EVENT NOTES
All weekend, the proceedings in Jacksonville were dominated by the Granger family. A day after Kayla Blood of Soldier Fortune grabbed the Overall Event Championship, her husband Blake Granger of Max-D followed suit. Blake swept the first half of the event, winning Racing, ATV Racing and the 2 Wheel Skills Challenge. After intermission, Soldier Fortune grabbed the Donut victory, and then Blue Thunder’s Matt Cody showed why he’s the reigning Speedster Obstacle Course World Champion by taking the win in that competition. Ultimately, Freestyle proved to be the victory lap for Max-D as Blake Granger finished in first place to cap off a great event for Maximum Destruction. He totaled 41 of 48 points and the second Overall Event victory of the weekend for the Grangers.

EVENT NOTES
In front of 100 service men and women from the Wounded Warrior Foundation and their families, Kayla Blood in Soldier Fortune was the star this afternoon in Jacksonville. She opened the event with a Racing win, defeating Grave Digger’s Krysten Anderson in the Final. After a bit of bad luck in ATV Racing led to a third-place finish, she came back strong to start the second half, finishing in a close second to her husband — Blake Granger of Max-D. Then she was able to get some revenge in the Speedster Obstacle Course, eliminating Max-D in the Semi-Finals, before defeating El Toro Loco in the Finals to earn the win. And while she came up a bit short in Freestyle, ultimately Kayla Blood ended an impressive day with 38 total points and an Overall Event Championship for Solider Fortune.
