National Hare & Hound – Round 9

Lucerne Valley, CA

Beta Racing had a great season-ending race at the Hare and Hound series last weekend. Good results across the entire team made for a fun weekend. Zane Roberts was on a mission to put his bike on the top step of the podium this year. He reached the top three in every race but one this year, yet the top spot had alluded him all season. On Sunday, however, he would not be denied. Zane rode strong and determined to pick up 1st place in the Open Pro Class. Morgan Tanke Colón after driving all night from EnduroCross the night before showed up to the race not sure how she would perform. But from the start, she felt strong and after coming into the pits in 2nd, she felt confident she could take the lead. She was able to track down the leader and pass her to take 1st place in the Pro Women class. After wrapping up the Pro Championship last round, Joe Wasson, rode a Beta 125 RR in the Open Pro and had a ton of fun doing it. Wasson was competitive on the 125, finishing 5th in his class and 8th overall on the day.

Zane Roberts – 1st – Open Pro

EnduroCross – Round 4

Prescott Valley, AZ

As mentioned above, this was the first of two events for Morgan this weekend. Out of the gates, Morgan wasn’t able to get off to the best start with some mistakes costing her time in the race. She was able to hang on to third place for her fourth straight podium finish in the series. Tim Apolle has been through the wringer since the last race in Texas. He injured his knee in that event and days after his race bike and equipment were stolen out of his van. He was able to overcome those setbacks and turn out a respectable finish considering the obstacles that were in front of him.

Results:

Morgan Tanke Colón – 3rd – Women’s Pro

Tim Apolle – 7/8/6 – 7th – Super EnduroCross

GNCC – Round 13

Crawfordsville, IN

In the wildest event this year, The Ironman GNCC was one for the ages. An already soggy facility received non-stop rain the entire weekend turning the race track into a river in some spots. At the starting line, race officials shortened the event to a two-hour race due to the waning sunlight. Both riders got a good jump off the line and were in the top three heading into the woods. After the first lap, Thorn Devlin was in 4th and Max had pushed up to 2nd. The following lap course conditions took a turn for the worst and most spots were seat deep of water leading to issues for every rider in the race. Max was unable to finish the race with the mud gunking up his bike. Thorn was able to push on and fought hard for a 5th place finish.

Results:

Thorn Devlin – 5th – XC2

Max Fernandez – 8th – XC3
