Billie Inabo Pangelinan now has two back-to-back wins in the Women\u2019s Class after following up her victory in June by topping last Sunday\u2019s 2024 \u201cMOTO IV\u201d Points Race Series at the Cowtown Race Park in Marpi.<\/p>\n

The 15-year-old Saipan Southern High School student nipped runner-up Mari Alvarez in the division after both lady riders finished with 47 points. Pangelinan, however, took the checkered flag after winning the second heat. Sheanna Pangelinan came in third with 40 points.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course during the first heat was really muddy and slippery. It rained all morning and once the races begun, the track had lots of puddles and mud everywhere! Before the second heat, the track was tacky and the turns were perfect. In my opinion that was the best the track has been and it was just so much fun!\u201d said Billie, who earlier in the season won the February and March editions of the Marianas Racing Association competition.<\/p>\n

The youthful Pangelinan said the transition from Power Puff Girls Class to the Women\u2019s Class has had its challenges and that was pretty evident in losing to Alvarez in Heat 1 last Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy main goal was trying to stay up because if I fall, the bike gets heavier when it\u2019s all muddy and since I am on a bigger bike, I unfortunately can\u2019t reach the ground, but with that being said, I fell twice on the first heat.\u201d<\/p>\n

She then dedicated her win to her parents and brothers for their continuous support and hard work in supporting her motocross hobby. Pangelinan also extended her kudos to her many sponsors, namely IT&E, Inas Kitchen, YCO True Value, 670 Rocksteady, TurnKey Solutions, Ericco Racing Team, Rep. Joseph Flores (Ind-Saipan) for the tent donation, and her coach Ellery Cruz.<\/p>\n

In the Power Puff Girls Class, Pangelinan\u2019s former rival, Miyako Celis, took the plum with a perfect ride for 50 points.<\/p>\n

Kesiil Camacho was second with 42 points, while Hiromi Sasamoto as third with 22 points.<\/p>\n

Results of the other classes will be published in the next issue of Saipan Tribune.<\/em><\/p>\n
