PRESTON CAMPBELL TAKES D37 CHECK CHASE WIN
The Checkers MC hosted their 72nd annual “Check Chase” Hare and Hound at Spangler OHV near Ridgecrest, CA. The conditions were prime from the recent rains and the club did a great job providing 2 – 40 mile race loops. JCR/Honda’s Preston Campbell had a top 5 start at the bomb, quickly took the lead, and did not look back. At the end of the 1st loop, Preston had opened up a 1-minute gap on the field. At the end of the 80-mile race, Campbell won by a good margin.
