Starting at 10 am, riders were released in groups of four, every minute, and rode the soggy, sandy transfer trails to the tests. There were six tests, each a gnarly mix of wet sand, greasy roots and mud covered rocks. The rains before and during the race caused water holes to develop in some sections, with riders digging the hole s deeper as they tried to get traction in the slick mud.
“The fire roads were a little cold,” said Wojo. “But once you got back into the tighter trail, you’d warm up again.”
After a solid ride, Wojo finished second behind KTM rider Josh Long.
“It was a very wet, cold and miserable day,” said the Yamaha rider. “But, other than that, everything went really well.”
Wojo would like to thank all of his sponsors: Yamaha, Machine Racing, LGS, Podium Grafix, Bondi Engines, Works Connection, Yamalube, Rekluse, AXO Gear, PerformX, Orthoflex, LRP and AME Grips for their support.
