Honda CR12S-mounted Keny Terracciano sp lit
molo wins with Shaun Mitchell en route 10 conquering a co mpetitive 125cc Beginner class in
the California Racing Oub's Friday night season
opener at Los Angeles County Raceway .
Vic to r Banuelos, Dustin Cou rtney and
Mitchell argued over the lead as the first moto
got underway. Terracciano had trou ble on the
opening lap and found himself ncar the back of
the pack. By the midway po int in the race, it
became a two-rider shootout for the lead
between Banuelos and Mitchell. Terracciano was
slicing through the field, all the way to third
place by the white flag. The last lap was a !reefor-all with Mitchell comin g ou t on top over Terracciano and then Banuelos.
Noa h Adams ed ged ou t Te rr accia n o a nd
Se t h Kee na for th e se con d· m o to hol esho t.
Adams immediately came under fire from Terracciano as he sta rte d dogging h im in every
turn. Mitchell out-jumped Kenna for third, but
Keena then shot past Mitchell at the Kal Ga rd
tow er jump. Mitchell retaliated down the back
straigh t with a pass .tha t stuck.
A fien:e, three-way battle for the lead developed with Terracciano and Mitchell glued to
Adams' back fender. Terracciano cleared a dou-
ble that Adams didn't, whkh set him up to rail
a ro u nd Adams in the foll ow in g turn for the
lead. Seconds later, Mitche ll jumped past Adams
in to second and set ou t after Terra cciano.
Th e final tw o laps saw Terracci ano and
Mitchell circulate the sandy track only a few feet
apart When the checkers fell, Terracciano held a
bike-length advantage for the molo and overa ll
win. Mitchell took home a second place trophy for
his efforts. Adam's thin:! place finish in molo two
edged out Banuelos's 3-6 score for thin:!overall.
