LAS VEGAS. NV, JULY 27
Las Vegas Motor Sport's hotshoe Tommy
Ramirez recently moved up from starching the
125cc Beginner class into the tougher 125cc
Novice division. It didn't take him long to find
his way to the head of the class, as he threw
"snake eyes" at his competit ors on his way to
the overall.
He started off on the right foot, leading
O'Neal-s ponsored TlIylor Gilmore and the rest
of the field out onto the course. Cycle Gear's
Kris Higdon and Nevada Suzuki- backed
Patrick Provenc her stormed into second and
third and were pressurin g Ramirez for the lead.
Provenc her battled past Higdon and, as the
race reached its dosing stages, was wheel to
wheel with Ramirez for the victory. In a tandem finjsh, Ramirez took the win by a nose
over Provencher, with Higdon leading Gilmore
and Snap-On Tools rider Brian Fowler across
the line.
Ramirez fired out again in moto two, with
Fowler and Higdon trying to chase him down.
Ramirez kicked it up a notch, as Provench er
hBd moved up and was trying to find a way
around Fowler. Ramirez had it wired, as the
GS3 Clothing -backed rider took an easier win
this time out - and the overall 125cc Novice
trophy. Provenc her got past Fowler on the
white-fla g lap to take second and second

Las Vegas Motor Speedw ay: Alex Mattson was the winner
of the 85cc Stock (12-13) class
at the fifth round of the eight-ra ce Club MX Beat The Heat Summe
r Night Motocro ss Series
in Las Vegas,
overall, while Higdon topped Fowler and Pro
X-sponso red Justin Hunt in the final tally.
The 125cc Beginne r class was also having
fun with Club MX on Saturda y night. They
raced together with the 250cc Beginner s (but
were scored separate ly), so, naturally , horsepower prevailed , as 250cc jockey Casey Rodman led the charge off the gate. Within a few
turns, 125cc pilot Brian Brought on passed
him, as did fellow 125cc rider Vincent Zampa
shortiy thereafte r. Eric Campbe ll joined the
lead pack, while Broughto n and Zampa were
SAN BERNAR DiNO, CA, ,JULY 27
With round three marking the halfway point in
Racing Enterpris es Motospo rts' fourth annual
No Fear Saturday Motocros s Summer Series,
there was a large turnout of riders, and while it
eventual ly got warm, overcast condition s prevailed for most of the morning , making for
excellen t racing condition s on the track. The
series is sponsore d by White Brothers, Factory
R&D, Pro Valve Race Service, ARC Levers,
Superfeet, N-Style, Wiseco, One Industries, VP
Racing Fuels, Smith, and Mechani x Wear.
Racing was tight in the always-c ompetitiv e
Vet Junior class, as 17 riders put a wheel on
the gates this week. In the first go-aroun d, it
was Yamaha YZF rider Carry Brown taking the
holeshot . Tim Harris had his KTM 380 SX running in second, just ahead of Eric Wolfe. Dirk
Davidow and Steve Reeves. Over the first few
laps, Brown and Harris began to s;eparate
themselv es from the pack in a battle for the
lead. One rider who was not falling back was
Brent Farrell, aboard his booming Husqvam a
thumper . Farrell started outside the top five,
but by lap three he was in third place and
closing in on the leaders. At the halfway point,
the battle for the point was a three-rid er affair,
as Brown, Harris and Farrell all rode on the
in a war for first. Broughton blasted around the
course, Zampa hung on, and everyon e else
disappea red from the rearview. Broughto n led
Zampa through the checkers and Robert Otto
nipped Campbe ll for third.
It was big-bike- bully time again as 250cc
rider Brian Child stuck his Y~maha out in front
of Otto and the rest as race two fired off the
line. Broughto n made an early move, passing
for second, as Zampa came forward to sandwich Otto. As the race progressed, Broughto n
and Zampa battled into first and second, while
Otto was in a war with Jeff Morris. Broughto n
and Zampa flashed through the pipes to go
one-two, and one-two for the overall. Morris
led Otto for third, but Otto beat him out for
third overall. Bobby Maguire rounded out the
top five.
