AMA/SRT HARE & HOUND NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
VOL. 51 ISSUE 18 MAY 6, 2014 P95
Briefly...
A number of other races in Nevada
spread the THR Motorsports/Mon-
ster Energy/Precision Concepts
Kawasaki team thin and forced
several riders to choose between
the Sage Riders National and sev-
eral other events in Nevada. Robby
Bell, Ricky Brabec's teammate in
Best in the Desert's American Off-
Road Racing Series, had to solo the
Canidae/Tap It Silver State 300 and
ended up third, unofficially, with THR
teammates Matt Gosnell and David
Pearson picking up the win. Then
there was Bel-Ray/FMF/Moose
Racing Husqvarna's Jacob Argu-
bright. The round-five H&H winner
had little choice but to forego the
Sage Riders National in order to pro-
tect his points lead in the AMA West
Hare Scrambles Championship Se-
ries, round six of that series being
run in conjunction with the AMA Dis-
trict 37/GPR Big 6 Grand Prix Series
race in Primm, Nevada. Argubright
ended up a disappointing ninth there
after crashing.
After running second off the start,
Ty Renshaw hit a whoop wrong
and wrenched his back towards the
end of the first loop, forcing him to
retire. He was second in points in
the Open A class going into the race
and should be able to maintain that
position behind class leader Bren-
dan Crow and ahead of third-place
Jacob Bell who both had sub-par
races and gained very little ground in
the points chase.
Brandon Prieto improved his best-
to-date overall finish from seventh
at round four in California to sixth in
Utah.
Quinn Cody made the trip to Utah,
continued on next page
the two-loop race in 2:52:56.
Purvines Racing Beta's Nick Bur-
son came back from a hard crash
in the first few hundreds yards of
the treacherous sand dune bomb
run to claim third in 2:55:07, add-
ing another 21 points to his tally
and remaining the series points
leader.
The Sage Riders Motorcycle
Club laid out two loops in the
Little Sahara Recreation Area
for the Shawn Gerber Memorial
race, the faster first one just over
Ivan Ramirez
got back to his
winning ways at
the Sage Riders
National, leading
from the start and
winning by almost
five minutes.
