Back-To-Back
R
ed Bull FMF/KTM Factory Rac-
ing's Trystan Hart made it two
overall wins in a row with a solid
but intense performance at the
Slavens Racing AMA EnduroCross
Series presented by Progressive
Insurance at the Findlay Toyota
Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona,
on October 19. It was round two
of the six-round series.
Having won the series opener
last week in Colorado, the
defending series champ, Hart,
came into Arizona hoping to
build on his lead in the series
standings over last week's
runner-up Triumph Factory rider
Jonny Walker. Hart did just that,
managing the tight and tricky
course to go 1-2-2 in the three
motos to claim the overall win
ahead of Rockstar Husqvarna
Factory Racing's Colton Haaker's
2-4-1 moto finishes, while Walker
went 3-3-3 for third overall.
Hart took a flag-to-flag victory
in the first moto but had to over
-
come a couple of near misses in
the final two races to secure the
overall win.
"That's two weekends in a row
I've got a massive point lead
going into the last race, and I
almost screwed it up, so I'm not
super happy with the win," said
Hart. "I had some close calls
tonight so I'm happy to come out
healthy. I had a massive scare in
moto two, where I almost fell off
the barrel and that would have
been bad. So, I need to clean
some stuff up. But all in all, a
win's a win, and that's always a
good thing."
Haaker set the tone for the
evening program by turning the
fastest Hot Lap with a time of
31.336 seconds, the five-time se
-
ries champion making amends
for his disappointing sixth-over-
all finish the week before in Col-
orado. Rieju's Dominik Olszowy
was second-fastest, with a time
of 32.446, while Walker (32.588),
Hart (33.217) and GasGas' Will
Riordan (33.785) rounded out
the top five.
