Aces High for Crowder at Grange Moor! Raw Enduro Metzelor Sprint Enduro Championship Rounds 5 & 6 – Race Report & Results
RAW Enduro rattled off their final two Sprint Events of 2022 with the best attendance to date. Grange Moor MX complex once again allowed the annual use of two stubble fields to allow Wayne Braybrook to create an awesome best of 3 course. The MX riders were fast on the track and the stubble, then the enduro boys and girls were dragging time back through the trees.
