The second round of the Kenda/SRT AMA West Hare Scrambles Championship Series headed to Coalinga, California, and the Salinas Ramblers Motorcycle Club Ranch, over the February 13-14 weekend, where Ian Blythe and Nick Burson battled it out for the win. The two riders went at it the entire race, and it wasn’t until the last 20 minutes that Blythe finally took command and came away with the victory on the Rally Pan Am/MX1 West/Bell KTM 250 SX.
Burson, on the Purvines Beta 300 RR, ended up second, while KTM rider Cory Graffunder filled out the podium.
Husqvarna-mounted Jacob Argubright finished fourth and KTM pilot Travis Coy rounded out the top five overall.
The results, however, are pending due to a protest that was filed after the race, alleging Blythe pitted outside a designated area.
In the FMF Pro 250s, Yamaha-mounted Dillon Shepard took the win followed by Max Parker and Dante Oliveira.
