IN THE WIND P46 OLIVEIRA WINS AMA EAST VS. WEST HARE SCRAMBLES D ante Oliveira (FMF/Maxxis/RPM Racing KTM) watched the entire Pro line race away at the start of the Kenda/SRT AMA East vs. West Hare Scramble Shootout, Presented by Mojo Motorsports, his bike reluctant to start until the field was two turns away. But that turned out to be a temporary setback. By the second time around the 13.4-mile loop, he'd sliced through the pack aboard his Motorex/Nor- Cal Motorsports/Klim-sponsored 350 XC-F and moved into the lead which he held until the finish after two hours, 47 minutes and four seconds, marking his second win of the year, in Stillwater, Oklahoma, October 6-7. Oliveira didn't run away with it, though, as Gray Area KTM'S Devan Bolin—one of the early leaders— latched onto him and stayed threateningly close until the final lap, finishing 25 seconds behind for a West Hare Scrambles (WHS) 1-2. Dante Oliveira tore through the pack and won for the second time this season, moving him up to second in points. (Below) The FMF Pro 250 class saw Dillon Sheppard (117) and Jeremy Wilton this close in the early going, but Wilton managed to break away for the win.
