SETH HAMMAKER
Seth Hammaker came into the Baja Brawl prepared to do battle on his Super Mini after one of the most incredible weeks of his amateur career at Loretta Lynn’s in early August. He flew into Hurricane Mills under the radar, fully embracing the underdog story with a ‘Seth Who?” butt patch cheekily stitched into his gear. The 15 year old turned a lot of heads in the amateur motocross industry as he conquered the incredibly challenging conditions that Mother Nature dished out during the beginning of the week. The youngster out of Bainbridge, PA rode consistently throughout changing conditions and never once finished outside of the top 5 in all six of his races. Hammaker was able to leave the Ranch with his first Loretta Lynn’s title in the Super Mini 1 class and a 2nd overall finish in the Super Mini 2 class, consequently making some big waves and making the factory teams wonder why they don’t have this kid on their payroll.
