Rockstar/Canidae Suzuki Race Report: San Diego

  • Rockstar/Canidae Suzuki Race Report: San Diego
Another storm swept through Southern California on Saturday, and threatened to turn the fifth round of the AMA/FIM Supercross Championship into a mud show, but the Dirt Wurx crew came to the rescue once again by shielding the track through the worst of the rains. The intermittent showers that followed were enough to make the track slick and soft, but without the efforts of the Dirt Wurx team, the conditions would have been much worse.

In the Lites class, Hunter Hewitt fell victim to the slick track and missed qualifying in his heat race, but came back strongly to win the LCQ.  In the main, Hunter pushed hard and was running seventh until a crash on the fourth lap.  Hunter recovered and raced his way to a respectable twelfth place finish, his second-best of the season. Hunter is looking forward to pushing both himself and his RMZ-250 at this coming Saturday's Anaheim-3 round.

The slick track claimed several victims in the Supercross class as well, including Rockstar Energy Suzuki rider Tommy Hahn. Tommy got off to a solid start in the main aboard his RM-Z450, but got involved in a pile-up going into turn one that took down several other riders. The crash put Tommy toward the back of the pack, but he wasn’t out of the race just yet. “I rode as hard as I could, and just focused on making some progress,” said Tommy. His efforts made it possible for him to work his way back through the pack to a seventh-place finish, his best so far this season. Team manager Bill Keefe also commented on Tommy’s stellar performance, saying, “Tommy's charge to seventh was, without a doubt, his best ride of the season. It’s unfortunate he was involved in that first-turn crash.”

With both Tommy and Hunter showing improvement with each race and the potential return of Lites-class rider Ryan Morais, this weekend’s Anaheim 3 round will surely prove to be an exciting one for the Rockstar Energy Suzuki team.
