SETH HAMMAKER
Seth Hammaker ended the 2017 season with a couple of first place overall finishes in the B class at Mini O’s. The Pennsylvania native has since graduated to the A class, fitting in with the surrounding competition almost immediately with sensational speed and unrelenting results. The Team Green Kawasaki rider overcame a setback in the form of a crack in his pelvis at the beginning of the 2018 season and returned to the po- dium at both the Daytona RCSX and the JS7 Freestone Spring Championship. Hammaker recently contested the 2018 FMF California Classic at Pala Raceway and continued the form that he has shown in recent years, proving that his speed transitions to the A class yet again. He only finished out of the top five on two occasions throughout the nine motos that he raced at the Cal Classic -- one of them due to a crash. The Fly Racing backed rider landed on the podium on five separate occasions and scored his best overall finish of third in the 250 Pro division, keeping his 2018 podium streak alive. Although it’s Hammaker’s first year in the A class, it’s easy to predict that his results will improve throughout the year as he will inevitably end up on the top step of the podium at one time or another.
