Congrats to Kelly Crenshaw who edged out Stephen Reed by exactly 1 minute! Crenshaw will receive a free AcadianaRacing.com t-shirt. Thanks to everyone else who sent in your guesses; several got it correct...this Enduro / Hare Scramble racer from Louisiana is Bruce Comeaux - one of the core staff members of the LACC Series.
Kids, this is back when bikes were air cooled, had drum brakes, dual shocks, metal tanks, etc...
The action shot was taken at the Turkey Creek Round of the "LA Hare Scramble Championship Series" - bike is a late seventies Husqvarna 2-stroke 390. This rider went on to race Husky 420 and 430 auto's in the early eighties and was a top 20 rider in the Southern Enduro Riders Association. Click photo to enlarge.

Big thanks to LACC Series participant Drew Cornell for allowing his LA Community & Technical College students to do a project on cross-country racing (you may have seen them filming at LACC nd 1). A 30 min show that they put together has already aired on AOC...here's a short preview. [Cox 15 & LUS 3 in Acadiana]
There are many interviews and great footage included in the show. Thanks to the students Mark Guilbeau and the others for a job well done!

Sturges: "....I am extremely excited about my result this year at the Perry Mountain 24 hour Challenge, and was proud to represent the LACC Series. The conditions were Hades hot, humid and extremely dusty, living up to being "the ultimate test of endurance, skill and strategy... "

From what we understand Sturges put in 37 laps (370 miles) in just 24 hours!

Thanks to the Van Way's for allowing a race, the long hours of course prep, and the thousands?? of gallons of water put down on the track! Great ground conditions in the majority of the woods, many riders were able to conquer the optional extreme sections, and the large crowd was able to enjoy many nearby spectator areas.

...he may not be a young pup anymore but he can still ride!

We've run some calculations and past WORLD MX Champ Trampas Parker (KTM/Munn/Fly/Arai/TCP MX Schools) has wrapped up the
2010 LA Cross-Country Series Overall Championship
with one round to go!

"I had a blast this year and will be back again next year", said Parker. "It was harder than some people think and I need to enjoy it because these guys are riding very well and will be coming after the title hard next year. The series has brought fun back into riding for me, everyone is friendly at the races, and it’s just a great time..."

Staff member / Trail Boss Lucas Comeaux commented, "We're very honored to have Parker race the series and win the title. The LACC Series #1 Championship plate, silver wine cooler, etc. will look great sitting on the shelf next to Parker's collection of motocross titles!"

LA Cross-Country Series Round 9 of 10 - Hall's Hazzard County Top 15: Notice how close some of the total times were!

Thank You to nearly 500 folks for coming out to Ethel!

LACC Series Rnd 8 of 10, The Don Burgess Memorial Race:

As expected over 500 people poured into Competition Cycle Ranch near Hammond, LA to race and/or watch Round 8 of the LA Cross-Country Series. Andy Beebe (KTM/Scott Equipment/Adrenaline Motorsports/Hutchinson ATV) was second off the start behind Stephen Sturges (Suzuki City/ThermoProbe/Klim) but was able to make the pass and walked away with his first ever LACC Series Overall Win! While in 2nd place Trampas Parker (KTM/Munn/Fly/Arai/TCP MX Schools) was closing in on Beebe right up until getting another flat tire. Parker finished off the race securing 3rd XC1 and 3rd Overall behind "The Sturginator". Mike's Cycle Supply's Evan Shows grabbed his first XC2 Lites victory!
