Guatemala’s Francisco Arredondo and Shane Esposito combined their efforts to win this year’s running of the Best In The Desert American Off-Road Racing Series’ Vegas-To-Reno run, staged in Beatty, Nevada, on August 15.
The duo completed the run in nine hours, 20 minutes and 29 seconds, with the team of Nick Burson & Axel Pearson finishing less than three minutes behind in nine hours, 23 minutes and 23 seconds. Max Eddy Jr., riding solo, crossed the line in an admirable nine hours, 52 minutes and 17 second. Justin Morgan, who was also riding solo, finished fourth on his DP Racing/ San Diego Powerhouse/ Klim-sponsored YZ450F in 10 hours, 15 minutes and 41 seconds.
