under attack from Let's Ride/
KTM of Aspen/SRT Husqvarna
FX 450-mounted Clayton Gerst-
ner who left his sole 250cc race
bike at home in order to save it
for the AMA Hare & Hound finale
next week.
"Last year here, I was third
overall on a 250F, so I knew my
speed's there," Gerstner said. "I
just knew I needed to ride smooth
all day. I was trying my best—those
boys were riding good!"
The two actually battled back
and forth until Gerstner hit some-
thing in the dust and endoed at
speed on a fast uphill on the last
lap. That was all Serpa needed
to cruise to the finish where he
enjoyed a nine-second gap over
Gerstner with Campbell holding
on to third.
After friends the night before
talked him into racing, first-time
WHS racer Cam Horner, aboard
his new CRF450RX, was glad
he decided to give it a go, not
only winning Open A but finishing
fourth overall, albeit with 14 laps
done compared to the 15 com-
pleted by the top three.
Fifth overall belonged to Pro
250 winner Shane Logan, the
3 Bros./Kilmartin Racing/FXR
KTM-mounted rider pushing his
streak to five in a row to extend
his points lead over Kawasaki of
Modesto's Zachary Kerling, the
class runner-up.
Carson City Motorsports
KTM's Ryder Thomaselli earned
the 250cc A victory in finishing
sixth overall after some intense
pressure from eventual class
runner-up Seth Sadorra whose
Kenda KTM ran strong the entire
race, a couple of small spills mak-
ing the difference.
Electric Authority KTM rider
Carter Stears finished eighth
overall and second Open A
followed by Kerling and 200cc
B winner Ky Gentry aboard his
Answer Racing KTM.
Earlier, FMF/Maxxis/RPM
Racing KTM's Kaitlyn Jacobs
took the Pro Women victory, mov-
ing her for the first time into the
class points lead over defending
champ Sharon Mowell, who was
second on her MojoMotoSport
Yamaha with Let's Ride KTM-
mounted Ashlee Gage third for
the second weekend in a row.
However, upsetting all of the
Pros was motocrosser Sienna
Brown on her Rekluse KTM who
took the morning race overall, as
well as Women B. On Saturday,
she won the Big Wheel class.
Next on the schedule is the
double race weekend in Oklaho-
ma for rounds six and seven.
