Race for Tara 4

This past weekend was the 4th annual Tara Llanes Classic held at Northstar, CA. With an awesome turnout and race last year on the "Mega DH" course, this year quickly became a must attend event. A lot of top enduro pros and amateurs alike showed up to test their skill and fitness level on the 9+ minute course.

Rain held off for most of the weekend, until Sunday race morning when the skies opened and dumped all day long. The course quickly wet from bone dry, to tacky, to a mud fest. Rocks that once held traction were now extremely slick, causing a fair number of crashes. Point One Racing athletes in attendance did very well with a 3rd place in Junior Expert, also 8th and 15th in Pro out of 37. Congratulations!

All proceeds went to benefit Tara and her road to recovery, also the Christopher Reeve Spinal Cord Research center at UC Irvine.
