Cor Powersports and MESC brought riders to Lutsen mountain for their season finale. On Saturday the Hill X and Hillclimb races were held alternating between the two. In Hillclimb snocross rider Taylor Cole won pro 600 stock, pro 900 stock, and was the Hillclimb stock king. Cole Nymann won pro 600 mod, 900 mod, and was the mod king. Taylor Cole was the Stock King of Kings and Jake Kurtz was the Mod and Open King of Kings, both qualifying for Jackson. Hill X was an uphill snocross like course that attracted a lot of riders. Taylor was on top again in pro 600 stock and Andrew Lindholm won pro 600 mod. Seth Engel came out on top in the pro 900 stock class, Alec Plaisted was the winner of pro 900 mod, and Mitchell Gross took a win in the open class.
On Sunday the cross-country riders took on the hills competing on a 3.7 mile course. In the pro open class there was a bar to bar battle between Polaris riders Taylor Bunke and Alex Hetteen, with Hetteen coming out on top. Jon Arenson found some good lines to take the win in semi pro stock and Charlie Revering won the semi pro factory class. Zach Herfindahl had a huge lead and won the pro factory 600 class, but started a streak blowing belts in the pro 600 stock race. Herfindahl had an early lead in main event but couldn’t make up enough ground on semipro rider Dan Revering taking his first ever Pro Stock win.
