snodgrass and Girroir went back and forth, with Snodgrass taking
the overall thanks to his strong performance on Saturday.
“Johnny beat me by a few seconds today, but we’ve got the overall for the
weekend, so that’s pretty cool,” said Snodgrass. “I’ve enjoyed myself out here. We
finished up with no injuries or nothing, so that’s good as well.”
Third went to former Pro motocrosser from Pennsylvania, Ben Nelko, on a Seven
Sixty Motorsports Husqvarna.
The ProAm class went to local boy Cole Mattison. The KTM rider topped Geor-
gia’s Josh Lee by 1.57 seconds with Pennsylvania rider Neil Enman finishing third.
“I took a digger on the first cross test, but other than that I just tried to hold my
lead and bring it in home with the win,” said Mattison.
Despite getting stuck in a mudhole on Saturday and losing considerable time,
Rockstar Husqvarna Lan Mills XC rider Tayla Jones beat out BABS Racing/Maxxis/
Fly Yamaha’s Becca Sheets by nearly 15 seconds for the win in the Women’s Pro
class. On Sunday, Jones won every test.
“The tracks are super rough, but overall I had a lot of fun,” said Jones. “The first
race of the season went really well, so I can’t really complain. Saturday, I ended up
getting stuck in a mud hole and lost like a minute thirty, so I had to come back
from that. So that kind of sucked and put me behind going into the last couple
tests, but I ended up making up the time. I won yesterday and today, so I’m pretty
stoked.”
New Zealand’s Rachel Archer was third on an Am Pro Yamaha, while Beta USA’s
Rachel Gutish finished fourth and Canada’s Shelby Turner was fifth.
