The sponsors for this race were Moose Racing and RidePG.com. Because of all the rain we weren't able to Race on the nice hilly sections, The course was roughly cut in half we tried to race in most of the sand sections, but there was still some bad low areas that we had to pass threw. The UTV racers probly had the most fun with all the mud and sand even though the trail did claim three UTVs.

Once again Forrest Smith (YAM/Fly/Bayou Suspension) nailed the hole shot in the XC1 class on his Yamaha YZ250 rocket ship. Bryan Vaughan (Moose, Pivot Works, Vertex, Ricochet, Moto Tassinari, Ims) followed right behind threw the first turn then took over the lead on the first lap and never looked back, Dominating the mud race taking first overall. Forrest Smith stays consistent with second overall. Lucas Comeaux (GAS GAS, Enduro Engineering, EKS Brand/MTA, Sidi) His first race ever in LACC makes the podium with third overall. He put in an solid performance challenging  Forrest for second place in the first turn mid way threw the race but Forrest didn't let it happen. Clint Woods and Ethan Bryant Round out the top five.
