MDK/WWR's Voss, Rivas, and Mills Lead Team in Minnesota
March 20, 2008
Newbury Park, CA. MDK/Wonder Warthog Racing (WWR) had a successful night on a dry track that contrasted sharply with Daytona’s mudfest.

New MDK/WWR team rider Augie Leiber was less than a second off Mills pace followed by MDK Speed Equipment’s Tyson Hadsell right behind him. All three riders made the night show with ease.
Serious MX/Full Throttle/WWR’s Mike McDade was looking to have a breakthrough weekend, but a cased triple hard in practice ended his night short with a bruised chest. TJ Tiffany just missed making the night show. He’s riding better every weekend and is very close to qualifying.

In the Supercross class everyone made the night show that signed up.
MDK Speed-Equipment/WWR’s Manu Rivas lead the team in the first heat with MDK/WWR’s Captain Heath Voss (sponsored by the Air Force and Mastercraft) qualifying directly into the main event.
Also new to the MDK/WWR team is Supercross veteran Joe Oehlhof. Oehlhof is back racing the 450 class and has qualified for tons of main events! Look for him to come out swinging in Dallas.
The hard luck stories of the night went to MDK/WWR’s Jiri Dostal and Chris Gosselaar. Dostal has finished 10th in 6 Supercross class heat races this year, just missing a direct shot to the main event. Gosselaar had a qualifying position in sight up until a fall in the last corner ended his night. Both are riding really well but need a little luck in the next upcoming rounds.
Of the 11 MDK/WWR riders pitted out of the DeCal Works Hog Haven, 9 made the evening program. The Ride Smooth Award, presented by Smooth Industries, went to Ryan Mills as the top Lites finisher. In the Supercross class Heath Voss finished a respectable 14th in the main. Manu Rivas ran as high as 10th before a get off late in the main ending him up in 20th.
