Class 5
  
George Seeley continued his winning ways at the 97 Laughlin Challenge, completing 10 laps in just over 2 min. 20 seconds. "Sofa Dude" increased his points lead over Mike Jakobson with the victory, and Miggie's dissapointing 4th place showing. With the Baja 1000 just over a month and a half away, Seeley's Championship seems certain.

In addition to the Baja 1000 and likely 97 championship, Seeley has recently been contacted by the "Discovery Channel" and will be appearing on their show "Extreme Machines" with his Class 5 racer. Off-Road.com is happy to have been able to facilitate the deal between Discovery and Seeley, which will bring our sport to an even wider audience.

Pete Shoren ran an outstanding race finishing under 4 min. behind Seeley, and closed the point gap with Jakobson. The battle for second place between the two competitors in the 97 series, will be won or lost at the upcoming 1000

Dave Cua was the last Class 5 to complete all ten laps, and that earned him the 3rd slot in the 97 Laughlin Challenge, just 10 min. behind Shoren. Mike Nix (5th), Neal Grabowski (Class Champion - 1996, 6th) and Tom Brown (7th) rounded out the field with 7,3, and 3 laps completed respectively.
