Ryan Eager (373) left no doubt to his status as the top Intermediate rider at round seven of the MX West Summer Nights Series, taking decisive wins in the 125cc Intermediate, 250cc Intermediate and Schoolboy Division Two ranks.

Eager, who has been a top finisher throughout the Summer Nights Series, enjoyed comfortable leads at the end of many of his six motos, though he did face an especially sharp challenge from Johnny Vallerio in the first 125cc moto. After gating in first and second, Eager and Vallerio left the pack behind to engage in a two-man duel for the win. But although Vallerio never left Eager any breathing room, Eager rode mistake-free to hold onto the win by a narrow margin over Vallerio at the finish.

The second 125cc moto saw another holeshot by Eager, but this time Vallerio was buried in the pack, preventing a replay of the first-moto scenario. Eager soon stretched his lead and rode to another victory, crossing the finish with a comfortable lead. Vallerio charged back to score second on the night, and Andrew Valdez claimed third overall.

Just ahead of the Intermediates, the 125cc Pro class featured some odd happenings over the evening. After grabbing the early lead in the first moto, Nick Baugh began having problems with his rear brake. But just as it appeared that second-place rider Clint Martin was ready to pounce, he washed out the front end in a hairpin, leaving Baugh with a few seconds’ advantage over Justin Enos. And despite completely losing the rear brake lever midway through the race, Baugh managed to hold on to the win ahead of Enos.

The second moto unfolded with Baugh, back on the pace with a remounted lever, grabbing a slight advantage ahead of Martin in the early laps, only to wash out the front end himself just a turn away from where Martin had done so in the first outing. With that, Martin rode away with the win, leaving Baugh with second on the night. Baugh did, however, salvage his evening with a win in the 250cc class.

In the Schoolboy Division One ranks, Beau Meier piloted his Suzuki to the overall win, leaving first-moto winner Mike Walker and early leader Chris Grant to grab second and third overall. Meier also posted a third-place finish in the 250cc Intermediate race, following Eager and second-place rider Nate Vandermade to the finish.

The highly competitive Peewee Privateer classes featured an impressive ride from Gavin Clouser, who powered his way to a victory in the 7+ ranks. Caleb Fransden followed Clouser for second, and Ezra Calvillo scored third. Dawson Clifford earned his own victory in the 4-6 class, topping second-and-third place finishers Christian Anderson and Gaige Demars.
