EPPIG, N.H. — In mid-October, a strong contingent of watercross racers from the Copper Country traveled to Epping, New Hampshire, to participate in the “Race into Winter” event.
James Marietta was able to sweep his way to wins in both pro classes (pro limited and pro open). In doing so, he became the first driver from the west to ever win the East Coast pro classes.
“This is a crazy achievement,” said Dayton Moyle.
Dayton Moyle had his own success over the course of the weekend. He took second behind Marietta in the pro limited class, and then he turned around and won the Dan Hill Cup. He became the 23rd watercross competitor to win the trophy.
In order to win the Dan Hill Cup, competitors go through several rounds of qualifying, where the top three drivers from the west compete agains
