Round 1

Steward Baylor Jr. (right) made the trip from South Carolina worthwhile by winning round one of the AMA Youth East Hare Scrambles Championship Series in Logan, OH Saturday riding a KTM. Hocking Valley Motorcycle Club hosted the event, which features youth riders from 4 to 15 in their own Championship Series.

Rounding out the Super Mini podium was KTM mounted Joel Chapman while Caleb Covington (SUZ) and Cody Lee Carr (YAM) made the 85cc (12-15) class an all Ohio affair. South Carolina riders did well at the event Grant Baylor (KTM) taking the 85cc (7-11) class making them two for two on wins. Finishing behind Grant were Brendon Riordan (KTM) and Tommy Wilson (YAM), both from Massachusetts.

The 65cc 7-11 class was won by Austin Lee (KTM) followed by Wyatt Ford (KTM) and Jordan Burkholder (SUZ) riding in his hometown.
