Gas Gas Motos NA Race Report:

Team Gas Gas NA Off-Road resumed racing this past Weekend April 23rd and 24th at the east coast ISDE Qualifier/ Full Gas Sprint Enduro series in Romney WV. Near perfect conditions greeted the 240 riders in attendance to compete in the two day event. Riders were timed to the hundredth of a second in both the cross test and the enduro test 3 times each for a total of 6 test per day.


Team rider Broc Hepler on his new EC300 seemed to really excel in the sprint style event and dominated the E3 class putting his factory Gas Gas on top of the podium yet again! After winning both days, Broc Hepler has qualified for his first ISDE which will take place later this year in Spain! Hepler really seemed to mesh well with the extra power of the his 300 and has decided to make the switch from the 250 to the 300 for the remainder of the season.

Team manager/rider Johnny Barber also rode a strong race in the the E2 class putting his factory Gas Gas on the podium with a solid 3rd place finish after two days of racing. Barber, an ISDE veteran has also put himself in qualifying position for Spain.

Barber commented, "This weekend our team really came together with everyone putting in so much effort. We proved yet again that our bikes can compete at the highest level and as Team Manager it's very rewarding to see everyone's hard work paying off. Hepler rode absolutely fantastic all weekend and I'm excited to see him carry this momentum into our next event."

"Thanks to all of our sponsors and also the Full Gas Sprint Enduro crew for putting on a great qualifier."

This is awesome. Can someone educate me on the classes? I looked at the Full Gas Sprint Enduro rules and didn't see an E2 or E3 class. Thanks.
