DJ Bassani
Jersey Bomber
Back up, stand out of his way, because he's coming through. Or, you might venture to say, the "Jersey Bomber" is on the track and he's laying waste to the competition like a WW2 ace pilot knocking off Jap fighter planes like they were sitting ducks in an arcade. Bassani's his name, and domination in the 50cc ranks is his game.
Racing out of Sussex, New Jersey, this young ATV racer has proven himself in the past and is proving himself once again in the 2010 MX Nationals. Known as DJ, and looked up to by numerous young aspiring racers, Bassani has built himself a reputation as a competitor of the highest level.
Beginning in 2009 with a championship in the 50 Limited Junior (4-6) class where he took home seven event wins and snuffed out the competition, winning the title hands down with a 73 point spread between himself and the runner-up in the class, the young Bassani has continued his reign of terror on the youth ranks. Moving up a notch in the youth classes, he competes this year in the 50 CVT (6-8) class at the AMA-ATV Motocross Championship.
Once again, as with year's past, the Jersey Bomber has his sights set on winning another championship and so far, with 5 of the 6 round series in the books, is carrying out a successful, title winning strategy. Bassani currently holds the status of the top dog in the class. He's won every round so far and, after five rounds, led the overall points standings by a whopping 73 points.
If he keeps up his battle plan he'll find himself on top of the podium once again when they hand out the championship titles at the end of the season. Then, woe be it to those in the class he chooses to run next year. One can hear the whispers now,
"Did you hear it?..."No, what?"..."The Jersey Bomber's gonna run our class next year?"..."Get outta here."..."No, really."..."Welp, looks like we're doomed."..."Yep, probably so."
