So it’s two loops set up one is a “cross” test the other is an “enduro” test. Single file start 15 seconds apart.

4 laps on each loop then add up the lap times - lowest lap time wins.

Cross test is moto with grass track and some wide woods - enduro test is all woods/grass track. Little slower more techy stuff.

A sight lap? or can you walk it?

Walk or bike or emtb.

No sight lap needed. You get faster (or supposed to anyway) with each test.

It’s pretty awesome. And if it’s muddy it’s grueling. You gotta hit all tests in a certain time frame. You don’t wanna Bust time!!

In was absolutely smoked. Got off the test. Cleaning muck off bike. Rest for a few minute and back out. 10 tests total I recall at the West Virginia round I did.

Do the math. I think my laps were near 12 minutes. Allot of seat time.

Michigan Sprint Enduro! Battle Creek!

Format - badass. It combines the best parts of motocross and off-road. It’s like an “open practice” race? Plenty of bench racing time after you do your cross and enduro test. Gas, drink, suspension clickers, and shake out the arms.

1 hour 9 min total of seat time. I was smoked on the drive home. Started racing at noon done and on the road at 4:15 ish.

Cross test was my favorite - they used the motocross, some grass track and wide woods stuff. The dirt in Michigan….It’s so good. Got a little rain in the morning that made it perfect. (see photo)

Enduro test has some techy sections - and it got ROUGH. 470 riders out there on course gets single track stuff pretty hammered.

I’m hitting another one in May in WV. East coast stuff looks a little more off-road than this one up in Michigan.

I didn’t think they have any Ohio rounds.. but I was down at NCMP for a qualifier last weekend and one of the fast vet guys told me about one near High Point this weekend. Sure does sound like a good time!

US Sprint Enduro at High Voltage… it was on my calendar once that schedule dropped until I realized recently it’s Easter weekend. Definitely want to try one.

Jack, that Michigan one you did looks and sounds like a blast!
