Round 2 - AMA EnduroCross Series - October 24, 2020
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – Making big strides to earn his first moto-win of the season, FMF KTM Factory Racing Team’s Trystan Hart secured second overall at Round 2 of the 2020 AMA EnduroCross Series on Saturday with a solid performance on day two of the double-header weekend at Glen Helen Raceway.
 
On par with Friday’s qualifying session, Hart had another strong start to the day by claiming the fastest Hot Lap aboard his KTM 350 EXC-F and he kept the momentum rolling as he secured the holeshot in race one. As the only rider to break into the 01:00 lap times, Hart set a fast pace out front as he led all eight laps to secure the race one victory over a stacked field of competition.
 
From first to last in the second moto’s inverted start order, Hart was forced to battle his way from the back of the pack after getting closed off on the start. He climbed from last-place up to a top-five position with three laps to go and from there he put on a charge to finish just off the podium in fourth.
 
In the final race of the night, Hart got off to a second-place start and he settled into third on the opening lap. He put his head down and charged back up to second just after the halfway point where he began to close in on the race leader with a few laps to go. In the end, Hart finished 5.8 seconds back for second-place and he wrapped up second overall for the night.
 
Trystan Hart: “Saturday was a much better night for me. The speed was good and I was pretty consistent but I just need to keep plugging away and the overall win will come.”
 
Following a career-first Pro Class podium on Friday night, FMF/RPM/KTM Racing Team Maxxis’ Cooper Abbott raced his way to a top-five overall finish on Saturday with 4-5-7 scores for the night.
 
KTM-supported rider, Shelby Turner, claimed her second-straight victory in the Women’s Class with a dominant performance at the second round, while also claiming an impressive runner-up finish in the Amateur division.
 
Round 3 of the 2020 AMA EnduroCross Series will take place on Thursday, October 29 at Glen Helen Raceway. For more information on the series and full results, visit www.endurocross.com
