On The Pegs VOL. 5 ISSUE 4 - APRIL 2020 33 Alex will be riding for Ol’ Red Racing/Right Coast Racing. His primary focus will be on Open A in GNCC but will also ride AA in FTR. At 18 years old, he has a solid resume. “I got my first bike when I was 6 but really only rode trails until I was 11 when I did my first Hare Scramble,” said Lugar. “As soon as I got a taste of racing, I was hooked. Until last year, I’ve always just raced locally in Florida, but I took a shot at the GNCC series and was able to get 3rd in the 4 Stroke A-Lites class. I had a lot of up and downs last year, but overall it was super fun and was a great learning ex- perience. I’m really excited for the new season as I’m moving into the Open A class onboard a Sherco, as well as racing the AA class in the local FTR series. My goal for this year is to just continue to better myself and grow as a rider and hopefully that can allow me to fight for some wins. I am appreciative of the support of Sherco USA and FactoryONE” Here is a look at some of his accomplishments * 2017 FTR 200A Hare Scramble champ * 2018 FTR 200A Hare Scramble champ * 2019 FTR 250A Hare Scramble champ * 2019 FTR 250A Enduro champ * 2019 GNCC 4 stroke A-Lites 3rd place overall * Best 2019 GNCC race result 1st in class and 24th OA at Rd 11 Mason Dixon 2019 * Best 2020 GNCC Finish 3rd OA Amateur and 2nd in class at the Wild Boar SUBSCRIBE!
