The event featured a 3.5-mile enduro special test and a 3-mile cross test laid out in a fashion similar to what would be seen at a World Enduro Championship or ISDE, with riders competing on each special test six times over the weekend for a total of twelve special tests.

FMF/N-Fab/AmPro Yamaha’s Daniel Milner jumped out to an early lead on day one winning the first special test by 8-seconds over Kailub Russell and continuing to win the next two tests to pull out to a 14-second lead over FMF/KTM’s Russell. The two-time GNCC Champ and 3^rd-place overall finisher at the 2014 ISDE would rally to take the win in test 4 but Milner responded with wins in the final two tests of the day and headed into the final day of racing with a 14-second lead.

Behind the duo of Milner and Russell, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Josh Strang and AirGroup/Rockstar Energy/Husqvarna’s Ryan Sipes had a heated battle for 3^rd and 4^th-place with only 5-seconds separating the two after 6 special tests on day one.   

FMF/N-Fab/AmPro Yamaha’s Jordan Ashburn, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Andrew DeLong, MPS Honda’s Layne Michael, Tegan Temple, Grant Baylor and FMF/KTM’s Russell Bobbitt rounded out the top-ten after day one.

A light rain in the morning made for perfect conditions on day two and it was FMF/KTM’s Kailub Russell who came out swinging taking the win in the first four tests of the day moving himself into first-place overall ahead of day one winner, Milner. The Australian rebounded in the 5^th-test of day two taking the win to close within 3-seconds of Russell with one final test remaining in the event.

Russell was the first rider to tackle the final test and put down a blistering 6:47 test time, his fastest time on that test of the day, and most importantly 3-seconds faster than Milner which gave him the overall win by just 6-seconds after two days of racing.

“The Full Gas Sprint Enduro style of racing makes riding with skill and patience a necessity,” said Russell, whose patience ultimately paid off for the win. “Daniel (Milner) put up a fight but I was pumped to come away with the win. I’m looking forward to a good battle in this series.”

Josh Strang rode a consistent second day to secure the final podium position in only his second race on his new Rockstar Energy Husqvarna.

Jordan Ashburn who was 5^th on day one moved up one spot on day two and ended up finishing 4^th-overall for the weekend. Ryan Sipes, who was 4^th on day one, was forced to leave the event early and head home to Kentucky where his wife and family were without electric or heat due to a bad ice storm.
