Jason Hooper announced that he's calling it a day with the FGSE series and that 2020 was it's last season.

Personally, sad to see it go as it was one of the most exciting off-road events to watch and film. Aside from that, I curious to see how it effects ISDE for team USA. Since the series started there's been a significant improvement for Team USA in the ISDE as it gave them a similar style of racing to practice on.

Maybe the facilities started wanting a bigger cut?

The Hidden Valley golf course here in WV was probably their biggest turnout, and super fun. You can still ride the tracks there in the warmer months. They have a mx track and the off-road tracks. They have races occasionally too,

Never went to one, but I imagine there is some benefit to running early before the course gets beat up. It seemed to have good turnouts, but I'm not sure if they ever ran amateurs? Hard to make a living off of just the Pro classes.
It sure seems to be a format that is popping up all over the country at both sanctioned and non-sanctioned events.
Maybe/hopefully someone will try to pick up where Hoop left off?
I still prefer the 24 MPH enduros that challenged you 160-250 miles a day 3-5 decades ago. Nobody raced to make money in that era. Just heart and pride.

I’m with ktmfun. Those all day timekeepers had a special way of making you suffer. The 24mph sections at the end of the long course, the ones you’d struggle to maintain 10mph......that was the good stuff.
