Dubach Holds Off Walters for Title

Doug Dubach’s career as full-time motocross racer is over, but when he saw the shortened schedule for this year’s U.S. Off-Road Championship series, he thought it was worth a full-time commitment.

Dubach, who lives in Tustin, won the third and final stop of the series at Edison Field Saturday night, taking the hole shot in the Thunder Bikes class and holding off three-time points champion Brian Walters for the third consecutive week.

“I put my head down and I knew I was going to run the whole series this year and so I wanted to win every race.” said Dubach, a five-time veterans’ champion and two-time world four-stroke champion. “Before the race I decided if something came up I might have to hang back, but that’s not what happened, I got the start I wanted and I went for the win.”

The Sports Trucks class provided the best final of the evening as Chris Brandt and Jason Crowder traded the lead before Crowder tapped Brandt on the rear and spun him out with two laps remaining, giving Crowder the lead for good and the points title.

Tim Farr also completed his season sweep in the Pro Quads class.

Alta Loma’s Beau Briggs won the Stadium Lites class after taking the lead on the fourth lap. Briggs’ father, Bob, won the same class in Anaheim last year.

Larry Foddrill, who was second at the previous two stops, won the Super Modified Buggy class.
