WEST HARE SCRAMBLE

KTM's Ty Tremaine may be
one of the top off-road racers
in the country, but he's just like
most moto-enthusiasts and
come Saturday nights, he's
usually glued to a television set
somewhere watching the Mon-
ster Energy AMA Supercross, an
FIM World Championship.
It was no different this past
Saturday night and he was
among tens of thousands of
viewers who watched Eli Tomac
destroy the field by coming from
outside the top 10 off the start
and ending up passing everyone
to win by more than six seconds
over current SX champ Ryan
Dungey.
Unlike most who watched
Tomac's astounding ride in Salt
Lake City, however, Tremaine
channeled that inspiration into a
winning ride of his own the next
day, becoming the fifth different
winner at the Honey Lake Hare
Scramble by Cross Country
Promotions, LLC, at the Honey
Lake Motocross Park, round five
of the Kenda/SRT AMA West
Hare Scramble Regional Cham-
pionship Series. (The race also
served as round eight of both
the AMA District 36 SRT Cham-
pionship Cross-country Series,
Presented by Works Connec-
tion, and the AMA D-36 Motion
Pro Championship Youth Cross-
country Series, Presented by
Racer Decal.)
Except for a short stint when
defending series champ Nick
Burson got around him, Tre-
maine and his CMS/Motorex/
Klim-backed 350 XC-F owned
the race, besting runner-up Max
Gerston by two minutes and 15
seconds with Burson hanging
on for third, 3:49 farther back.
"I think I was first around the
first turn," Tremaine said. "Nick
got around me right there real
quick. Going down the first
wash, I was able to get [back]
around him and then after that, I
just kind of set my sights forward
and charged hard.
"Watching Eli Tomac come
from 15th to a dominant win, it
was incredible!" Tremaine ex-
claimed. "He's got the mindset
of a champion and that's where
I want to be so I just gave it my
all, start to finish."
Beta's Gerston podiumed for
Ty Tremaine got the holeshot and led almost the entire race, becoming the
fifth different winner through the first five rounds of the AMA WHS.
