A bigger kid means a bigger bike – but Sacha Agam is still racing just as fast and hard as ever.
Longtime readers may recall way back in our January 2020 issue of Ashburn Magazine – more than five years ago – we profiled Sacha, then 8 years old, and the many trophies he was winning on the mini motorcycle racing circuit.
We’ve learned that Sacha is still racing, but the motorcycles are bigger – he rides a 250 GP race bike – and the speeds are higher – as fast as 132 mph. And he’s only 13!
“Over the winter, Sacha received an upgrade to his racing license and is now an expert-class racer versus amateur class,” said his father, Omesh Agam. “He has been racing on full-size race tracks against adults – and still winning.”
Case in point – over Memorial Day weekend, Sacha raced at Summit Point Motorsports Park in West Virginia and reached the podium four times in four races, and two of them were for wins.
Sacha and his family continue to live in Ashburn’s Farmwell Hunt neighborhood, and he will be a freshman at Broad Run High School this fall. The high school probably doesn’t offer a course in motorcycle racing, but if it did, we know who would be getting an A+.
