Another sold out crowd welcomed our racers at the Geico Endurocross event in Boise, Idaho. The success of our night began when Bobby Prochnau won the LCQ after missing the transfer spot in his Heat by just one position. In the main Prochnau finished a strong eight place after a couple mistakes going for a top three spot cost him some valuable positions. "You have to race risky to get podium," stated Prochnau. 
Kacy Martinez then followed Prochnau's win with an overall Women's podium finish, taking third just behind Maria Forsberg (first), and Louise Forsley (second). Our other lady Chantelle Bykerk started off her night with a second place finish in her heat behind Louise Forsley and hoped to carry the momentum into the main. Unfortunately Bykerk came into a pile up on lap one, and found it difficult to recover from the lost ground. Ultimately Bykerk was able to finish in sixth in the Women's main event.
The Endurocross crew and promoters have been building more challenging tracks and the spectators are really getting to see a show. You never know who is going to be in the main. At the end of the night, a podium position in Mens EX Pro class and Women's class is an extremely difficult feat and you truly have to work for it.
