Zip-Ty Husqvarna riders take to the Indianapolis AMA EnduroCross with guest rider Chris Denison.
August 29, 2011 - Corona, CA - After
taking a summer hiatus, District 37
racing is back in action, and so is Zip-Ty Racing's Nick Burson. At the
Invaders MC Desert Scramble in Johnson Valley, California, Burson
battled the heat and dust to pilot his Husqvarna TXC511 to the overall
win!
Burson led for most of the race, which consisted of two 35-mile loops.
Jake Argubright mounted a challenge early in the second loop after he
passed Burson just before the pit stop.
"At that point I had someone to chase, which is sometimes easier, but the dust made it pretty difficult," Burson commented. "I wanted to pick up the pace but as soon as I got on the trail we were already in lappers so I backed it down and tried to ride smart." Smart and steady paid off for Burson, who regained the lead from Argubright and sailed to a rather uneventful finish. "It was nice to get another win for the Zip-Ty Husqvarna team and I hope we can turn our bad luck around from the first half of the year into good luck for the remaining races!" On the same weekend, Zip-Ty Husqvarna racers were taking to the AMA EnduroCross course in Indianapolis for round three of the series. Despite suffering a broken finger less than two weeks earlier at round two in Everett, Washington, Jamie Lanza toughed it out in Indiana to fight for a qualifying position. Lanza was making good progress in the second qualifier before throwing a chain and losing his bid at transferring to the main event. |  Nick Burson takes the overall win at the Invaders MC Desert Scramble.

The Zip-Ty Husqvarna team hosted a guest rider in Indy - Dirt Rider Associate Editor, Chris Denison - who did a race test of Cory Graffunder's TE310 in the amateur class. Watch the pages of Dirt Rider
magazine for
Denison's story on the Zip-Ty TE310 - the bike that started life as a
dual-sport bike, and became a full-fledged racer and the inspiration for
Husqvarna's TXC310 - the flagship of the 2012 model line!
"It's great to see Nick Burson back in action in desert racing,"
commented Husqvarna's National Marketing Manager, Corey Eastman. "He's
off to a good start for the remainder of the 2011 season. It's also
great to have a
guest rider like Chris Denison with us for the weekend. It's a shame
that Cory Graffunder is still out with a broken wrist, but with Jamie
Lanza and Ryan Sandoval making strides in the series, we're still flying
the Husqvarna colors in
EnduroCross."
