Baylor Wins SC AMA East Hare Scrambles
S
herco's Grant Baylor won
the co-sanctioned AMA
East Hare Scrambles and Mid-
East Hare Scrambles round in
Laurens, SC, May 24. He put
his mud-riding experience to
good use in this one.
West Virginia's Sam Evans
(KTM) was the early leader of
the Pro/AA class. But Evans
gave way to Brody Johnson
(Honda) during the first lap
and looked as though he
might hold on to take the win.
But when a brief thunderstorm
dumped two inches of rain
in approximately 10 minutes,
things started to unravel for
Johnson. That's when Baylor
came alive on the slippery
racecourse and started to
gain on Johnson.
Baylor eventually caught
and passed Johnson and
went on to take the win over
the Honda rider.
Beta's Thorn Devlin, who
was always lurking close be-
hind in third place, ended up
finishing there.
Evans ended up finishing
fourth while Jonathan John-
son (Honda) rounded out the
top five overall.
The top B-class finisher was
Nathan Dulaney of the B 200
class.
In the morning race,
Makenzie Tricker (KTM) and
Rachel Gutish (Beta) fought
it out for the win, with Tricker
coming out on top by less than a
minute over Gutish.
Super Senior Patrick Tobine
(KTM) was third overall.
Caleb Lane won the Youth
event with Clint Beshears and
Colton Shields finishing second
and third, respectively.
Gavin Harwell (KTM) and
Bently Sason (KTM) battled back
and forth in the Pee Wee 50
class with Harwell coming out on
top. Abram Shields was third.
