TREVOR STEWERT

HITS THE JACK POT

AT PRIMM

Shamrocks MC put together a Las Vegas style party that just does not quit. Every year this event gets bigger and bigger and there seems to be no cap on the amount of good friends and good time had by those in attendance. Thank you to the Shamrocks MC for yet another spectacular event. Top notch effort here.

The JCR Honda, Lucas Oil, Maxxis, Fly, Von Zipper, Alpine Star Honda of Trevor Stewart jumped out to an early lead and put about 11 seconds on the pack. By lap 6, Trevor had spread the gap to almost 15 seconds. The gap tightened to the white flag as the lead had shrunk to just 2 seconds. At the end, Stewart held off all challengers and brought home the win by a very close 5 second margin.

With the second win of the season for Stewart, he has taken over the WCGP Pro Class points lead. 3 more events left in the season. Can he keep the Honda up front till the end?

HITS THE JACK POT

AT PRIMM

The leader of the group chasing Stewart was the 777 Chaparral, MTR, Precision Concepts, FastHouse, Maxxis Kawasaki of Blayne Thompson. Thompson grabbed 2nd in the first lap as Stewart starched the lead out in front of him. He put together a monster effort to reel back in the eventual points leader to miss the top step by just 5 seconds.

This was Thompsons best finish of the season and pushed himself past Eric Yorba for 4th place in the Points Race.

Below, 557 Kailub Russel on the FMF, Factory Racing KTM rounded out the top three in the WCGP Pro Class.

Kailub had a rough start, ending the first lap in a distant 7th place. By lap 4, he had made it on to the podium and stayed in 3rd

until the checkered flag.

Clay Hengeveld was the top finisher in the WCGP Pro II Class. He was also 9th overall.

Mitch Anderson was 2nd WCGP Pro II

Along with the 3rd in the WCGP Pro race, Kailub Russel followed it up with an overall win in Race 15, Heavy Weight Expert.

The last time Beau Baron did not win a Quad race at a Big 6 event was October 3rd, 2015 at the Viewfinders GP. The win at Primm this year was an extremely impressive 19th win in a row. Baron is on the CST, Sparks, X-Brand, IMS, Sun-star, Hinson, Works Connect Honda. Keep it up Beau!

Craig McCall took home the Magnum class win on the white KTM.

Top Side Car Pilot was the Burns Racing, Marks Performance Yamaha of Michael Burns Junior.

Jordan Johnson-Rose was the winner of the WCGP Nov/Beg race on Saturday.

Hey Race Fans!! Here are some things you should know…..

You can earn 2nd place points for helping out with Rescue 3, Inc. Riders are allowed 2 sets of 2nd place points in one racing season. If you are a member of a club, you

usually earn those points from helping out with hosting your club’s event.

What if you aren’t a member of a club or what if your club puts on a 1 day event?

If you volunteer your time with Rescue 3, Inc., you can earn work points. Rescue 3, Inc. does not require that you have first aid knowledge. They need people who can ride and know the desert.

By helping out, it allows them to split up their teams. So instead of two R3 members riding together, those members can split up into two teams pairing up with D37 riders, allowing them to cover more areas. Rescue 3, Inc. does not allow their members to ride alone, so you would be a big help just being there to ride with them.

For more information, email Andrew McDaniel at motomojave@yahoo.com or Matt Brillinger at bombproof.racing@gmail.com

Rescue 3, Inc. not only assists with D37 racers, but they are in the OHV areas with the most traffic assisting with racers and with the general public.

Did you know that Active Duty Military get a discount on AMA District 37 Competition cards?

All Active Duty Military receives one free competition card per year. All you have to do is see Brian Nasif and he will hook you up. Active Duty Military can also volunteer time with Rescue 3, which will count towards your community service hours.

The Kurt Caselli Foundation gives back so much to the racing community. They have donated radios

to emergency personnel, donated a KC Safety Kawasaki Mule to the GNCC Series, purchased an ultrasound machine to loan to Alpinestars Mobile Medical Unit, schedule free first aid and CPR classes, funding of Off-Road Concussion Management Study, offers a scholarship every year, has donated $10,000 to Riders Helping Riders and the list goes on!!

If you are not able to make it to this event, but would still like to donate, you may do so by visiting their web page at www.kurtcaselli.com/donate or by sending a check to the Kurt Caselli Foundation, PO Box 6676, Lancaster, CA 93534-5202.
