Lucerne Valley, CA — The weekend of June 5  saw a great turnout for for the third event of the 2021 MORE season as 117 race teams converged in Lucerne Valley for the McKenzie’s 250. The Weddle Perfect 10 Challenge, a special event for Class 10 racers, was held in conjunction with the race. As with all Weddle Shootout events this season, the Weddle Perfect 10 Challenge delivered heated action and fun for all.

 

The Weddle Perfect 10 action started bright and early with qualifying on Saturday morning before the main event. Class 10 teams blazed the 3 mile qualifying loop for top starting positions and the Weddle Top Qualifier check. 1099 Ezra Ebberts earned the first start and a $1000 check for his work.

The action for the main event was fast and furious on the 42 mile loop. In the end, 1087 Ivan Tagle was crowned first ever Weddle Perfect 10 Challenge Champion. 1099 Ezra Ebberts finished close behind in second and Tom Coons grabbed the third place check in Weddle S5-equipped 1055. Coons also brought home the $1000 Weddle Fast Lap check.
