Kit Palmer | April 28, 2003
Kawasaki’s Brian Brown captured the overall win at the third round of the AMA National Championship Hare & Hound Series in Lucerne Valley, California, April 27. The win by Brown marked the end of Russell Pearson’s three-race win streak (including last year).
Pearson was involved in a close race for second with Destry Abbott. The two riders pretty much drag-raced to the finish line with Yamaha-mounted Pearson finishing just ahead of Abbott’s Kawasaki. Fourth place went to Yamaha rider Ty Davis, while KTM-mounted Joey Lanza rounded out the top five overall.
