CVMA’s ROUND ONE SEES DAVID ANTHONY DOMINANT
Sidecars and MRA Riders Join the Fray For the Season Opener
September 27-28, Round 1 of Chuckwalla Valley Motorcycle Association’s (CVMA) 2014/2015 Winter Series went down in Desert Center, CA, and saw racers from as far away as Colorado and sidecar drivers from all over the Southwest joining CVMA regulars for a full weekend of racing.
As in years past, the opening round of the CVMA season saw a contingent of SRA West sidecars as well as riders from Colorado’s MRA making the trek to Desert Center to partake in competition. MRA #1 plate holder Rob Christman was highly successful, landing on the podium several times aboard his Suzuki GSX-R1000. In the sidecar events, the practiced team of Bernard Juchli and Kevin Kautzky took the win on Saturday and Sunday ahead of three other outfits.
The SuperSport Middleweight class, home to some of the club’s youngest and fastest riders, saw some of the weekend’s most exciting racing as Michael Gilbert and Andrew Zabzdyr scrapped for the lead on Saturday and Sunday. Zabzdyr was victorious on Saturday, while Gilbert took the win on Sunday and also won Sunday’s Middleweight Shootout. Both riders will head into Round Two tied for points in SuperSport Middleweight, setting the stage for what is likely to be a thrilling season-long rivalry.
In CVMA’s premier class, Formula Open, David Anthony won going away both days aboard his Suzuki GSX-R1000 despite an overactive traction-control system. Anthony shared the podium with Rob Christman and Kenny Perez on Saturday, but on Sunday Brian Short edged out Perez for the final podium step, taking third on his Yamaha YZF-R6. Anthony also dominated Sunday’s 12-lap Open Shootout sponsored by SoCal Track Days leading the race from flag to flag.
FemmeWalla—CVMA’s all-female class—was ruled by visiting MRA racer Wyeth Jackson on her Kawasaki ZX-6R. Jackson won by a significant margin after clicking off numerous sub-2:00 laps.
In the 250 SuperSport and Ultra Lightweight Shootouts, Ari Henning was dominant on his Honda CBR250R, taking the win in both classes on both days despite fierce competition from Ninja 250 rider Josh Fogle and Ninja 300 rider Shane Liberty. While most weekends see several new class lap records set, Round One saw just one: Josh Fogle turned a 2:01.395 in Saturday’s Ultra Lightweight Shootout, a new best for the class using Chuckwalla’s counter-clockwise configuration.
Racing resumes at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway the weekend of October 18th and 19th. CVMA offers two full days of racing every race weekend and also includes Saturday qualifying for grid positions in all, as well as a wide variety of classes to choose from. Additionally, CVMA offers free reciprocity as a means of encouraging racers from other clubs to come out and compete.
