Title: Smage Riding a Scorpa????? Post by: 2whlrcr on September 30, 2007, 01:44:09 PM Can this be true or is it a misprint???? PHIL Smage takes 6th place at the Denver EnduroCross on a SCORPA? Anyway, Phil beat Geoff Aaron in the last chance qualifier to make the main and placed sixth overall. David Knight won, Keith Wineland (trials guy) took second. I think this sport is tailer made for the Smage's. Nice job Phil.

Oh, I can breathe a sigh of relief. I can't believe something in the press would be inaccurate? ;D Title: Re: Smage Riding a Scorpa?????

He and Craig are enroute to Oklahoma now for this weekends event ,with him posting 3rd fastest lap time at CO they feel he has great chance at making the main show keep posted and cheer him on. BTW mens USA TDN had a best ever 6th overall in top class . Isle of Man was fun but only hit the low 50 s for high temps.
Title: Re: Smage Riding a Scorpa????? Post by: Craig Gernhardt on October 08, 2007, 04:37:12 PM Hey everyone in WOTA-land. A couple of NITRO guys Tom Bledsoe and Frank Totton gave EnduroCross a try and I'll bet they'll tell you it was an experience of their lives.
Phil had another quality outing, not as points rewarding as he would've liked, but quality nonetheless. Phil currently sits in 7th place series points-wise and won't have to qualify in Las Vegas. Even though they changed the track design to suit the moto-bikes, Phil was still top 10 in the hot lap times. It was a huge open space track, long straight-aways and less major rock-pile obstacles. Lap times were up 30 seconds from the week before. Track designer said he was told to make the track moto-friendly in OLK, that's what he did. Two of his three night races were totally exciting and down to the wire - as his heat race #1 he battled a #1 Dave Pearson for 6 grueling laps, taking a third, missing the 2nd transfer spot. Geoff Aaron this time got the best of Phil in the LCQ - as last week it was Phil ahead of Aaron. I'm hoping I can convince Noel and Pat to 'give it a go' in Vegas, as the track size will again go small and favor the trials bikes. Wouldn't a trio of Smage's in Saturday's main event be something? Nothing like a family from Elkhorn Wisconsin pissing off the entire KTM and Suzuki EnduroCross racing organization enough to pull their riders and sponsorship from the event if the trials riders keep winning races. So, who's going to Vegas November 17th and root Phil on? Title: Re: Smage Riding a Scorpa????? Post by: 2whlrcr on October 08, 2007, 09:57:00 PM So how did Tom and Frank do?
