THORN DEVLIN 250 RR Race Edition "Round 1 of the AMA East Hare Scramble Series presented by Beta was a challenging, yet fun race. It provided fast, muddy, rooty terrain that was challenging on all levels. It felt great to grab the checkered flag and carry my momentum into the opening round of the GNCC series next weekend."
RACHEL GUTISH 300 RR Race Edition "I'm very excited to take home my first win of the season! Conditions were great the first lap, then the rain started.... it got super slippery with deep ruts everywhere, but I was having a blast! The 300 worked insanely well in the mud. The incredible power made it almost impossible to get stuck in the deep stuff and by riding a gear high I was able to really sail around those slick corners. A mistake on lap one cost me about three minutes, but I was able to regroup, shake it off and charge back up to the front of the pack.”
WORCS Sprint Hero Series, Round 1: Location: Taft, CA Chance Fullerton just missed the Open AA class podium finishing in 4th after long day of battling with teammate Zane Roberts who ended the day in 5th place also in the Open AA class.
CHANCE FULLERTON 430 RR Race Edition "I missed the podium by 3 seconds this last weekend at the Sprint Hero race. It makes me want a podium even more. Time to really start digging deep and getting after it. Thanks to everyone who helps us out!”
ZANE ROBERTS 430 RR Race Edition "I had a lot of fun this weekend at my first Sprint Hero race! I struggled with the high intensity nature of the event from the get go as it's nothing like anything I've ever raced before. I'm not stoked with the result, but I know what I have to work on to improve. I'm looking forward to doing more these races throughout the year!”
