Iowa ATV Hare Sramble Series June 29th - Carlisle, Iowa "Andy's Back Yard" - Round 3

IATVHSS Round 3 ATV Race Report - Continued

Brock Lyons didn’t fair so well at his first IATVHSS event, as he broke down in the first lap and was not able to get his quad running again. As the racers crossed the finish line, Michael was still in the lead, despite losing his rear brakes early on, and took the AA win and the overall with Duane in a very close 2nd. Zac Johnson secured the final place in 3rd, while Jason Gudde finished in 4th with six laps and Carson Coffman rounded out the top five.

Bob Ziebel took 1st in the ATV A class.	ATVA Director, Doug Morris, raced in the 40+ ATV Class.

In the A class, it was Bob Ziebel who took the win, followed by Zach Davis in 2nd and Colby Costman in 3rd with Brandon Heath and Josh Fett finishing off the top five. Joel Clausen took the win in the B class. Chet Hamilton took the win in the 30+ class while Jake Stratton took home the win for the 50+ class. In the 40+ class, Roy Hazzard took home another win with Ron Mueller in 2nd and William Payne in 3rd. Hunter Russell grabbed the number four spot. ATVA Director, Doug Morris decided to give the IATVHSS a shot over the weekend and landed in 5th place in the 40+ class, but Morris wasn’t the only new-comer to the series this weekend.

Daryl Rath of Rath Racing made his IATVHSS debut and took 8th overall in the Morning ATV Race

Daryl Rath and his son Gunther decided to make the trek to Iowa and get in a little track time as well. Daryl raced in the Utility class, while his son raced in the 50cc Production class, and all though neither of them won their classes, it didn’t seem to matter, as Rath was quite impressed with his experience there. “It was a very welcoming atmosphere,” said Daryl about his first time at the IATVHSS. “I have to give these guys a ton of credit. They made it more of an event than just a race. Very few people can put together an event like that and I think other promoters could learn a lot from Andy and what he has done here.”

The organization of the event was not the only thing that impressed Rath over the course of the weekend. “There is so much that really stands out about this series. There’s the dinner that they put on the night before the races, which is a great way for fans to interact and get more involved; they have a great turnout; and then there was the helicopter rides,” he said. “They had a helicopter there for anyone who wanted to go for a ride, so my son and I took a helicopter ride after the races and he was so excited. It’s being able to take home memories like that that really stays with you; you just can’t beat it. If my schedule with the GNCC doesn’t conflict, I definitely plan to race more of this series,” Daryl concluded.
