DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha - San Diego

  • DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha - San Diego
San Diego, CA - Over the weekend, AMA Supercross visited Qualcomm stadium in San Diego, California for yet another exciting west coast round. Broc Tickle #20 and Max Anstie #48 of DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha showed up knowing this was going to be one of their last shots at some quick success. With the normal day program abbreviated due to the harsh weather, timed qualifying surely showed the team was in contention for strong performances by both riders.

Heat #1 had the Star Racing duo of Tickle and Anstie lined up on the gate, it was Anstie grabbing the holeshot who has honed his starting skills as of late. Tickle rounded the first turn in the rear of the field after getting out off the gate in a subpar fashion. On lap one with a small bobble entering a rhythm section, Anstie dropped into 3rd, while Tickle dodged a ton of wrecks and picked his way through the pack. Upfront Anstie rode tentatively with the compromised track conditions, but finished 3rd. Thankfully Tickle at the end of six laps, successfully stayed out of trouble and finished up in 5th.

When the Lites Main Event took to the track, it was Anstie again getting the best of starts sitting in 4th, while Tickle circulated outside the top fifteen. Up front, Anstie found the pace he needed to maintain, and started jumping a section of jumps before any other Lites competitors. (Note: Only a handful of riders actually ended up matching him) and made a pass into 3rd, which put his Yamaha in a sweet spot with the leaders just in range and with very little pressure from behind. Finding his race rhythm was Tickle who had risen up to the 10th position on lap three, and was moving up the field solidly. Still though, the most impressive riding that could be seen was by Max, lap after lap he consistently ran quick times showing that this was no fluke by any means. Lap six went into the books, and Anstie was putting the pressure on to take over 2nd. Then he pulled the trigger, and executed a block pass moving himself up to a solid 2nd. From there the hard charging 16 year old laid it all on the line as he went after the race leader Jake Weimer. With about three laps left in the race, Anstie had closed onto the rear wheel of Weimer and was set to race head to head. The two riders at this point where dealing with lapped traffic, unfortunately Anstie was held up to say the least. With the finish ahead, Anstie shrugged off his misfortunes and still believed he could take the win. Digging deep and trying hard Anstie raced the last lap hard still having hopes of winning. However Anstie with only two turn’s to go, had some troubles and crashed momentarily. Quickly remounting, Anstie would go on to finish a career best 4th on the night. Tickle pulled through on this occasion in good fashion, and came away with a 5th.

In the end Max was disappointed, however realized he now holds the speed to capture a more exclusive spot in the finishing order come this weekend’s race in Anaheim, CA.
