Bronkies MX racer is burning up the MX tracks

12-year-old is in the championship lead.

The very young Lleyton Botha, a 12-year-old Grade 6 learner from Du Preez van Wyk Primary School in Bronkhorstspruit is giving other MX racers a run for their money on his GAS GAS as #63.

With only one round left to go, Lleyton is currently in first place with a whopping lead of 12 points and is burning up Motorsport South Africa’s (MSA) regional championship racing tracks. The deciding race will take place at Chestnut Hill on Saturday, October 15.

During his last race, Lleyton also partook in a three-day dirt bike festival at Legends Adventure Farm & MX Track and Rhino Park in the Cullinan district where only the crème de la crème of national MX racers have the opportunity to show what they have.

“Lleyton once again proved that he has what it takes and walked away with an overall third spot and R2 000 in prize money.

We are super proud of our champ,” boasted Garry Botha, Lleyton’s very proud dad.

The Botha family thanked Legends Motocross Park, Anarchy Classic Motorcycles, Vangani Racing, Bronkies Slaghuis, Auto Sense Service Centre, Action Auto Electrical and MB Transport for their loyal support towards making Lleyton’s dreams come true.
