ATV Haresramble Racing Series - Round 4 -
Miles Mountain |
Round # 4 was located at Miles Mountain in Elkland,
Pennsylvania. The race had the series biggest
turnout thus far with 260 ATV racers. It had been
raining throughout the week and race day would
not be any different. With temps in the high 80s
and the sun shining for the morning race, the
afternoon lineup proved to be much different as
the dark clouds rolled in the rain and cool air
came with them.
The drops starting falling as the flag was about
to drop. With the course already muddy and water
running down the hills, the rain did not help
the condition of the course. GNCC Pro's Chris
Borich, Brandon Sommers, Jarrod McClure, Jeffrey
Pickens, and Tom Wright were all in attendance
vying for the $3,000 Pro purse that was up for
grabs. 22 riders signed up for a shot at the money.
