MDK/KTM Anaheim III Race Report: Billy Laninovich 4th in Lites Main Event -ozzy go-

AMA Supercross Lites West
MDK KTM Lites Team rider Billy Laninovich started the evening out well
when he got a mid-pack start in Lites Heat #1 but was able to work his way
into the 6th place qualifying position.

His teammate, Justin Brayton, lined the gate for Heat #2. Although Brayton
has been under the weather with a head cold for the past three weeks, you
wouldn't have known based on his heat race performance. He brought his
KTM up into the top three picking up third place and a direct transfer to the
main.

All American KTM MX Fire and Police rider, Ryan Beat, placed 3rd in the Last
Chance Qualifier to transfer into his first main event on his new KTM 250SX-F
machine.

The gate dropped for the Lites main event and Laninovich and his KTM were
in the top five. Brayton wasn't as fortunate and started mid-pack.
Throughout the 15 lap main Laninovich held a top five spot staying ahead of
the pack. Brayton continued to charge forward and had moved into 7th by
the end of the race. Laninovich earned his best finish of the season when he
came across the finish line in 4th just one spot shy of the podium.

AMA Supercross class
MDK KTM Factory rider Nick Wey, fresh off his best finish at last weeks San
Francisco round, was "Ready to Race" at the gate drop for his Supercross
class heat. Wey had a mid-pack start and was able to break into the top five
to easily transfer into the main.

In the Supercross main Wey got a good jump but got pushed back to the
bottom of the top ten. He battled around 9th and 10th place for a while
before moving into 8th. He managed to hold off the hard-charging riders
behind him and finished 8th for the evening. full story on ktmpress.com
