AMA SX Series: 6th round San Diego, CA (14.02.2006)

At the seventh round of the Amp’d Mobile Supercross, Red Bull KTM Supercross riders, Nathan Ramsey and Mike Alessi got off to a good start in their heat races. Mike Alessi was in heat race 1, and pulled the holeshot right out of the gate. He led for a lap before getting passed and settled into third, advancing to the main. Nathan Ramsey was in heat 2 and was in the top four when the gate dropped. He worked his way to the front of the pack when he suddenly fell in a corner. He made up a lot of ground and finished third, also advancing to the main.

As the riders geared up and the 30 second sign turned, the riders blasted off the start and history repeated itself, as Alessi grabbed the holeshot and lead for the first lap. Ramsey wasn’t far behind in fourth. Andrew Short crept up behind the Red Bull KTM riders and made a pass, moving Alessi to second and Ramsey to third. On the eighth lap, Grant Langston had made his way to the front and was chasing down the leaders. He also made passes, moving Alessi to fourth and Ramsey to third, finishing the Supercross Lite Class in that order.
