Dirt Series Round 5
- Updated: August 12, 2013
The Dirt Series is a new style eight round MX/ATV/UTV racing series based in Southern California and presented by Triumph Motorsport. Since the Dirt Series is offering over $65,000 worth of cash and prizes and impressive contingency programs from GBC and STI that total over $20,000 the series grows with each round.
Racetown 395 in Adelanto, CA played host to this round, which was full of new faces and great racing. As riders arrived they were forced to deal with hot temperatures from the High Desert, but as the day went on the weather wasn’t as bad as it had been and sure did allow for some great racing. Below are the highlights from round 5…
The crowd gathers for the rider’s meetings
Allegiant on hand showing all their great products!
Tyler Flatinosky aboard his DRR charged hard all day with a 2nd place finish in 50cc open
Bradley Michel won the 50cc open class on his old-school Yamaha DRR. 
Ricky Easterwood took home the 70cc Open win.
Jerry Maldonado took home the Open 250 Class on his Triumph, STI, FOX, LSR, Precision backed Yamaha Raptor 250
The Open 250 class is the biggest class and one of the most fun to watch. This class is loaded with young full-of-spirit racers – Just what the sport needs!
Brandon Lugan and his mom made a huge trip to come out to the Dirt Series. It was nice to see the Lugans back at it. Brandon took home the 450 Beginner win.
Justin Christensen proving why he will take home the 450 Int. Championship this year!
Gabriel Lerma took the 450 Novice win aboard his Honda
Jerry Maldonado aboard his Triumph-built Yamaha Raptor 250 raced in three classes – 450 Novice, Open 250 and Quad Open.This young man battled through six motos to get himself two first place finishes and a second place. The second place was only due to a second place. The runner up spot was only due to a rollover in the corner as he was leading the race. This 13 year old battled Raptor 700 and fully built 450s all day! Now that’s heart! Great job kid!
Pro Staging
Dylan Dixon ran away with the 450 Pro Win. Dylan brought home the Holeshot award too.
Joey Berg on his Pro Shop prepped YFZR made light work of the Pro Am class
Kayla Smith moved to the Prod. 1000 Class this past weekend and raced her built Rhino against the RZR XP’s. It didnt take too long before she was around them. Shows that UTV racing isn’t all about guys, this girl can drive!
Cory Dehoog took second place in the Prod.1000 Class
A special prayer and get well soon goes out to Rick Ellsworth. This ATV racing warrior crashed really bad at practice and went home with two breaks in his femur. We wish you a quick recovery and we will see you soon!
Next round will be a high-speed Stadium-Style Race. It takes place on September 2nd in Victorville in San Bernardino County, call or check out the Dirt Series on line for more info!
