Lewis Wins Fallen
Timbers, Flynn
Clinches AMA EHE
Championship
P
ennsylvanian Danny Lewis
won the Fallen Timbers Hard
Enduro in Little Hocking, Ohio, on
October 27, while James Flynn
of Morristown, Arizona, clinched
the 2024 AMA East Hard Enduro
Series Championship, presented
by IRC Tire.
The race format was a four-
hour, five-lap race with splits
around the Wildwood Lake Race
-
way. This property has a variety
of terrain, consisting of caves,
creek beds, big rock gardens and
hills that add up to over 2000
feet of elevation gain. There was
a record turnout for this event,
as 146 racers made up all 12 of
the USHE classes. The past few
events here have had very muddy
conditions, as the Wildwood
Lake Raceway is
known to have
the worst mud on
the East Coast,
but the condi
-
tions were dry
this year and was
a nice change for
the racers.
Starting off in rows of 10,
the Pros started battling it out
right off the bat. Quinn Wentzel,
James Flynn, Nick Fahringer and
Danny Lewis were all fighting for
the lead on the first lap. Flynn
and Wentzel then pulled away
from the pack, swapping the lead
multiple times. Fahringer and
Lewis were battling for the final
podium spot, only a few minutes
behind the leaders, until the end
of the third lap when Lewis put
on a charge for the front. Lewis
took over the lead, which was
up to four minutes at one point,
and didn't look back. Flynn pulled
ahead of Wentzel and had a few-
minutes of a gap in the second
position, and Wentzel held his
ground in third place at the end
of the four-hour race.
This was Lewis' first USHE
race win, and was a monumental
victory for him, as he missed
most of the season due to health
reasons.
Flynn, earning a second place
on the day, clinched his spot as
the 2024 AMA East Hard En
-
duro Series, presented by IRC
Tire, Champion, his first USHE
Regional Championship. Flynn
actually raced the EnduroCross
race in Idaho on Friday night, flew
to Ohio on Saturday, and raced
the Fallen Timbers Hard Enduro
on Sunday. Flynn didn't miss a
USHE race all season, and his
Championship was hard-earned
and well-deserved.
The Fallen Timbers Hard
Enduro was the final USHE race
of the 2024 season, and the
2025 season is right around the
corner. The full USHE schedule
is nearing completion and will be
released shortly.
