FERNLEY, NV (Oct. 25) – After a many months long hiatus the Reno chapter of the Over The Hill Gang was able to stage a race at the Sand Box, or Fernley Motocross Track, this weekend.
After a 70-degree Saturday for practice, racers were greeted Sunday by temperatures in the 30’s with a wind blowing. As expected there was a large group ready to race and expecting frozen fingers.
Only two pros were on hand and Justin Minsch scored victories in 125/250 and 259.450 Pro classes. Then Minsch went on to claim the only triple class victory of the weekend by also winning the 25+ Open motos, the last one actually closed out the racing day.
At the lower end of the age scale there are the Pee Wees. These youngsters race 50cc single speed bikes and are earning their riding and racing spurs.
Maverick Parke won the 4to 6 class while Jayden Latham scored double victories when he won both the7 and Up as well as the Open races.
Once riders move up to the 65cc Class they now have to learn shifting as well as racing a faster bike. Jevin Hubbard won the 9 & Under victory while Garrett Berrington was another double winner when he topped the 10 and Up Class and the 65cc Open races.
Moving up to the 85cc division these little speedsters are the last small bike class. Graduating from this means a rider will finally reach the big bike divisions.
Connor Gaarenstroom won the 85cc 13 and Up class while Rogen Hill scored a double victory winning both the 85cc Open and, being the only Supermini on hand, won that division as well.
Another double winner for the day was Mike McMurry scoring victories in the 60 plus as well as the 50 plus Intermediate classes. Keven Stewart was the 50 plus Junior winner while Anthony Fagundes won in the 50 plus Expert class.
There are also classes in the 40 and 30 plus age groups as well as the 25 plus class. In the two school related classes Demetre Proutsos won the Schoolboy overall while Eddy Minard was the Collegboy winner.
Casey Carmichael was another double winner when he topped the Big Bike Open and the 125/250 Intermediate Class while Chase Cannizzaro won the 2-Stroke Open.
Ashleigh Trapanese won the Women’s A class while Sierra Koch was the Women’s B winner. In another special race Tommy Jean won both club motos.
The large fields reflected the strength of the motocross community in Northern Nevada. In fact there were so many in the125/250 Beginner class it had to be broken into a pair of divisions as each either filled the starting gate or almost did.
Matthew Dufue won division one while the division two winner was Jess Wilford and Cole Palotas was the junior winner.
The fastest and biggest bikes are in the 250/450 classes. Nicholas Wilford was the beginner winner while Otto Albrecht won in the junior division. On this day Kyle Zimmer was the only Intermediate racing so he won that division.
With few exceptions the medics weren’t busy at all and no one earned an ambulance ride to the hospital. Considering the day’s temperature there were plenty of frozen fingers and a lot of hot showers Sunday evening were probably going to happen.
As it currently stands the next BBMX race at Fernley is scheduled for November 8. In these uncertain times be sure to check their website at www.battlebornmx.com or the Face Book page.
REPORTER’S NOTE: For some reason was unable to load a photo gallery I had made of most of the second moto winner. Sorry I can’t include that right now.
