Hart Wraps Up Perfect Season
T
rystan Hart wrapped up the
AMA IRC U.S. Hard Enduro
Series (USHE), presented by In-
side Enduro season, with another
dominant victory for a perfect
season.
The Locked and Loaded
Shotgun Enduro at the Red Rock
Lodge in Sugarloaf, Pennsylva-
nia, was the home to the final
USHE round, and was a first-
year hard-enduro event at this
beautiful 4000-acre property.
The father-son team of Mike and
Mike Soudas traveled to each
round, scoring the entire series,
and were simultaneously plan-
ning and promoting this final
round with their club, the High
Mountain Dirt Riders. The course
consisted of dense forests,
creeks, steep hills and endless
sharp rocks that were constantly
being relocated.
The race started on Saturday
with two prologue qualifiers each
for two class groupings. In the
Pro class, Ryder LeBlond led the
first prologue by only a second
ahead of Hart, and Hart led
the second prologue by only a
second ahead of LeBlond. They
were very close to each other
during both races, but it was Hart
who ended up having the best
cumulative time for the day. Trials
champion Pat Smage finished
third for both races, reinforcing
the notion that he is a serious
contender in the hard-enduro
world.
In the other prologue grouping
consisting of the B, C and Youth
classes, AMA West and East Re-
gional Extreme Off-Road B Class

Trystan Hart finished
off a perfect season at
the Locked and Loaded
Shotgun Enduro in
