We once again closed the book on another successful year! The South Chapter Gang headed out to Pechanga Resort Casino this past weekend to celebrate and award those who stood out the most during the 2023 season.
We setup the banquet in the Eagles View Ballroom, located on the roof of Pechanga. We started with drinks, ate dinner, then gave out awards for the top riders (while we drank some more). The night wrapped up with more socializing and fun at the resort!
- The Top 20 overall South Chapter finishers all received custom embroidered jackets
- The Top 10 overall South Chapter finishers received custom jerseys (courtesy of RHMX) and trophies in addition to the custom jackets
- The Top 3 National Series finishers received trophies
- The top overall Skill Finishers received trophies
Iron Man trophies (which are by far the largest given out) were given to those that attended every event and completed every moto in 2023. Here are the 2023 Iron Man winners:
- Byran Dodge Sr
- Dustin Smith
- Chris Cumbo
In addition, there are Specialty Trophies given out every year to folks who win on AND off the track. These are truly some of the best people in the OTHG:
- Rider of the Year: Bryan Dodge Sr
- Jim Holman Sportsman of the Year: Scott Hartwick
- Most Improved Rider: Adam Bricker
- Rookie of the Year: Matt Adams
- OTHG Clutch Award: Criss “TooTall”
- OTHG Lifetime Membership: Richard Hurtado
