In just 3 days, Round 4 of the AMA FMF/GPR National Hare & Hound Championship Series 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 Youth Results:
