Another day, another dust bowl. The 100th Edition of the International Six Days of Enduro entered Day 2 of racing, with riders riding mostly the same route as yesterday, meaning very beat in courses and tracks. Here's what went down:
Mojo/SXS Club Team & other Club news
The Mojo/SXS Club Team finally had all it's riders racing with rider Tanner Whipple getting his Beta 300 working again. He made the most of his dead-last start and worked his way up to 60th in the overall Club category!
Anthony Ferrante may not have been exactly as fast as yeserdays killer start, but he sets solid test times throughout the day to now be in the 7th Club Overall position and 3rd in the C2 class! His best time is found in the first and final tests of the day aboard the Husqvarna 350.
The other member of our club team Nathan Ferderer keeps plugging away on his Yamaha 125 and now sits in the 30th Club Overall spot and 10th in the C1 class.
Another NorCal favorite Anson Maloney stays consistent from yesterday and is still in the top ten at 9th Club Overall and 4th in C2 class! He still leads the charge for the Missouri Mudders club team who are still 3rd today. The best times for Anson were in the second and final tests of the day.
Maverick Allaway in his first 6Days is maintaining good speed. After today he is 33rd Club Overall and 12th in the C1 class, and leads his Randy Mastin Memorial club team up a spot into 8th.

We are all well aware that the dust and silt is not going anywhere, but some new tracks tomorrow should stir things up while soreness and fatigue start to really set in. NorCal boys are putting on a show and we can't wait to see how the rest of the week goes!
