Beta USA teammates Cody Barnes and Mike Wit-
kowski finished sixth and seventh overall. Barnes’
finish was good enough for first in the NEPro2
class.
“I won the first test and made some mistakes
in the second,” said Barnes. “Overall the day was
good. Didn’t make too many mistakes. I think only
two crashes. I was pretty good throughout with
limiting mistakes and stuff.”
Former pro trials rider GasGas rider Ron Commo
III balanced his way to ninth overall. Meanwhile,
former national winner Cory Buttrick returned to
the national enduro series after a long hiatus and
brought his XC Gear/Enduro Engineering/Husqvar-
na in for 10th.
Mackenzie Tricker (KTM) was down 36 second to
defending series champ Tayla Jones (Rockstar En-
ergy/Husqvarna/Moose Husqvarna) going into the
final test, but put in an amazing ride that gave the
Mepmx/Fly/Grizzly Peak/Traveler’s Rest Speedway/
KTM rider the win in the Women’s Elite class.
Jones finished second 46 seconds behind Tricker,
with Am Pro Yamaha’s Rachel Archer in third, an-
other 17 seconds behind Jones.
