Kendall Norman was a man on a mission at round 9 of the AMA National
Hare and Hound series. He launched his Honda CRF450X out to an
impressive holeshot and never looked back.
Taking the win Kendall had this to say, "Going into the So-Cal MC
National Hare and Hound, I didn’t question my equipment, fitness or
talent, instead just hoped for the perfect day. My Honda ran flawless,
the pit crew was on point and I had that perfect day leading wire to
wire. Thank you to all who believe in me and support the cause." --

The course consisted of 3 separate loops. Loop 1 was a 38 mile
challenging high speed loop. Loop 2 was a 49 mile section that spread
the field out and took the leaders nearly 1 1/2 hours to complete. Loop 3
was a 14 mile technical, demanding, rocky, high steaks sprint to the
finish. All totaling up to a 100 mile race for the record books.
Congratulations Kendall on a spectacular win!
"JCR/Honda had an AMAZING weekend and it showed the depth of talent and
quality of equipment we race with. It also showed how incredible the
support crews are. We made a plan to divide and conquer this weekend and
that's exactly what we did. Congratulations to Kendall Norman, what an
amazing ride!" -- Johnny Campbell
Quinn Cody and David Kamo also put in great performances. Quinn Cody
moved thru the pack and finished 6th and David Kamo came out strong
before a radiator puncture took him out of the race, but with the quick
hands of the support crews he was able to battle back to 8th.
