ROUND 1 / JANUARY 25-26, 2025 JOHNSON VALLEY OHV / LUCERNE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA OFF-ROAD I AMA HARE & HOUND NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP P84 pert overall after starting on the second row on his Fasthouse Kawasaki. In Pro Women, FMF RPM Rac- ing KTM's Rachel Stout began her quest for a fourth-straight title with a dominant Zane Roberts-esque performance, leading from the outset and besting runner-up Ava Silvestri by nearly seven minutes. "I kind of learned to like the challenge of Lucerne," Stout confided. "I used to not like it at all, then it kind of became more fun to try and get through the challenge, I feel like." But the AEO Powersports/Motorex/ Moose Racing 350 XC-F rider found it really fun trying to race Shirey was able to pick himself up after his late crash to claim fourth in Open Pro and sixth overall ahead of Ryder Thomaselli, the third-place Pro 250, who was making his hare and hound debut a good one aboard his 395 Motorsports/MX Trophies/Fly Racing FX 250. Johnny Campbell Racing (JCR) Honda's Nolan Cate finished in eighth overall and fourth in Pro 250 after holding third through the first loop, with AHM Suspension KTM-mounted Brody Honea fifth in Pro 250. Local youngster Caiden Fen - stermaker rounded out the top 10 overall and was both the first 250cc Expert and the first Ex - rider said, "Not the greatest start and an eventful day. The club designed a tricky course, and navigation was a vital piece of today. It was a long day after I got lost [twice], and I had to put some work in to get back on the top [of the class]. I pushed as hard as I could the whole day!" It was a similar story for Nor - man Racing/Rocky Mountain ATV-MC of St. George/Klim FX 450-mounted Daemon Wool- slayer, who earned third in Open Pro and fourth overall ahead of Pro 250 runner-up Cody Simpson, the Simi Valley Cycles Yamaha/TBT Racing/O'Neal Racing YZ250 rider holding third overall for much of the race. Ryan Watts was the fastest of the Youth racers on Saturday, leading all three laps of the Big Wheel race over Sutton Mills, with Leed Lulis rounding out the podium.
