                                Round 2 of the AMA ATV National Harescramble Series 
                              was held in Haysville, North Carolina on Saturday 
                              April 25th. The weather was alot better this time 
                              around with temperatures hovering around 90 degrees 
                              and sunny. The biggest concern on the course this 
                              time would be dust instead of water. The 7+ mile 
                              track would consist of alot of rolling hills and 
                              fast sections all carved into the North Carolina 
                              hillside. Lap times would be hovering around the 
                              20 minute mark making this a 6 lap race. 
                              
                              There were 8 Pro's lined up in the first row 
                                including Bryan Cook, Tom Wright, Brandon Sommers, 
                                and Santo Derisi. Round 1 winner Brandon Sommers 
                                was out to distance himself from the pack, but 
                                Tom Wright took a quick lead and was pulling away 
                                with Richie Brown right behind him. On the second 
                                lap Bryan Cook would slip into the lead and Brandon 
                                Sommers would follow in second place.
