McDonal Wins AMA East Hare Scrambles
P
erfect track conditions greet-
ed 600 racers for round two
of the AMA East Hare Scrambles
Championship and round two of
the District 6 XC Hare Scramble
Series. Beta's Kyle McDonal
came away with the big win.
When the flag dropped, it was
Ian Potter (Beta) with the hole
-
shot, followed by Owen Barnes
(Husqvarna) and Kenito Held
(Suzuki). A couple of turns later,
Held put his Suzuki into sec-
ond place as they went into the
woods to start lap two. The track
was approximately six miles
long, with a combination of tight
trails, hillclimbs and moto.
The next time around, Held
was out in front, followed by
Barnes. Potter suffered a get-off,
which ended his day early.
Kyle Grenewicz (Yamaha)
and Matt Davis (Yamaha) were
now battling for third, but behind
them was McDonal, who had
gotten off to a bad start and was
coming up fast.
Although Held led the first
eight laps, McDonal would
eventually make the pass on the
leader two laps from the end.
Held didn't give up and contin
-
ued to give McDonal a chase to
the checkered flag. Just a few
seconds separated them at the
finish line.
