SMOKE ’EM IF YOU GOT ’EM
With more than 700 pre-entries, the Wiseco 2-Stroke World Championship, hosted by Fasthouse was shaping up to be the best thing happening on the SoCal MX scene in 2020! “It became obvious during the Thursday and Friday practice days, that something big was going to happen,” said Glen Helen’s newsletter. “And by race day it dawned on everyone that there were 750 hardcore two-stroke racers jammed into the pits.”
A chance to get off the couch and return to some semblance of normalcy was boosted by some big bucks. Open Pro winner Mike Alessi made $30,000 at the 2020 World Two-Stroke Championship, but there was something for just about everyone. Courtesy of Hollywood actor Pasha Afshar (who finished ninth in the Over-50 125 Pro class) there were $2000 Pro purses set aside for the 125 Pros, Over-30 125 Pros and Over-50 125 Pros. First place in any of these three age divisions paid $1000 (second got $600 and third $400).
Even the vendor row was a sight to behold… full coverage coming in the next issue.
