Warm temps and sunny skies set the stage for a traditional endurance race at Glen Helen Raceway, with plenty of dust, silt and fun greeting 74 teams at the annual 3Bros 10-Hours of Glen Helen, June 6-7. Returning two-thirds of last year’s winning trio, DirtBikeTest.com brought Trevor Hunter and Sean Lipanovich, along with Gary Sutherlin, to the overall victory, finishing 40 laps ahead of the 73 other teams.
At the 8 a.m. flag drop, the Open Pro/Expert riders rushed into Talladega, the first turn, with Open Intermediate rider Russell Conner at the front on his KTM. Through the first few corners, riders jockeyed for position, but Conner led the field into the dust.
Overcoming a poor start, the Dirt Bike Test/1-800-Dent-Doc team of Hunter, Lipanovich and Sutherlin recovered from their number 24 Triumph TF450-E not firing right away and passed the entire first line of riders halfway through the opening lap. Once in the lead, Sutherlin chased first tracks with no leader in sight, only to realize they were from the morning’s sweep lap. By lap two, the former NHHA and WORCS champ settled into a comfortable pace, holding a two-minute lead before the first hour was over.
Behind Sutherlin, the number 524 Skaggs Racing Honda CRF450X of Hayden Hintz, Gunner Smith, Max Hintz and Dylan Delgado ran second overall and first in the Open Intermediate class through the opening three laps. As the race settled in, the ACT/Malcolm Smith Motorsports KTM duo of Brandon Krause and Austin Keys moved into second overall and second in the Open AA class. Another front-runner throughout the race, Nick Stover and the number 281 Reezen Racing GasGas team were late to the start and had to claw their way back through the field in the opening hour. Stover, along with teammates Seth Nemec, Cal Crutcher and Seth Christensen, worked their way up into third overall in the first hour, where they’d hover between 1-2 minutes behind Krause.
Though the Dirt Bike Test team remained unchallenged out front, the race for second heated up just past the halfway mark. The two-man team of Krause and Keys began to feel the effects of a long, hot day on the grueling course, allowing Stover’s four-man team to capitalize and make up time overall. With just over three hours to go, the number 281 GasGas passed into second overall, where they’d hold to the finish.
After 10 hours and 10 minutes of racing, the checkered flag flew for the Dirt Bike Test team, which rode a near-flawless race to take the victory aboard a near-stock Triumph TF450-E enduro bike. The Reezen Racing team finished second overall and first in Open Intermediate, while Krause/Keys finished a respectable third overall and second in Open AA with just two riders. The Skaggs Racing team finished fourth overall and second in class, and Jeremy Keech finished fifth overall and claimed the Business class victory in the process.
The toughest of them all, the Ironman class saw 29 brave racers line up to complete the full race solo. Grayson Pringle topped the class with 36 laps and finished an impressive eighth overall despite starting on the last row. Brian Roberts and Brock Donaldson rounded out the top three with 35 and 33 laps, respectively. Maddy Weber finished fourth in the Ironman class and 22nd overall with 32 laps.
Wyatt Ubrun’s team won the 85cc Mini class, finishing 24th overall with 32 laps. Malachi Schade and Brayden Butterfield rounded out the top three in the Mini class. Other notable finishers included Todd Davis’ team winning the 50+ Expert class, Alex O’Neal’s team winning the 125/250 Novice class, Ron Lawson winning the 60+ class, and Troy Armstrong claiming the 30+ Expert class.
Next on the calendar is the 3Bros 24-Hours of Glen Helen, scheduled for October 10-11 as the final round of the three-race endurance series. CN
