Derek Costella at Mini Moto SX 2012
Derek Costella was fast as always - but when you've won Mini Moto 6 times you have a huge target on your back.  Derek didn't have one clean lap all weekend.  He still had a blast as usual.  Photo courtesy Drew Ruiz.

Duane Brown at Mini Moto SX 2012
It took 9 years but Duane Brown finally got it done - winning the 50 Stock/Mod class.  There were sparks flying and bikes littered all over the track but everybody seemed to be smiling afterwards.  Photo courtesy Drew Ruiz.
 
Duane Brown at Mini Moto SX 2012
Duane Brown raced his 1978 XR75 in the 150 class.  He hole shot and led for half a lap but that was as long as the glory lasted.  Here he looks for Shawn Rinehart - expecting payback for a rough qualifier!  2 corners later, Shawn dropped the hammer and cruised to the big win.

Here Duane leads the 50 Stock/Mod class with Ricky Fitzgerald close behind.  They swapped paint in every corner and had an epic battle.  Duane and Ricky both called it the wildest 50 race ever.  They both have the bruises and big smiles to prove it.  Photo courtesy Adam Booth.

Hiroshi Nakayama came over from Japan and won the 10" Amateur class on his BBR bike.
