will take place in Southern California's Johnson Valley OHV area, hosted by So Cal
MC!

NHHA Round 3 Podium, Kurt Caselli 1st, David Kamo 2nd, Jake Argubright 3rd

This year's event will be unique, with 3-loops totaling almost 100 miles.  The first
two loops will be 40 miles each, with the third loop an additional 17 miles.  The
club has been working for months on the course, finding virgin terrain that will
challenge all skill levels of bikes and ATV's.  There will be no alternate gas
pits for this event.  Start time is 9:00am Sunday morning.  See attached race flyer
for more information.

Join us this Saturday morning for Round 4 of the Youth National Hare & Hound Series!
Banner drops at 11:00am for the kids.  2 pair of Kenda Tires will be awarded to
two class winners (picked at random).  Come and cheer on the young boys and girls
of our sport.  We have had huge success with this new series and we are excited
to see it grow.  You can find more information on the attached flyer.  Moto Tally

The point's chase is already getting interesting for the top bikes!  With last year's
champ, FMF/KTM's Kurt Caselli having to DNF a round, he currently sits in 4th Place
Overall, after winning his first event of the season in Idaho at Round 3.  Caselli
currently has 55 points.

JCR Honda's David Kamo is currently in 1st Place Overall after three rounds with
a total of 68 points.  He's having a great year so far.  In 2nd Place Overall behind
Kamo is Kendall Norman with 60 points, and in 3rd Place Overall with 57 points (just
2 points ahead of Caselli) is Off Road Support's Jacob Argubright.  Argubright and
Kamo are both doing excellent so far this year with many trips to the podium already.
Rounding out the Top 5 is Purvines Racing's Nick Burson who is only one point being
Caselli after three rounds so far.

In the Women's A/B Class, Western Design's Maggie Pearson currently sits in 1st
Place Overall with a total of 85 points.  Maggie has been having a great season
so far with two wins and a second place!  Vurboffroad's Megan Blackburn currently
sits in 2nd Place Overall behind Maggie with a total of 64 points.  In 3rd Place
Overall is Rily Ellinger with 30 points.  Some new faces in this year's NHHA series,
which is great to see!

In the ATV category, we have a battle heating up between last year's champ, DirtFirst's
Andy Lagzdins, and Fasst Company's Colt Brinkerhoff.  This would be Colt's first
full year racing the NHHA series and he's currently leading overall with 55 points.
Andy sits in 2nd Place Overall with 46 points and in 3rd Place Overall is long-time
D37 racer, Scott Schmidt, with 35 points.

Many battles heating up in all 26 NHHA classes so far this year!
