Willie Browning Dominates GEICO MiniMotoSX

First
rider ever to win all three Expert Finals in one night!

Las Vegas, NV. (May 6, 2011) – For the past seven years, Willie
Browning has been one of the favorites to win the GEICO AMA MiniMotoSX
but something always prevented him from winning even one main event.
But tonight, at the South Point Arena in Las Vegas, Browning dominated
all three expert main events on his CHP mini bikes. He started by
taking the 10 Inch Expert class victory over BBR’s Ryan Abrigo and
Braaap USA’s Michael Blose. He later came back to win the 12 Inch
Expert class over Derek Costella and Kyle Partridge and then took his
third main even win of the night in the World Final, which takes the
top three finishers in all of the premier classes. The improbable
trifecta win earned Browning $9,000 for a night of mini bike racing!

The
2011 GEICO AMA MiniMotoSX, presented by Monster Energy and Braaap USA
had 15 separate AMA number one plates on the line for Expert, Amateur,
Vet and Youth classes. For the Experts, there was $18,000 in purse
money on the line so you know that is going to lead to some intense
racing.

Matthew Skerrett beat fellow Austrialian Mike
Reefman in the 35+ Vet class. Tatum Sik took the lead from defending
women’s champion Erika Short and never looked back to win her first
MMSX over Jackie Ives and Katie Cyr. Zac Hays won the Vintage main over
Shea Koester and Robert Rexrode.

Drake Williams won the
12 Inch Amateur class over Tomokuni Osada and Matthew Skerrett. Hiroshi
Nakayama made the trip from Japan pay off with a victory in the 10 Inch
Amateur class over Robert Rexrode and Kevin Papaeko.

10
Inch Stock/Mod was won by Clint Johnson over Duane Brown (one of the
BBR brothers) and Joshua Sheffer. Tiger Lacey defended his title in the
12 Inch Stock/Mod class over Michael Horban and Drew Petrie.

The
12 Inch Youth class was won by Daniel Maynet over Kyle Davis and Dillon
Drummen. Killian Woder won the 10 Inch Youth class over Dillion Drummen
and Tyler Walker. Carson Brown dominated the 12 Inch Youth 9-13 year
old class to make up for giving away the lead on the last lap at last
year’s event. Robbie Wageman, the defending Champion finished second
ahead of Zachary Bierbower.

In the Gas Versus Electric
battle, the Gas bikes were given a head-start, which proved
insurmountable and Shawn Rhinehart won on a Honda CRF150. Jamie Lanza
was closing fast on his Zero when he was involved in a big crash trying
to get into second overall. Jay Maloney was the second gas powered bike
across the line followed by Blake Mitchell. Blake Mitchell was the
first Electric bike across the line followed by fellow Zero pilots
Chris Green and Jamie Lanza.
