AMA Kicker Arenacross brought motocross racing action to the Reno Livestock Events Center over the weekend, with competitive events for professionals and local amateurs and youth.
The youth riders were a crowd favorite. While small in stature, they raced with a great deal of skill taking large jumps and throwing dirt up in the corners. The professional riders had a slightly different track which added a very large jump in the middle of the arena.
A number of northern Nevada racers placed in their events Friday, including first place finishers in the following categories:
- Ryan McElfish, Carson City, Vet Senior (40+)
- Ian Naccarato, Carson City, Vet (30+) and Vet Junior (25+)
- Casey Carmichael, Sparks, Schoolboy (14-17)
- Lux Turner, Gardnerville, Supermini (12-15)
- Lachlan Turner, Gardnerville, 85cc (9-12)
- Graeson Kahabka, Gardnerville, 51cc Limited (7-8)
- Austin Walker, Dayton, 250 Beginner (Non-Series)
- Tanner Clark, Reno, Beginner Open (Non-Series)

Perhaps less professional, but just as competitive, was an audience foot race. Ten audience members got to run the motocross course on foot trying to win a Kicker speaker.
