Elkland, PA -Round number three
of the AMA ATV Harescramble series would find itself
at Miles Mountain MX for the second year in a row
as the facility played host to one of the most popular
series in the country. With sunny skies and temperatures
in the high 80's, Saturdays racing would be held
in almost perfect conditions albeit on the warm
side for June in the mountains!
A 12 mile course awaited the racers that would
offer challenges from a portion of the MX track
to rocks and slick hill climbs as well as a fan
favorite creek jump to separate those who like
to fly from their ground hugging counterparts!
Separated into three races, the day would first
see the future of our sport take the line as the
Youth ATV racing classes mounted their charge
on the Pennsylvania countryside. With the starts
underway, 54 Youth entries would set out to tackle
the course providing some of the best Youth cross-country
racing found anywhere.

The Amateur racing would take the line at 10
am as 119 entries filled the starting area for
their chance to tame the mountain! Row after row
would take off as the starts were underway as
the sound of racing filled the air. Fans quickly
found their favorite spot to watch the action
as the riders filtered in for the completion of
the first lap with the uphill double and the creek
jump being the two hotspots of the day.
The one and half hour race would fly by as the end
neared and the white flag came out signaling one
lap to go. Overall race leader Zac Zakowski was
being hunted down by Landon Wolf who would overtake
Zakowski on the final lap to claim the overall win.
Zakowski would cross the checkered flag in second
followed by Cody Hill who finished third rounding

Cody Hill scecured a third overall &
2nd place in class finish & the creek
jump was the key for Cody passing his way
toward the front of the pack |
"This was a great course and a fun race!
This was my first race with this series and it
was a blast. I did not get a great start but managed
to move from sixth to second at the creek jump
near the end of the first lap. My left grip came
loose right after that and I just had to settle
into my own pace and keep pushing. The course
was long enough to help keep it from getting tore
up but had plenty of challenging sections and
the fields were plenty rough. Overall I am happy
to take third today!," said Cody Hill.
