Irvine, Calif. – Racing resumed Friday at Monster Energy Mammoth Motocross with the big bikes taking to the track for the first of three days of racing in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green’s Brandy Richards took home the first title of the week by sweeping both motos in the Women’s Amateur class. Team Green’s Thomas Covington also grabbed a podium in the Schoolboy class, taking third.

Not only are the Team Green riders getting busy on the track, but the technicians have also been working non-stop helping out tons of Kawasaki riders in need. Due to the altitude of Mammoth Lakes, which sits at 7950 feet above sea level, there is less oxygen in the air. For the bikes to run perfectly the air to fuel mixture needs to be tuned precisely and as a result, Team Green technicians have had an endless lineup of Kawasaki riders waiting to have their KXs tuned for optimal performance.

Though Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki mechanic Paul Perebijinos hasn’t been working at the AMA Nationals with Dean Wilson sidelined by injury, the former pro rider, turned race team mechanic got back on the bike this week to see how he stacked up in Plus 25 Non Pro. Wilson’s mechanic netted third overall with a pair of third place finishes.
