After cards were scored and the protest session proceeded, Kyle McDonal came away with another Grand Champion award with a score of 8-209. He was closely followed by Chase Compton with a 8-224 and Rich Lafferty who dropped 9-239. Rounding out the top 5 were Jack Lafferty Jr. and Robert Lapinski who also took the High Point A award. This was by far one of the best sand races I've been to in a while. Don't skip this one next year! I'd like to thank CDR and all of the club members for another great event.

Once you bring time-keeping into it, many other variables enter which makes it hard. Unfortunately, a few riders received burns on this check-in which messed up their day with so few points being dropped on the day. Most notable was Jeff Pasqua who burned the check-in but it wouldn't hurt him that bad with Jeff Melik missing from the race (his closest competitor this year). The last section of Beehive the past few years has always been fast and flowing. It may be one of my favorite trails of the year. As we headed into it, I gave myself an extra boost of adrenaline to attack the trails. Corner speed matters in this section as you are railing berms, then entering straightaways, then berms, repeat. One of the coolest parts was this little hill before crossing a road and going into the woods again.
