HART TOPS GORMAN WESTERN
HARE SCRAMBLES
A
fter more than three hours of
intense, fully focused racing
around a rougher-than-normal
course based at the Quail Can-
yon Motocross Track, Trystan
Hart (SRT Husqvarna) had no
idea he'd won the Gorman Hare
Scrambles (which was put on
by the Prospectors Motorcycle
Club).
But it was true. After finishing
the event that served as round
three of the Kenda/SRT AMA
West Hare Scrambles Regional
Championship Series, Presented
by Mojo Motorsports, the Kenda/
Motul/O'Neal Racing-backed
Husqvarna FX 350-mounted
Canadian said, "I didn't think I'd
won—I thought Nick Burson won.
I didn't know that he'd pulled out
after the first lap [after damaging
his radiator].
"Me, Dante [Oliveira] and Trev-
or Stewart were kind of playing
cat-and-mouse because we were
on different [pit schedules], so
I was catching them, they were
catching me. Then Dante broke
a chain on the second-to-last lap
and Trevor Stewart went down in
the sand whoops. I thought I was
in second, but I guess I was in
first."
Second at the first two rounds,
Hart's first triumph of the season
made up for this race last year
when he finished a disappointed
ninth.
Stewart's untimely departure
moved everyone up a spot with
series visitor Ryan Smith making
it an SRT Husqvarna 1-2, finishing
four minutes behind his team-
mate.
"I got a good start and led on
the moto track for a little bit until
Burson got by me and I followed
him around the first lap then
Dante got by me," the Shorai/
IMS/Sidi-backed Husqvarna FX
