A contingent of eight determined riders from the Bermuda Motocross Club has concluded a grueling stint in Florida, testing their mettle against a world-class field at the prestigious Annual Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross.
The iconic Daytona International Speedway, known for its deep sand and punishing ruts, provided a stern test of endurance and technical skill for the island's representatives. Leading the charge for the veteran riders, Allan (LJ) DeGraff delivered a masterclass in consistency within the Vet 30+ B/C Class. DeGraff secured back-to-back fourth-place finishes in his two heats to claim a highly impressive fourth place overall, establishing himself as one of the standout performers of the event.
In the same division, Aaron Cannonier battled through the demanding conditions to secure a top-ten finish. After an eighth-place finish in his opening heat, he crossed the line tenth in the second to claim tenth overall. The veteran categories saw further representation from Jason Harrell, who displayed remarkable steady form in the Masters 50+ Class with identical 23rd-place finishes across both heats for 23rd overall, while Robert (Bobby) Lambe navigated the Senior 45+ Class to finish 24th overall following 25th and 24th place results.
Bermuda's younger stars also faced the fierce "Daytona rubble." A’jahni Foggo undertook a busy schedule, competing across two divisions. In the Mini Sr. 1 (12–14) Class, Foggo finished 18th overall after taking 20th and 18th in his respective heats. He improved on that standing in the Mini Sr. 2 (13–15) Class, where a 15th-place finish in Heat One and 17th in Heat Two earned him 17th overall.
The grassroots categories saw Diego Daniels claim 15th overall in the 51cc 4–6 Class after recording 9th and 15th place finishes, while A’Kyo Cannonier finished 33rd overall in the Mini E 4–8 Class following a 14th place in his opener and 33rd in the second. There was disappointment for King Clarke in the 65cc 7–11 Class, whose promising run unfortunately ended in a non-finish. Despite the varied results, the appearance of such a significant Bermudian contingent at the "World Center of Racing" underscores the continued growth of the sport on the island.

North & Horseman Master the Elements in Karting Championship
IslandStats.com
The Bermuda Karting Association delivered a masterclass in high-stakes racing as thirty-nine competitors braved mixed conditions and overcast skies for the 2025-2026 Rubis Energy Karting Championship - Race Day #11. With the track surface shifting between dry and rain-slicked, the event at the Southside facility became a true test of adaptability, forcing teams into critical split-second decisions regarding tyre strategy.
The L206 class provided some of the most engrossing duels of the afternoon. Jason North asserted his authority early, dominating every lap of the opening heat to finish ahead of David Selley and Brian Bulhoes. The rivalry intensified in the second heat as North led for the majority of the race, only for Selley to produce a clinical late manoeuvre to snatch the victory. However, as the heavens opened for the third heat and the field switched to wet tyres, North regained his composure to claim his second win of the day, followed across the line by Justin Lindo and Selley.
In the Tag Senior division, Blake Horseman proved to be untouchable, delivering a perfect sweep of all three heats to cement his status as the man to beat. Nathan DeCosta showed remarkable consistency to secure two second-place finishes, while Ryan Burgess and John Carreiro Jr. both made appearances on the podium during a competitive day for the senior ranks.
The junior categories saw Tanner Correia emerge as the standout performer of the weekend. Correia enjoyed a double success, taking top honours in the Tag Junior class and following it up with a dominant sweep of the Cadet heats. In the Tag Junior field, he was pushed by Alondro Albouy and Jonathan Linberg, while Jacob Garrett and Miguel Cabral provided the primary challenge in the Cadet division.
The gearbox classes remained typically unpredictable. In KZ Master, William Dunkley secured two heat victories, though he was pushed all the way by Jason DeCouto, who claimed the remaining win. The standard KZ class proved to be the most dynamic of the afternoon, with three different winners across three heats. Ryan Burgess took the spoils in the first, Stephen Corrado triumphed in the second, and Horseman returned to the top step in the finale to cap off a day of intense tactical racing.
Despite the challenging weather, the depth of talent within Bermuda’s karting community was on full display as the championship battle continues to build significant momentum heading into the final rounds of the season.

The roar of engines returned to the Southside Moto Sports Park as the Bermuda Motocross Association hosted the high-octane second installment of its Triple Crown Race Series. While a slate of local celebrities took to the dirt in a special exhibition, it was the seasoned veterans and rising stars of the bi-weekly circuit who stole the spotlight with a display of technical precision and raw speed.
In the marquee Expert class, Allan DeGraff once again proved why he is the man to beat on the island circuit. DeGraff showcased a masterclass in control, navigating the demanding jumps and tight corners of the St. David's track to claim the overall victory. He was pushed throughout the afternoon by Preston Martin, who delivered a spirited challenge but ultimately had to settle for the runner-up spot in the day's premier division.
The veteran ranks provided some of the most consistent racing of the afternoon. In the Over 40 class, Lorenzo Burch emerged as the dominant force, fending off Ashley Simmons and Bobby Lambe, who finished second and third respectively. The lead group was rounded out by Jason Harrell and Judson Williams in a field that tested the endurance of the island’s more experienced riders. In the Over 30 class, Aaron Cannonier showcased his experience to secure the top step on the podium, finishing ahead of Lorenzo Burch and Dillon Carreiro, with Kenshae Mills-Wilson and Willem Vermeulen completing the top five.
The Novice class saw a breakthrough performance from Anyari Persad, who took the overall honors in a crowded field. Mikah Alves secured a hard-fought second place, followed by a busy A’jahni Foggo, while Deige Paynter and Messiah Levrock finished strongly to round out the lead pack. The future of the sport was equally impressive in the 85cc class, where A’jahni Foggo claimed the victory, topping the leaderboard ahead of Azai Burt and Mazaii Tucker.

The 50cc class was won by A’kyo Cannonier, who held off challenges from Ace Moniz and Diego Daniels.
Finally, the youngest riders of the day in the PeeWee class proved to be a major draw for the crowd. Diego Daniels displayed remarkable control to finish first in the group, leading Eli Philpott and Massiah Smith across the line, while Kailo Young and Jay'a Nesbitt-Rayner earned well-deserved spots in the top five of the grassroots category.
