learned a lot with some great
challenges.
"I'm just so happy because
it's not easy to defend a cham-
pionship and we did it. I would
love to get more championships
from here and I can't see why
we wouldn't. The RM-Z450 has
been great all year and the team
was really able to get the best
out of it. Thank you to everybody
who has played a part and been
involved along the way!"
Second in the championship

Arbon.
Matt Moss claimed the Australian Na-
tional MX Championship in the MX1

NHHA PLANNING MEETING
SETS FUTURE COURSE
T
he National Hare & Hound
Association (NHHA) met with
team representatives, promoter
club members, sponsors and
riders in Burbank, California, on
August 27 to discuss the SRT
AMA Hare & Hound National
Championship Series and how
to improve it.
Among the changes were
naming Erek Kudla as the series
director. He'll attend every race
and be the last word when it
comes to interpreting the rules.
The Kurt Caselli Foundation
- represented by Quinn Cody -
announced that it will send the
vastly experienced Paul Krause
to each race in order to pre-ride
the course to verify markings,
which should make for more
consistency. Nationals should
be closer to 100 miles if at all
possible. The NHHA will also
strive to make pit area layouts
more consistent, and it will also
host a pit for racers who are new
or don't belong to a club or oth-
erwise have their own pit sup-
port.
Seven rounds are on the ten-
tative schedule for next year with
two additional rounds currently
being considered.
In addition, the NHHA an-
The AMA Hare & Hound National Championship
is looking for ways to improve the series.
