Oliveiras Dominate Oregon West Hare
Scrambles
T
hough conditions were wildly
different from round one,
the result was the same at the
Timber Mountain Hare Scramble
hosted by the Motorcycle Rider's
Association (MRA), round two of
the AMA West Hare Scrambles
(WHS) Regional Championship
Series, presented by MojoMo-
toSport, on April 14. Dante and
Mateo Oliveira of the FMF KTM
Factory Racing Off-Road Team
went 1-2 with 3Bros./Hatch
Racing GasGas ace Giacomo
Redondi claiming third.
In Pro 250, FMF RPM Racing
KTM's Jaden Dahners reveled
in the muddy conditions over
round-one winner Layton Smail,
with Ryder Thomaselli third
again.
Vet Pro 35+ saw Eric Steven
-
son pick up the win after early
leader Devin Watson discovered
he'd misjudged fuel consump-
tion. The five gallons he'd
brought were not enough for his
Husky TC 125 to go a sixth lap.
Thus, he opted to wait before the
finish rather than certainly run
out while trying to milk another
12-plus miles and settled for
second; defending class champ
James McMurray was third.
GasGas-supported rider Ava
Silvestri got Sunday started
by bouncing back from a last-
place start to claim her second-
straight Pro Women win of the
season ahead of newcomer
Megan Griffiths, Beta-supported
Britney Gallegos snatching third
in the final minutes.
Though Mateo Oliveira got the
holeshot and led initially on his
Red Bull/Motorex/Alpinestars-
sponsored 350 XC-F, 2022 series
champ Redondi ended up in
front of the pack aboard his
FMF/Acerbis/Seven EX 450F
despite a goggle-fogging issue

Dante Oliveira led an
Oliveira 1-2 at the Timber
Mountain Hare Scramble,
with Mateo just one
second behind at the
finish after leading early.
