Billie Pangelinan gets some airtime during the 2024 MOTO IV Points Race Series at Cowtown Raceway Park on Sunday.
BILLIE Pangelinan is proving her worth in the Women’s Class of the 2024 MOTO IV Points Race Series after winning both round 2 heats at Cowtown Race Park on Sunday.
Pangelinan, who is riding a new bike, said she feels “a little relaxed because the women are not as aggressive as the boys.” She previously competed with the boys in the Mini II Class.
“But there will always be a competition as everyone is getting better with each race,” she added.
On Sunday, the young rider blew through both heats and gave the fans a show with airtime and sharp turns to finish first twice and earn 50 points.
Mari Alvarez came in second in both heats to bag 44 points while Merissa Rasa came in third to garner 20 points.
Despite Pangelinan’s flawless performance, she said, “I still have a lot to learn since I started riding a YZ250. I am still learning to adjust to its power and weight.”
She thanked her coach, Ellery Cruz, “for lending me his bike to race with when my bike broke.”
In the Mini II Class, TJ Ferrer continues to shine with another flawless finish to collect 50 points while Calix Cruz came in second to earn 44 points.
In the Mini ATV Class, Peyton Pangelinan cleared both heats in first place for 50 points followed by Nakoa Torres with 44 points.
In the PeeWee ATV Class, Ayven Sablan rode solo for 50 points.
