2015 Terracross Championship Rounds 5 & 6 November 1, 2015 Glamis, California

The track took its toll on the field with many RZRs suffering plugged radiators due to the sandy surface. The track was built by Luburgh and fellow competitor Dana Creech at the Imperial Sand Dunes, using sand, gravel, and chain link fencing on the faces of some of the jumps.

Creech, who added a third-place finish to his 2015 tally here, was pleased with the way the track held up. “We were able to dig down a little ways and get some granite gravel,” said Creech. “That held up really well. Jason put a fence over the faces of the jumps to keep the takeoffs together and it worked awesome. We didn’t touch a jump all weekend.”

Jason Luburgh & Dana Creech overcame an incredible challenge of building a challenging Terracross course in the sand that held up for an entire weekend of racing at Glamis Camp RZR

Luburgh was relieved at how well the track held together: “I was worried about building this course. We started with sand, and I didn’t think it was going to hold together. The desert guys seemed to like it a little more, which was cool.”

UTV Underground’s Mitch Guthrie Jr saved everything for the last race by winning his first race of the season after experiencing more than his share of bad luck this season. Hanco Utilities’ Cole Cottew finished second, ahead of Jagged X Racing’s Brandon Schueler.

“We definitely had a tough season so it was nice to come out of the last race with a win,” said Guthrie Jr. “It was really cool to do it in front of the whole Camp RZR crowd. I’ve had a lot of bad luck in the heats and that put in the back in the finals this year. I started on the front row today and missed all of the carnage. I got the lead and led every lap.”

Speaking of desert guys, multi-time BITD Pro UTV champion, Brandon Schueler, finished third in the second race of the weekend in his TerraCross debut. Schueler was filling in for Andy Ives and drove from last place to earn the final spot on the podium.

“I qualified absolutely dead last; I literally was the last person to qualify for that race,” said Schueler. “It was a combination of not breaking and being in the right place at the right time that gave me the podium. I haven’t done anything like this. It was definitely intimidating and not was I was used to, but I had fun doing it.”
