Hicks Cleans Up At Kansas City
GT Arena Motocross
T
he 13th and 14th rounds of
the GT Arena Motocross se-
ries took place in Hale Arena for
the first of two stops in Kansas
City, Missouri. Michael Hicks
again came away with the clean
sweep of all four main events.
Hicks, the championship lead
-
er, rocketed off the line in Friday
night's round 13 and led every lap
of both 14-lap main events. His
best time of the race was just shy
of a half-second better than sec
-
ond place, proving to be crucial
on the short 22-second course.
Carter Gordon landed on the
box in both races, and a pair of
thirds gave him second overall
after a close night of racing.
Chase Marquier improved
as the night progressed and he
used a fifth and a second to take
third overall.
Saturday looked to be more of
the same as Hicks again went
undefeated. Another good start
and the fastest lap time of the
race were two sure-fire tools he
used to lead all 29 laps of the
evening. Ben Nelko came back
with a vengeance on Saturday
night and nearly ruined Hicks's
hopes of a perfect night. He
stayed close to Hicks and even
knocked the gap down to un
-
der one second. Still, a pair of
second places gave him second
overall for round 14.
Mike Alessi also improved his
result and scored a third in the
final race of the weekend. He
claimed the final spot on the box
with a fourth and a third.
