SUPERMINI 1 (9-15)
IMAGE / MPG WORDS / KILPATRICK DESIGN / WILSON
>> Kaeden Amerine came out with the holeshot in the second Supermini race, but he was immediately cast aside by the Team Green Kawasaki of Jett Reynolds through the second corner. A slew of Kawasakis took advantage and made their way past the KTM rider that included Jeremy Ryan and Jack Rogers. Ryan was out
for redemption after crashing on the first lap in his first main event, setting his sights on Reynolds in the lead. The Bakersfield boy built a solid gap over the first couple laps that made it difficult for Ryan to ever come within striking distance of the lead and within three laps he had almost worked his way into lapped traffic. Reynolds had his Team Green Kawasaki dialed as his precise riding style agreed per- fectly with the indoor track. He downsided every jump with perfec- tion, flowing with the rhythms as if he was a seasoned professional. Reynolds was the only rider in the Supermini class wheel tapping into the rollers section before the finish line which allowed him to gain almost a second over his competitors. Meanwhile, the battle for third raged on as Kaeden Kniffing forced his way past his Rides Unlimited teammate as well as the Kawasaki of Jack Rogers. Reyn- olds rode calm, cool, and collected in the final laps as he main- tained his lead at the front of the field and tried to remain cautious in lapped traffic, hugging the inside lines and keeping his throttle delivery as smooth as butter on his way to his first main event vic- tory of the day.
