Round 3 - AMA EnduroCross Series - October 29, 2020
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – FMF KTM Factory Racing Team’s Trystan Hart earned his first-career Super Pro Class victory on Thursday at Round 3 of the 2020 AMA EnduroCross Series at Glen Helen Raceway. With steady moto scores of 2-2-1, the young Canadian rider bested his veteran competition with great poise and determination as he continues to prove himself as a championship contender this season.
Hart got off to a great start in race one as he maneuvered his KTM 350 EXC-F into the lead early on lap one. He led for the first three laps before getting passed by series points leader, Colton Haaker, and from there Hart maintained a solid pace to secure second in Moto 1.
In Moto 2, Hart put himself into a decent position off the start despite the inverted start order, where he sat in a favorable top-five position by the second lap. He put on a big charge halfway through to catch the race-leaders, where he was able to capitalize on a mishap by Haaker to overtake the second-place position with two laps to go. In the end, Hart finished only two seconds back for the runner-up spot.
In the third and final race, Hart shot off the line to capture a third-place start and he worked his way into the lead by lap three. It was all but smooth sailing for Hart, who was joined by Haaker once again on the last lap. After dicing back-and-forth in the final moments, it was Hart who prevailed in the end to capture the race-win and the overall victory from Round 3, where he now sits second overall in the championship standings.
Trystan Hart: “It feels good to finally get an overall win! I almost lost it on the last lap when Colton bumped me but I managed to get him back and secure my first overall victory!”
It was another solid night for FMF/RPM/KTM Racing Team Maxxis’ Cooper Abbott, who claimed 4-5-5 finishes throughout the evening to capture another top-five finish in the highly-competitive Super Pro division.
KTM-supported rider, Shelby Turner, raced her way to a third-straight win in the Women’s Class, where she also finished fourth overall in the Amateur division.
Round 4 of the 2020 AMA EnduroCross Series will take place on Friday, October 30 at Glen Helen Raceway. For more information on the series and full results, visit
