Peters Dominates Reno
Arenacross
R
ound seven of the AMA Aren-
across Championship headed
to Reno, Nevada, February 3.
Several West Supercross riders
attended this one but defending
Champion Kyle Peters (Phoenix
Honda) still took the win in both
main events.
Peters is an ace in the first
mains and got up front to no real
surprise. He claimed the first win
of the night ahead of Brandon
Ray and Devin Harriman, both
regular names in Supercross's
250SX West division.
Main two saw the running or
-
der flipped, meaning the top fin-
ishers from main one start from
the back row in race two. This
put new faces at the front, while
Peters and company worked
their way through the field.
Peters got through turn one
unscathed, but it took him until
the final lap of the race to secure
a pass for the lead. Once out front,
he took the victory and another
perfect weekend. Christopher Pre
-
bula finished second in main two
with Harriman a close third.

Alessi got the holeshot and led
every lap, while Hicks worked
his way up to second. Carter
Gordon took third.
The 450 Pro class put the

just in a different order. Hicks
got the start this time around
and checked out with the win.

the second spot with Gordon
ultimately getting the upper
hand, finishing seven seconds
behind Hicks.
Hicks managed to wrap up
the title on Friday and headed

the next day. This left the field
