LACR Hosts District 37 MX Round 2

Desert racers and motocrossers clash during round two of the AMA District 37 MX Series at Los Angeles Country Raceway (LACR).

LACR MX Track was in prime condition for the second motocross race of the summer for District 37. Hosted by Rovers MC, the club put on an awesome race per usual, stepping out of their desert racing comfort zone. Humidity and grueling heat that came with the deep down location of the LACR MX track added to the challenge of the race.

The Rovers MX race brought out more than the normal desert crowd. Racers who have never competed alongside one another got to go hand in hand with some of the desert’s best. Walker Harrison, who kicked off the morning with a lead in race 1, moto 1, taking a win in the 250 A class. Harrison held his flow on the track and was prepared for moto 2 after adjusting a bit of his tire pressure. Elite Racing’s Nick Stover was in the chase with Harrison during race 1, preparing himself on the track for the Pro race a little later in the day.

Not too long after, Zach Spano, Walker Harrison, and Braasch Motorsports STI Nic Garvin tore up the track in the 450 class, with Garvin taking third overall in this race and first in the 450 A Open class. Due to bike difficulties, Garvin would not make it back out on the track until moto 2.

With a $500 purse, the Pro class starting gate was lined with some unexpected competition, including Stover, Blais Racing-backed Kyle Mercier, Kevin Weisbruch, Dominic DeSimone, and new to the Pro scene Deegan Vonlossberg. Vonlossberg took home the win and the $500 purse. Dominic DeSimone came in second place. Kevin Weisbruch was third.
