Elkland, PA - As the 1:30 pm start
time approached, thirteen, four wheeled warriors,
made their way to the start of a two hour race.
Awaiting them was a challenging twelve mile course,
laid out by the crew of Miles Mountain. The course
included a great variety of terrain, tight woods,
open woods, creeks, roots, rocks and flat out field
running. The soil was in perfect condition from
the rains earlier in the week, making for lots of
traction in the woods.
At the drop of the green flag thirteen engines
roared to life with Ryan Drake capturing the $100
HYGEAR SUSPENSION hole shot award. As they rounded
the third corner Nathan Thomas had made his way
into the lead, with AMA ATV Hare-Scramble Championship
Series point’s leader Chris Borich, playing
it safe and hanging near the back to let the riders
get into line. That would be short lived though,
as by the 2.5 mile mark Borich had a 20 second
lead. The pack that followed the leader was all
nose to tail with Nathan Thomas leading the crew.

Jarrod McClure, & Chris Borich |
Next was Jarrod McClure followed closely by Mike

continued to add to his lead for the rest of the
lap coming through scoring with a lap time of

his way around Thomas. Next was Adam Parker with
a 1 second lead over Scottie Rich.

Jarrod
McClure was running in 4th place for some
time, but experienced mechanical issues,
which dropped him to the back of the pack |
Scottie
Rich was hard on the gas of his Suzuki ATV
& pushed all the way up to 3rd place
overall behind Chris Borich & Nathan
Thomas |
The second lap saw Borich hold on to the lead,
but Nathan Thomas had moved to second and had
actually closed a little on the leader. Rich now
moved into second with McClure dropping to fourth
23 seconds back. Parker was still in tow only
13 seconds behind the Polaris of McClure. The
biggest mover of the lap was Cory Vickerd up three
spots to the number seven position.

Suzuki's
Chris Borich put on another dominating peformance
at round 3, he ended the race with over
a 3-minute lead on the 2nd place of Nathan
Thomas |
On lap three Borich showed why he is the current point’s leader in three
different series, opening up a 1:47 lead over Rich
who had passed Thomas for second although the two
were banging tires through scoring. Parker had moved
into fourth with Ian Laufersweiler climbing into
fifth with no signs of McClure.
As the race wound down a fierce battle between
Rich and Thomas was developing. Rich was having
trouble turning to the left due to his steering
stabilizer hitting his bumper. This left the door
open for Thomas to make the pass. This was all
for not though as Borich had checked out, leaving
Thomas and Rich to fight it out for second. In
the end Thomas edged out Rich by only four seconds
after two hours of racing. The big mover of the
last lap was Eric Wilczek, climbing to fourth
dropping Parker to fifth.
The race saw a great battle for second as the
point’s leader flexed his muscle. All the
podium riders were complimentary of the track
and the facility. A great day of racing, for fans
and riders alike. Miles Mountain, Elkland, Pa
thanks all the riders and fans for a great weekend.
