Smage Riding a Scorpa?????

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.

Total misprint. We were pitted with the team Scorpa, so the writers all musta assumed he was on a Scorpa.

way to rock Phil...Its great to hear..trials guys and trials bikes taking it to the enduro-x world

Oh, I can breathe a sigh of relief.  I can't believe something in the press would be inaccurate?

  Not  yet  but they may have  a bike closer to  the  EX  needs   so  not impossible .   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. 

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?

So how did Tom and Frank do?

Ya, inquiring minds do want to know
