AMA National Western HS Anyone in?? Round 1 of the series at Ryno Land! I am signed for the 0800 Sun 8MAR 2 hour as a Masters B (old and medium slow/fast 40 class) http://www.westernharescrambles.com/home.php
http://www.westernharescrambles.com/home.php this is the replacement for the venerable Tecate HS (not really but that is how I think of it) The pros race 6 (3 hour) starts at 1100 and is worth watching, there should be a fair amount of top offroad pros there. PS just rode RynoLand last Tuesday with a Dirt Rider Magazine event,,that place is epic with super cool single track for the Hare Scramble.
Yes click on there web sight and it says postponed Remember i said we might get lucky and get a little bit of that white stuff , well we got to much.So now we have to wait

more time to install those ugly yellow (WORCS/West HS) number plates !!! and do some more TLC to the Husky,,,broken boot/pipe guard, cracked front fender, broken radiator tab to rad shroud,,,,,repack suspension linkage,,,,,,beat the skid plate back into form,,,replace right foot peg(@1/4-1/2 inch bent back, note: none of this due to crashes,,keep knockin on wood!!!...and bouncing off rocks,, R
this HS is still on my agenda may need to drop my goal of doing the round 3 of the H&H series, the local round, because too many events. and the HS is more my style of fun ride, tight wooded single track. and we have a planned ride coming near the end of Mar, just too many rides for the monthly budget.
no more takers??? c-mon this ride will be epic and truly a tight east coast style (tecate hare scrambles tite) and technical trail ride. Join the fun and the challenge, these things make for good bench racing stories!!
very very very good event, hats off to the Sean Reddish crew, conditions were great ground still held moisture but did have some dust, riders spread out quickly so never a real dust problem. super tight snaky trails most with deep berm ruts,,like being on rails with whip like manzanita to keep you honest, open stuff was all safe and a great bowling ball rock pile section. plus other stuff thrown in , single track sand wash, black muddy area , and a short but fast sweeping right hand dirt road section. the TXC carried me through with minimal effort, looks like 5th SenB from 15 riders (2hr event),,,you guys can ask how ajax did in the 3 hr,,,,, ! with all those really fast guys. great event also about 60-65 deg just perfect. R next week nat h&h then that is it for a while my budget is now out of sorts!!
i forgot,, still don't know who was the husky pro there at rynoland.need to check results list..but at the start the seat dzus came undone or was never secured,,,because his dang seat came off going into the first turn,,,,needless to say he stopped reattached and followed the rest of the AA pack in last place,,,,it looked pretty grim from the sidelines. he went on to reasonable finish, thats racing the simplest thing can ruin your day.
I just looked it up and it show Kevin Urquhart of Kent Wash got 5 in the AA open Pro on a Husky .A lot of the top pros were from Wash Or. and Col .those boys know how to cut thru the trees
Kevin Urquhart of Kent Wash ,,,,,5th from dead last at the start very impressive speed from the kid from Wa. bike sounded real good has the zip ty Jardine muffler installed, motor was crisp
http://www.westernharescrambles.com/results_2009/results_main.asp that is great how the lap times and full results are out !he came from dead last, with that seat issue!!!
