Pro Circuit 85cc Mini Invitational urn. Clearly, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Hansen began his dominance from the first gate drop on Friday night, leading from start to finish without ever being challenged. The second outing looked to be much the same, but Hansen got tangled up with another rider and went down, forcing him to settle for fourth place. Kawasaki rider Gavin Gracyk benefited from the mishap to take the win, along with the overall points lead heading into Saturday. Hansen was only two points in arrears. Saturday's first race offered proof that Hansen is a force to be reckoned with, as he started mid-pack and began blowing by the other contenders to work his way up to second. Suzuki rider Shane Bess was out in front, and with the laps winding down, Hansen had to make his move. On the penultimate lap, Hansen overtook Bess, but the Suzuki rider got back by and scored the moto victory. Hansen took second, having come out on the winning end of a tussle with a brake-checking Gracyk, who went down in the encounter but recovered to finish sixth, leaving the door open for Hansen to take points lead. The final and deciding moto was a Hansen benefit, as the Yamaha rider was never headed, though Honda rider Ryan Mills kept him honest in second. Bess put in a solid ride to finish third for the moto and second in the final standings behind Hansen, while New York's Mills utilized a consistent approach to notch a thirdoverall result. "I am just so happy to be here and to have been given the opportunity by Yamaha to race in front of such a great crowd," Hansen said. "I can't wait to begin racing supercross full time."

Suzukl's Davl Millsaps won two of th four motos run In the Pro Circuit 85cc Mini Invitational to score the overall. Defending Champion Kyle Chisholm put up an admirable fight but had to settle for second overall. They soon both disposed of Dougherty, but as they did, Chisholm fought his way back by Millsaps for second as Millsaps almost crashed on a Tuff Blox while leaving the arena. The two went back and forth for the last couple of laps before Millsaps wised up and decided discretion was the better part of valor, finishing third for the championship, although Villopoto put in a fine ride just in front of the two to win the moto. Villopoto's win earned him the final podium spot overall. CN M&M 6nad &anlen Arena Las Vegas.

Defending champ (the first one in this event, as most are old and big enough that they move up to 125s soon after) Kyle Chisholm rode valiantly to fight off Millsaps, but Millsaps was ultimately too strong. Chisholm started off well when he grabbed the holeshot and outmuscled Millsaps in moto one, as the Suzuki rider tried to put an aggressive pass on him before the finish line. "I went to the inside to stuff [Chisholm], but he just outpowered me, and I slid out and got second," Millsaps said. But that was the only chink in Millsaps' armor. He rode nearly flawlessly in the second and third motos, taking seemingly easy victories, but it was the fourth-moto joust that provided the gallery with something to talk about for quite some time. Chisholm knew he needed to win the moto, and Millsaps needed a fin- S Friday MOTO 1: 1. Kyle Chisholm (Kaw); 2. Davi Millsaps (Suz); 3. Matt Boni (Kaw); 4. Cody Gilmore (Kaw); 5.
