Maybe I’m out of the loop but who is Dante Oliveira? I saw he won this year and was the defending champ so hes clearly fast as hell. I was just surprised at someone Ive never heard of beating nicoletti, wageman, sean collier, ryan surratt, josh mosiman…. those guys are nooo joke. Was he a pro for a short time? Fast amateur? Offroad guy? Whats the story with this guy, usually Ive heard of all of the guys that can beat names like that but I was surprised it didnt ring a bell at all. Pretty impressive.

Ok makes sense then. Its always surprising how fast some of the off road guys are vs pro mx racers, but the skills definitely transfer over.

Dante has won WORCS, NGPC, National Hare and Hound, ISDE titles, a GNCC race, two stroke National titles, etc.  He's an absolute beast, and is easily the most versatile offroad guy in the world right now.  And his brother Mateo (Rockstar Husky) is nearly as fast.  They work their asses off, and are super cool dudes....

dude's unreal. a few years ago he went 15-12 at pala national. First moto he wrecked early & rode the first moto with no front fender. He showed up at washougal last year & broke his collarbone first lap battling around 8th position. He's a top notch rider. Also makes it look easy

Keep an eye out for him at the first 2-3 rounds this year.

For a two-stroke Enthusiast this race is hard to beat the vet races fun too but we only go there for the Pasha 125 30 plus class LOL

I think he is over 60.  He smoked me at the 2024 Washougal Blu Cru  and I think he was 60 then

To me they are equal for what they are. Pick your poison. The Vet races has quite a bit of 2 stroke participants so you get a little of both.
