This year’s race included over 275 entries from 25 States and 12 countries (U.S., Mexico, Austria, Canada, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, and Portugal). The total mileage of this year’s race was 432.51 miles (4 checkpoints). The race course was laid out over some of Baja California’s most challenging deserts, mountains and valleys. ICG’s Team Riders (Juan Luis Villasenor, Gerardo Huerta, Daniel Huerta, Alberto Cota and Salvador Sainz) were supported by a large Pit Crew made up of family and friends. The Pit Crew assisted the riders with radio communications, mechanical support, map reading, logistical coordination and of course, lots of CHEERING! The team got a great start and by mile marker 167, the team was in fourth place in their class and coming on strong. Unfortunately, a mechanical engine problem caused the engine to shut off at mile marker 171 and the team was out of the race. We’re already making plans to gear up for the 2009 Baja 1000 in November! Thanks to our co-sponsor on this year’s Baja 500 Race Team – THX Transport, LLC, SA Corp., S.D. PartsTruck, Reliable Plumbing & Drain Service and Adelita Bar.

After all five laps of racing were completed...Nando came home with a 4th place overall trophy!

ICG Racing Results - August 31, 2008

ICG's Fernando Huerta Jr. participated in the 2008 CMMC Mini-National Motocross Event at Barona Oaks on August 30 and 31. This annual race is the highlight of CMMC's motocross season and has riders coming from out of state to compete in the two day event. A practice session crash three days prior to the event left Nando with a deep bruise on his knee, and a severe mechanical problem with his motorcycle also left his participation questionable.

Fernando raced with a heavily bandaged knee and finished 14th out of 26 riders in a highly competitive 65cc Jr Cycle class. This class included many riders from outside San Diego County and riders who get full factory support by companies such as KTM and Kawasaki.

Local CMMC rider Taylor Craig (CMMC #777), who recently left the 65cc class for the 150cc class, let Fernando borrow her motorcycle so he could participate in the event. Taylor also had some very impressive races this weekend...blowing by many of the boys in her class! Thanks Taylor for the support!

ICG Racing Heads South of the Border!

ICG Racing’s Fernando “Nando” Huerta participated in his first international race on July 20, 2008. Nando ventured south of the border to Tecate, Baja California, Mexico to race in the La Puerta Racing Club’s 2008 Tecate Off-Road Challenge. This race was unlike the closed track racing Nando usually participates because the course consisted of four 9 mile loops in a “track” marked by color specific flags, through the unforgiving Baja desert. This race also grouped riders of various ages and motorcycle sizes all going for the checked flag at the same time!

Nando got off to a slow start and was caught behind a group of riders who were older and on larger motorcycles in the first lap. Nando worked himself up to a respectable place “mid-pack” by the second lap and continued closing in on the leaders. Nando’s hard work paid off and at the final flag…Second Place in the 65cc class!

Nando returned home with a cool Second Place trophy and a strong desire to return to Mexico for future races.

Race Weekend #5 of the 2008 Barona Oaks Motocross Season took place on June 28, 2008. This race weekend was very special in that it marked ICG Racing’s Fernando “Nando” Huerta’s first venture into the competitive 65cc Jr. Cycle Class. Nando was recently promoted to the 65cc Jr. Cycle class after winning the 2008 Intro to Motocross 65cc Spring Series.

Moto #1 – Nando’s main focus for this first race weekend was to familiarize himself with the new track. The 65cc Jr. Cycle class races on Barona Oak’s Main Track #1, which is full of the major obstacles seen at professional motocross tracks, such as tabletop jumps, whoop sections, steep down-hills and a major “Step-up” main jump. Nando rode to a respectable 5th place finish.

Moto #2 – Nando got a good start off the gate and found himself mid-pack for most of the 5 lap race. Nando took advantage of a few of the other riders’ falls and mishaps to finish in 4th place.

Nando’s 5-4 race results were good enough for a 3rd Place finish and a spot on the podium!

ICG Racing Results - June 15, 2008

The 2008 Father’s Day Race at Barona Oaks Motocross Park took place on June 15, 2008 and it proved to be a very exciting event.

Nando got off to a slow start at the starting gate in Moto #1 and had to fight his way to a 2nd place finish. Moto #2 saw Nando getting off to a much better start and actually grabbed the “holeshot” by being the first rider into the first turn after the gate dropped. Nando never looked back and rode to a first place finish. The 2-1 finish gave him an overall First Place finish for the weekend.

Nando captured the 2008 Spring Series Championship (a four race series-in which a rider must compete in a minimum of three races) for his class by accumulating enough 1st and 2nd place finishes. Nando was presented with a 2008 Spring Series Championship plaque. Congratulations Nando!

Unfortunately, we received word that the TOO MUCH FUN race scheduled for April 26 in Rosarito, Baja California-Mexico has been postponed.

Nando Received a free pair of SCOTT Goggles and a free entry into the next CMMC race. After exchanging the lead several times with another local CMMC rider, he finished in second place.

A steady over-night and early morning rain made race conditions for Moto #2 extremely MUDDY!

Moto #2 once again saw Nando grab the Holeshot Award (free FMF hat) and make his way to a very muddy, hard fought, second place finish...giving him second place overall for the 65cc Intro To MX Class.

A very exciting moment at the track occurred when Fernando was one of several riders who where presented with a Qualifier Trophy for the 2007 CMMC Season. Qualifier Trophies are presented to riders who accumulate enough podium finishes throughout the race season.
