Dimick Brothers, Galster Win at PPIR & Head to the AMA at Miller

MRA Round 2 was held at Pikes Peak International Raceway on May 21st & 22nd, with large crowds turning out to spectate the races.

In Race of the Rockies Dalton Dimick once again got the holeshot on his BMW S1000RR, with Shane Turpin and the younger Dimick brother, Colter, hot on his heels. Thrilling the crowds, Colter Dimick, riding a Yamaha R6, made a quick move past Turpin on the big BMS Ducati 1098R, and the Dimick brothers began to pull away at the front of the RoR field. The pace was blistering, with MRA #1 plate Dan Turner aboard his GSX-R1000 close behind Turpin, and AMA privateer Josh Galster right on Turner’s rear wheel. But by the forth lap Turpin had put his head down and was pushing Colter to the max on the R6. As the younger Dimick struggled to hang onto second place, Turpin made his move late in the infield and came onto the front banking focused on Dalton Dimick and the big BMW. Within just two more laps Turpin caught and passed Dimick and began to stretch out a small gap on the brothers. Galster meanwhile was all over Turner, showing him a wheel and looking for a place to pass. He finally found it late in the race, made his move and held onto forth for the finish. Final results had Shane “Tornado” Turpin taking home the win, with Dalton and Colter Dimick rounding out the podium and Galster and Turner finishing 4th and 5th respectively.

The Dimick brothers have been putting on a show for the spectators this year. Dalton Dimick only recently introduced little brother Colter, an experienced motocrosser, to road racing, but Colter has picked up the new discipline at lightning speed under his brother’s guidance. The brothers next head to Miller to compete in the AMA Daytona Sportbike and Supersport classes. MRA favorites Josh Galster and Ricky Orlando will also be racing Daytona Sportbike at Miller Motorsports Park over Memorial Day Weekend.
