Devlin Tops Harpersville East
Hare Scrambles
B
eta's Thorn Devlin
took the overall win
at the Harpersville, New
York, round of the SRT
AMA East Hare Scrambles
Championship, June 21.
Devlin, however, had to
work for it, because "The
Batman" Benjamin Bauw-
ens (Yamaha) wanted the
win just as badly as Devlin
and put up a good fight.
The two went at it heavily
midway through the race
before Devlin managed
to break away slightly and
hold on for the win.
Devlin and Bauwens
weren't alone, either,
because Dominick Morse
(KTM) was right there, too.
All three riders said
afterward that the heavily
wooded track and muddy
conditions added up to a
challenging racecourse that saw all of
the front-runners going down at least
once.
Fellow Beta rider Kyle McDonal
took fourth followed by Neil Enman
(Husqvarna).
Approximately 90 riders made up
the morning's Youth race, and the
overall winner came from the second
row. Owen Barnes (Kawasaki), signed
up in the Supermini (12-13), worked his
way up through the field, got around
early leaders Bailey Flynn (Suzuki) and
Brock Dennison (Kawasaki), and went
on to take the win. Dennison ended
up second with Flynn filling out the
podium.
Owen Planty (KTM) topped the
40-rider-strong Pee Wee 50cc race.
