OFF-ROAD I AMA EAST-WEST HARE SCRAMBLES SHOOTOUT
WORDS AND PHOTOS BY MARK KARIYA
T
hough like many of his East
compatriots, Beta's Kyle Mc-
Donal had already wrapped
up his Championship, he made the
long drive to the private Stillwater
500 venue worth it by topping both
days of the third AMA East-West
Hare Scrambles Shootout double-
header weekend over a much
larger contingent of racers from the
West.
The two days served as the final
rounds (eight and nine) of the AMA
East Hare Scrambles Regional
Championship Series, Presented
by Beta, while simultaneously being
rounds six and seven of the AMA
West Hare Scrambles Regional
Championship Series, Presented
by MojoMotoSport. There is only
the finale left in that (West) series,
and it takes place in two weeks.
While McDonal had already
clinched the title in the East for the
fourth time, the West crown remains
in play, with points leader Austin Ser-
pa taking third on Saturday behind
McDonal and West racer Blake Best,
but suffering several injuries (pos-
sible internal bleeding and a concus-
sion as well as trauma to his pelvic
region) in a major crash on Sunday.
The Carson City Motorsports KTM
rider still leads, but his margin is
down to 22 points, 136-114, after 3
Bros/Kilmartin Racing KTM's Shane
Logan went 6-4 overall in clinching
the Pro 250 Championship.
After a couple of
bad starts, East
HS champ Kyle
McDonal stormed
back to win
both days of the
AMA East-West
Hare Scrambles
Shootout in
Oklahoma.
MCDONAL
DOES
THE DOUBLE
