Hicks Places 6th at Ponca City
With the Mobile area having sucess in motosports with drivers Rick Crawford and Cale Gale making the big times, it is also known as one of the hotbeds of motocross talent along the Gulf Coast. The NMA Grand National Motocross Championship in Ponca City Oklahoma set a record of over 2700 entries from all across the US and countries abroad. Irvington Alabama Rider Jared Hicks and the Mobile Cycle Kawasaki Race Team finished with a 6th overall in the 450 Intermediate Class. Besides doing well on the track, the seventeen year old Bryant High School senior wrote an essay on the National Motocross Experience that has landed him one of the top 3 finalist for a scholarship from the
AMA Amateur National Championship. Jared will return to the local motocross race scene beginning his pro career racing in Baker Fla Aug 19th, and Atmore MX Park Aug 26th then he will participate at the Good Time Fall Nationals at MillCreek in Pell City Al in October, and The Mini O's at Gatorback in Gainesville Fla in November.
