The Peewee Class welcomed several new riders in its first event for 2021, but old-timers Jonoah Santos and Ezekiel Camacho still prevailed in their respective competitions during the Marianas Racing Association Series 6 last Sunday CowTown Raceway in Marpi.
Camacho ruled the Peewee Class 1, as he started and ended the five-lap race as frontrunner. Harley Susulin, who finished third in the first two laps, moved up to second after the event, as she pushed harder in the last three laps to bump off Zane Fujihira. Series 3 winner Fujihira dropped to third in the Peewee Class 1, which drew the most participants (12) in last weekend’s event.

Kimason and Rockson Cabrera, Leighton Palacios, Benthley Koshiro, Tate Manglona, Kassidy Villagomez, Ramon Camacho, and Keoni Rosario were the other riders entered in the Peewee Class 1.
In the Peewee Class 2, Santos notched his fifth win and fourth straight after beating seven other riders.
The repeat winner was in control of the race from start to finish to extend his reign in the division. Rylie Manglona and Nevaeh Camacho joined Santos in the Top 3 overall rankings, as the former jumped from fifth to second after making the move in the last three of the five-lap race. Nevaeh was ranked second in the first two laps, but dropped a notch in the overall ladder after placing third in the final three laps. Keenon Togawa, Therese Manglona, Trey Manglona, Brooklynn Susulin, and Skylar Togawa rounded out the finishers in the division.

In the ATV (same class), Nevaeh was the top finisher and was followed by Borja, Brooklynn, and Skylar.
In the Expert Open race, Shane Alvarez was the first overall finisher and also topped the dirt bike category.
Alvarez took the first three of the eight-lap race and after losing the next four, he came from behind and won the last to prevail in the division. Angelo Hernaez and Alvarez’s brother, Alverick, completed the Top 3, while Franklin Santos, Christian Camacho, and Melvin Cepeda also joined the race.
