Nate Ferderer Beats The Heat
For Third Win Of Season In Iowa
Record Turnout For Harvest Scramble presented by Vertex
The fifth round of the Hoosier Off-Road Border Battle XC series, presented by
Klim, drew a record number of entries to the rolling hills of Southern Iowa, where
the Des Moines Enduro Riders played host to the series finale Harvest Scramble.
In one of the most competitive battles of the season, Minnesota’s Nate Ferderer
made a last lap pass on round three winner Tanner Whipple, to put an exclamation
point on his 2020 Championship run. Whipple, of Colona, Illinois, grabbed the front
row holeshot and led a three-rider charge for much of the race with Matt McDon-
ald and 14 year-old Troy Horbaty in tow. Horbaty, who was racing 85s just one year
ago, was making his first start in the AA class and finished an impressive fourth
overall.
