PALMDALE, CA, SEPT. 15
Travis Bright has been a front-runner as of late
in Califomia Racing Club's 60cc (9- 11) class,
.Won four regional championships
.Placed fourth at Suzuki Cup finals
his way to the front of the pack to top archrivals Taylor Kellstrom and Armando Aguilar
during the M&J Cycles-sponsored round of
Saturday night motocross at Los Angeles
County Raceway.
KX65-mounted Aguilar had the quickest
reaction time out of the gate in moto one to
lead Bright, Justin Eubanks and Kyle Smith.
By the time the pack had completed lap one
on the J.B. Memorial track, Bright had control
of the top spot and was starting to inch away.
Kellstrom, who gated around 10th, was up to
fourth by lap two and closing in on Eubanks.
Bright would end up seeing the checkers first.
some five seconds ahead of Aguilar. Kellstrom
got around Eubanks for third, and Sammy
Ortiz put a last-lap move on Smith for fifth.
Round two duplicated the first, as Bright
passed a fast-starting Aguilar for the lead on
the opening lap. Kellstrom got a beller start
this time and dropped Aguilar to third place
on lap two and set out after Bright. It took
most of the moto, but when the white flag
came out, Kellstrom was glued to Bright's
back fender. Kellstrom was all over Bright on
the final circuit and pulled next to his fellow
KTM rider coming out of the final tum. Bright
won the drag race to the checkers by a bike
length for a sweep of the class. Kellstrom's 3·
2 tally topped Aguilar's 2-3 tally for second
overall. Ortiz (5-4) and Eubanks (4-6) rounded out the top five.
Garrell Warren dominated the first 125cc
Novice molo right from the drop of the gate.
Ricky Parks passed Travis Mehterian for second place, where he would finish. Ryan Riess
was a close fourth, behind Mehterian.
Matt Simpson, who encountered minor
problems and could only manage an eighth in
moto one, more than made up for it with a
WIlY Do You RACE?
"Enjoyment. It's fun, that's all.
I absolutely race to win."
WHAY WAS YOUR BEST
RACINC MOMEIIIT?
"Winning at Daytona my fi~,st
time, back in March 2000.
WHAY WAS YOUR WORST
RACING MOMENT?
'Crashing on the 55th lap of
the Daytona 200. That's
the worst."
WHAY'S YOUR "'AVORnE TItACK?
"Road Atlanta" that I've been
to so far. Because of all the
elevation changes and the
esses, and the big hills, it's
really overwhelming. That's my
favorite so far, but I haven't
seen a lot of them."
"To win Lightweight National
Championships at CCS and
WERA, and learn to ride
better on the 750 .. maybe get
towards the front on it and
stop crashing the thing."
wire-la-wire romp in round two. Riess. Parks
and Warren entertained the crowd on hand
with a close battle over second place that
eventually went to Riess. Warren's close third·
place performance was good enough for the
overall win. Riess (4-2) was runner-up, fol·
lowed by Parks (2-5), Simpson (8-1) and
Mehterian (3·9).
