The cross-country caravan of the USXC made it’s annual visit to Thief Thief River Falls, Minnesota for the Seven Clans TRF 250. The race weekend was made up of two days of racing with an I-500 style scoring format. Day one’s race course was a 40 mile all ditch loop with riders making three laps. On day two, riders took a longer 60 mile loop with only two laps. Scoring was a consecutive two day total of the times. At this event, the Junior riders got to compete both days running one lap each day.
These results make it an all Polaris sweep for both the Pro and Semi Pro classes at the TRF 250.
After 3 rounds of racing, Aaron Christensen is leading the Pro Stock point standings with Wes Selby in 2nd and Justin Tate in 3rd. Last years Pro Stock points champions, Zach Herfindahl, had a mechanical issue on day 1 after the first lap which resulted in a DNF for the weekend. This now puts him in 5th for the Pro Stock points standings. For the Pro Open standings, Justin Tate is leading with Wes Selby in 2nd and Aaron Christensen in 3rd. In Semi Pro, Marshall Busse is on top with Dustin Dohrn in 2nd and O’Ryan Bosek in 3rd.
USXC will have a weekend off while some riders gear up to head to the Soo I-500 in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Good luck to all teams competing! USXC will be back in action the next weekend February 8th and 9th for the annual I-500 in Goodridge/Grygla, Minnesota.
