The American Federation of Motorcyclists (AFM) held its third round of the 2022 season in rather blustery conditions May 21-22 at Thunderhill Raceway Park. With winds gusting up to 20mph it was a challenge for riders to find constant brake markers, which made for some exciting and close racing.

In 450 Superbike for example, the second-place battle between Jay Kinberger and Jesse Sims came down to just 0.073 second, with Sims coming out on top behind Daniel Lanuza who ran away with first place.

Open Superbike offered a preview into what was to come in the AFM’s Premier Formula Pacific class. Open Superbike had Bryce Prince besting former AFM #1 plate holder Andrew Lee by 0.0763 second, with Deion Campbell rounding out the podium in third.

The Oculus Financial Group sponsored Formula Pacific race again found Prince and Lee battling for the top step of the podium. Prince led eight out of the 12 laps, but in the end it was Lee finding his way past at the line winning by only 0.01 second. Brenden Ketelsen rounded out the podium fighting his way through a field of 1000’s aboard his Kawasaki 636.

The AFM season continues June 11-12 at Thunderhill Raceway Park.
