SMEAD & POWELL ROCK TO AN OVERALL...

Congratulations to the team of Cain Smead and Shannon Powell for their Overall and PRO 1000 Class win at the first event of the five-event series, the PURE "125" - The team completed the four laps in a time of 2:54:06.8 hrs. for 124.5 miles..

Second Overall nine minutes behind was Logan Gastel and Brad Longfellow, with a time of 3:03:26.9.

And rounding out the top three Overall and PRO 1000 Class winners was Josh Westling and dad, Jim Westling, with a time of 3:03:39.9, just 13 seconds out of second place.

The race was to have a Land Rush style start but at the last minute racers took of on 10-second intervals. All the times had to be adjusted accordingly to each racer's start time.

Great racing, perfect Cal City weather, and no one was involved in a incident or accident, which other than several rollovers and a few wheels coming off, it is great news. More on this later

STATE FARM INSURANCE & EVAN DIETERICH AGENCY

SPONSORS OF THE PURE “1000” - 2014 1K-KUP

CALIFORNIA CITY, CA – Feb 17, 2014 – Evan Dieterich owner of the Evan Dieterich State Farm Insurance Agency, Redlands, CA, signed up today as the “Official Sponsor” of the PURE “1000” OFF-ROAD DESERT SERIES “1K-KUP” YEAR-END AWARD

Evan a racer himself wants to put back something into the sport and decided that sponsoring the “1K-KUP” would be right up his alley. The 1K-KUP is awarded to the racer (team) who completes all five races in the series and finishes with the highest Overall points. The 2014 five-event series consist of the PURE “125” in February, followed by the “175” – “200” – “225” and the final event of the season the “275,” which all add up to one thousand miles of “pure” fun and “pure” racing in the open deserts of California City, CA.

Last year’s KUP winners went to the team of Josh and Jim Westling as they completed the most miles of any team in 2013. They edged out second place finisher by less than 50 miles.

This year’s PURE Series has been shortened a bit to a total of 1000 miles, which still is quite an accomplishment as the deserts of California City feature just about every type of terrain that you can find in California, Nevada and Baja but in short spurts.

AVE welcomes State Farm’s Agency and Evan Dieterich to the fold of major sponsors of the series. Please go to www.averacing.com for more details.
