Hayford Ford Adds Bonus Cash To “The Jesse” Payout

ByGary Walton

Hayford Ford of Isanti, Minnesota is returning as a major contributor to the Jesse Thelen Memorial at BCMX Adventure Park on June 10-11. Jeff Hayford and family are avid off-road riders and, like many of us, knew Jesse through both motorcycle and snowmobile racing.

For the 2023 race, Hayford is contributing $500 to the winner’s share of the AA class payout, as well as $500 worth of entry fees that will be randomly dispersed among the amateur classes to be used at any of the remaining Border Battle XC Triple Crown events this summer.

In 2022 the “Jesse” race had one of the largest Pro fields and payouts in the entire country with $10,000 going out to the top 10 finishers.

To qualify for the added cash or be picked for a free entry, riders must display a Hayford Ford decal on their front fender or number plate during the Jesse Memorial weekend. Decals will be available at signup and at the BBXC merch trailer on both Saturday and Sunday.
