Roberts Secures Second Place at Round Two of NHHA

Competing close to home in Lovelock, Zane Roberts claimed a strong second-place finish at the second round of the AMA National Hare and Hound series. Even though heavy snow earlier in the week made the track conditions a mystery, Roberts found the dirt to be nearly perfect on race day. His start was a bit rocky after another rider bumped into him, knocking him back several spots, but he didn’t panic. Knowing the 150-mile race was long and the damp ground meant dust wouldn’t be an issue, he took his time moving back toward the front. He eventually settled into second place, saving his energy for a big push in the final 40 miles. Roberts managed to catch up to the leader and the two battled back and forth throughout the final lap, but he couldn’t find a way to make the pass. While he finished just a bit short of the win, it was a great tactical performance and a solid day for his championship points.

Factory 480 RR

“The second round of the AMA National Hare and Hound series took place this weekend in Lovelock, Nevada, which is close to home for me. With a lot of snow in the week leading up to the race, we weren’t sure how the conditions were going to be, but for the most part, it turned out epic! I got off to a decent start, but after being tagged by another rider, I was shuffled back a few positions and decided to take my time moving forward since I knew we had a long 150 miles ahead and dust wouldn’t be a factor. I settled into 2nd and tried to conserve energy, as I knew the race would come down to sprinting the last 40 miles or so. After the final pit, I pushed hard and reeled the leader back in, but we basically spent the whole last lap yoyoing back and forth, and I was never able to get close enough to try for a pass. Overall, a solid day even though we came up just a bit short.”
