DOMINGUEZ SETS NEW SUPERSPORT OPEN LAP RECORD AT CHUCKWALLA VALLEY RACEWAY DURING ROUND 5 OF CVMA RACING FEBRUARY 21-22, 2015.
Wind and Blowing Sand Can’t Slow the Race Action at Chuckwalla
CVMA flagged off an astonishing 27 races this past weekend at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway during the 5th round of the club’s 7-event Winter Series. The Desert Center, CA, circuit hosted sizeable grids thanks to a strong turnout which included a contingent of racers from elsewhere, and a fresh batch of amateur competitors.
One of those amateurs was Adam Ayers, who slaughtered the Amateur Formula Middleweight competition on both days and won the Amateur Supersport Middleweight race on Saturday with consistent laps in the low-to-mid 1:50s on his Yamaha YZF-R6.
Former AMA Superbike and Supersport racer Dustin Dominguez joined the CVMA ranks this past weekend on his HSBK Racing Aprilia RSV4 in preparation for the MotoAmerica race at COTA in April. “It was my first time on the bike,” said Dominguez, “and my first time at Chuckwalla. We came out to try new setups, and every time we went out the bike got better.”
Indeed, Dominquez got his Aprilia and the circuit figured out in a hurry and went on to run an intense Supersport Open race against Marcel Irnie on his BMW S1000RR. Dominguez was glued to Irnie’s tail for the first half of the race but eventually passed him after clicking off a 1:47.9 lap—a new record for the class for the counter-clockwise direction.
In Sunday’s 12-lap Open Shootout race Colorado’s Rob Christman on his Suzuki GSX-R1000 and Dustin Dominguez on his Aprilia RSV4 scrapped for the lead, with several position changes in the final laps of the race. In the end, Christman led Dominguez to the line by a scant 0.5 second. Daytona Anderson took third aboard his Suzuki GSX-R1000.
In the middleweight classes, David Anthony kicked ass in Saturday’s Pirelli/Racer’s Edge Supersport Middleweight race on his Suzuki GSX-R600, leading flag to flag. The real action was behind Anthony as young-guns Jason Aguilar and Andrew Zabzydr fought on their Yamaha YZF-R6s.
“We changed positions multiple times throughout the race,” recalls Zabzydr, “it was intense, and on the last lap it was a drag race to the line.” In the end, Zabzydr took Aguilar by mere 0.05 second.
Racing resumes at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway the weekend of March 14-15. CVMA offers two full days of racing every race weekend and also includes Saturday qualifying and a wide variety of classes to choose from.
