FERNLEY, NV (Oct 13) – Battle Born MX (BBMX) staged round 9 of its season at the Fernley/Wadsworth Lion’s Motocross Track, also known as the Sand Box, this weekend.
There was a good turn out of riders, as some gates were more than 90% full. If this keeps up soon classes will have to be divided.
Seven 250/450 pros were on hand although one of them was only able to complete the second moto.
After sweeping both motos winner Aaron Siminoe said, “Yea it was a good moto for sure. Dylan Galliett kept me a little more honest in that moto, kind of fun. But overall it was a good day on the day.”
Then he thanked his parents as well as sponsors Fly Racing, X Brand Goggles, CD Boots, everyone at Factory Backing, Nature?s Bakery and Moto-Source for all the good parts.
Asked about his future plans he said, “Not going to try, we’re going to do Supercross. We’re going to do the 450 class next year, try and open up some eyes so we can get a factory ride.”
Once the second moto gate dropped Siminoe took off and left everyone in his dust. Behind him Galliett and Alec Green tried their best but ended up a distant second and third.
There were several close races and one was decided at the finish line when the second 250/450 Beginner moto ended. After the gate dropped Ian Breckenridge and Justin Graves were dueling for the lead, but behind them Seth Clark giving chase.
In the final laps Clark moved into second and after the final hill that lead to the finish line he made his move. As they crossed the line he won by half a bike length although second was good enough to give Graves the day’s overall victory.
Like the previous race a person can win the battle yet lose the overall victory. The second 250/450 Junior moto was another example of that.
When the gate dropped to start the second moto Blake Ray led the charge but soon Ayden Katzenmeyer took over the lead. Behind them Chayce Barba was moving forward with the leader in his sights.
Right after taking the white flag Barba made his move and took over the lead, which was enough to give him the victory. Katzenmeyer had to settle for second but that was enough to claim the day’s overall victory.
Asked about the race Barba said, “He (Katzenmeyer) was really tough. There’s an outside that a lot of people are hitting but you can take it wide open.”
Then he thanked his parents for their support.
There were two more pros that raced in the 125/250 group. In the end, after a close race, Alec Green won the day and overall after besting Brad Maga.
After getting some of his wind back a tired Green said, “The race was very tiring, the track’s really rough right now. It’s got some big potholes and everything in it.”
Then he thanked his parents as well as Flex Handle Bars, Bell Helmets, Fly Racing and those that are supporting him.
While their elders were having some good battles on the track the younger set weren’t doing too bad them selves.
When the Supermini race began Chase Cannizzaro led the charge but not far behind were the duo of Otto Albrecht and Nakana C. Domingo.
Eventually Domingo took over the lead but Cannizzaro was close behind him in second. They finished in that order, almost nose-to-tail.
After the race an exhausted Domingo said, “Yea I was feeling a little tired at the start, but I just found my groove and just took it.”
Then he thanked his father, friends and Team Testa for all their support.
Both Women’s classes ran with the Superminis. Shami Potratz won the “A” group but was chased by her niece Hayden Losey. In the “B” group Jen Leppek won with Claire Petrie coming home second.
As usual there is a wide spread of ages in these races. At the top of the age ladder Troy Decker was the 50+ Junior winner while the 50+ Intermediate victor was Mike McMurry.
At the bottom of the ladder are the Pee Wees, the next generation earning their racing spurs on single speed bikes powered by 50cc motors.
Kylan Simpson was the Beginner winner while Wyatt Berrington was the Junior victor. Both the Intermediate and Open races came down to a duel between Jaiden Roberts and Gavin Giomi.
Lap after lap they tore around the course but in the end Roberts scored a double winning both classes.
Next are the 65cc classes, this is where the young riders learn to shift and are riding a slightly bigger, more powerful bike.
Jevin Hubbard won the Beginner class while Junior winner was Hudson Losey.
Reporter’s Note: The score sheets only had the first moto results for the Beginners and Juniors.
Young Lola Turner was the Intermediate winner while making it a double by winning the Open race as well.
Full results are posted at the end of this article.
With all the hard racing there were a few crashes. Only some required the Medics attendance but no one had to be transported.
Now everyone only has a week to prepare for the race this weekend. Once again it will be at the Sandbox and this time the Old Timers will be the hosts. For further information on the group please check their website at www.battlebornmx.com or their Face Book page..
