Event:  Rnd 6 – AMA West National Hare Scrambles

Conditions:  Hot and VERY Dusty

Coiner Racing took the long ride up to the Big K Ranch, just outside of beautiful Elkton Oregon to contest Rnd 6 of the AMA West National Hare Scrambles.  We have been looking forward to this race all year because of the beautiful racing venue and tough/technical race the ETRA Club usually puts on.  This year was an exception.  Not only was this the most difficult course layout all year from any of the other rounds, the severe dusty conditions made it even worse.  The 14.5 mile loop consisted of vertical steep hill climbs, down hills, and tight…..tight single track.  The first 7 miles had no flow and made the getting into any rhythm impossible.  After going through the back check, the course flowed better, but due to the dust and gnarly down hills, there was just no time to relax.  The winners of this race, were the racers that prepped properly by being in shape, hydrated and mentally focused.  I raced on Saturday and puked on the final lap because I was so exhausted.  I knew the fast boys were in for some challenges on Sunday.  I was right; Sunday’s Race was BRUTAL!

Jeremy lined up with 150+ other Experts and Pro’s in the humid heat to contest this beast!  His Mach1 Motorsports KTM 300XC was all set thanks to a new top end, and fresh suspension courtesy of Sixfive0 Racing.  Bling on the 60X bike was provided by Works Connection and Dirt Digits.   He was looking all fresh in his new MSR Racing gear and 100% Goggles with Roll Offs since tear offs weren’t allowed this weekend.

Coiner 2When the Green Flag Dropped, the SRT/Kenda Tires hooked up perfectly and Jeremy launched out of the start and grabbed another hole shot.  Keeping the power to the ground was easy thanks to the Rekluse Manual Clutch and in an instant Jeremy was leading the pack out into the woods to start loop 1.  After loop one was completed, Jeremy was leading the entire B class by over a minute, and had a good 30 seconds on 2nd place in the B Open Class.  On lap 2 we pitted him for some fresh goggles and dumped just under 3 Gallons of gas in seconds thanks to our IMS Quick Dump System.  By this time the competition was close and the racing was good!  After Lap 3, riders were dropping out due to the heavy dust and course difficulty, but Jeremy pushed on and by this time had a comfortable 5 minute lead on 2nd place.  He faded a little on the last lap due to the heat, and dust, but he still won his class by over 5 minutes and took 6th OA in the B Class.  After being out there for over 3.5 hrs, I couldn’t have been more proud of the way he rode.

ThisCoiner 1 was Jeremy’s 2nd win in a row and 3rd win of the season.  He has good focus and is determined to win another National Championship for us all.

We have a break before the racing starts back up full time in September.  In between those times, Jeremy will be training and racing some local MX, and racing National H&H’s and Enduro’s to stay in shape.  Thank you again to all our sponsors who support us.
