| Roberts Secures Hard Fought Podium at Technical Glen Helen WHS
Round four of the AMA West Hare Scrambles Regional Championship Series brought a grueling, highly technical challenge to Glen Helen Raceway, where Liqui Moly Beta’s Zane Roberts put together a resilient performance to claim third overall. Roberts got an excellent jump off the line aboard his Beta Factory 480 RR, entering the famous Talladega first turn wheel-to-wheel with the front runners. However, after choosing an inside line on the opening hill climb that ultimately left him shuffled back, he was forced to battle through a wall of brutal, blinding dust. The loop proved to be exceptionally demanding, packed with tight, first-gear single-track sections that left zero room for error over the two-and-a-half-hour grind. Despite losing touch with the leaders in the early laps while fighting the heavy dust and technical terrain, Roberts settled into a relentless pace to comfortably lock down a third-place finish in the premier Pro/AA division, keeping himself firmly in the thick of the championship hunt. |
