Bobby Garrison and Cory Graffunder of Zip-Ty Racing Husqvarna ended their 2010 season in the best possible way. The Husqvarna duo swept the Baja Tecate Enduro last weekend with a 1-2 finish. Zip-Ty Racing captain Ty Davis also won the senior division, giving Husqvarna enough points to win the overall team competition.
"We had a pretty good day. I think we showed exactly what Team Husqvarna is capable of," Davis said. "It was great to return to the Enduro format. The conditions were perfect... If you like it chilly and wet."
The Tecate Enduro is one of the toughest enduro races in the world, and riders from around the country came to compete in the 50th annual Baja Tecate Enduro event.
Garrison and Graffunder rode two Husqvarna TC450s to earn the top two spots.
"It is really cool here... reminds me of where I grew up in Canada with the sage brush and hills," said Graffunder. "I have never been to Baja before... it is pretty amazing"
Garrison narrowly beat out his teammate for the top spot at the Baja Tecate. Garrison won by just 8 seconds after all three rounds were totaled.
"In addition to the Zip-Ty Husqvarna team topping the Tecate Enduro results," said Corey Eastman, Husqvarna’s National Marketing Manager. "Our National Sales Manager Revelle Harrison and After Sales Manager Andy Jefferson also competed. How's that for "field work' by our managers? This is a great way to set the tone for Team Husqvarna in 2011."
