Any Given Sunday – Round 7

Ridgecrest, CA

Round 7 of the NHHA was in Ridgecrest for the Any Given Sunday Hare & Hound, a nod to the 50th anniversary of the iconic film. The riders were met with 90-degree weather and visible haze from wildfires nearby. Off the line and coming thru the bomb run, Zane Roberts was sitting in third with teammate Joe Wasson close behind in 5th. When they arrived at the first pit they had both climbed positions to 2nd and 3rd respectively. On the second loop in a matter of seconds, Joe was able to go from 3rd to 1st when he passed Zane and the leader. He was able to hold on to the rest of the race for the win. Joe retained the overall lead in the series with Zane in second. Morgan Colón didn’t have a great start. She went down hard on the first lap and came thru the pits in 4th. She was able to rally and make a pass for 3rd putting her on the podium at the end of the day.

GNCC – Round 11 – Burr Oak

Millfield, OH

The GNCC series returned to Millfield, Ohio for the second time this year for the Burr Oak. This time around the conditions were more favorable because of the cool temperature and moisture in the ground. When the green flag flew, Thorn’s 250 RR lit up and he was off the line in a hurry to pick up the holeshot. He headed into the woods jockeying for position trying to elbow out the competition. Early in the first lap to collided with a tree which pushed him back into tenth place. Despite the crash, he was back on the bike racing hard and making passes to finish in 8th place in the XC2. In the XC3 race, Max Fernandez was looking good on his 125 RR and racing strong with the pack. Ultimately he was a victim of some bad luck with the bike and ended up in 8th place as well. The next race is in a couple of weeks in West Virginia.

Thorn Devlin – 8th – XC2
