Ashton Yates Wins 6 Races During CCS Double-Header Event At Blackhawk Farms Raceway
Ashton Yates won every race he entered at round five of the Championship Cup Series’ (CCS) Midwest region this past weekend, July 20-21, on the 1.95 mile, seven turn course of Blackhawk Farms Raceway, in South Beloit, Illinois.
Ashton Yates was the class of the field throughout the continually changing track conditions all weekend. Saturday saw hot and humid weather with a heat index of 116, however an afternoon thunderstorm left racers trying to decide which tires to run as the track rapidly dried out after the storm. Sunday the temperatures were more favorable and the lap times reflected that as the pace was quicker than the day before. Yates set the fastest lap of the weekend, a 1:08.8, on his Vic Fasola Racing supported Yamaha YZF-R1 equipped with Dunlop tires after swapping positions for the lead with local racer Drew Jankord in Sundays Unlimited Supersport race. In the amateur ranks Kyle Berwald continued his dominance on his Kawasaki ZX-10R. Berwald set the fastest amateur lap of the weekend running a 1:12.929 in Sundays Unlimited GP race.
In the 600cc races, Nate Minster was the winingest expert, taking top honors in seven of his ten races. Minster set the fastest 600 lap time, a 1:09.695, riding his TSE Racing backed Yamaha YZF-R6 on Michelin tires. The middleweight racing was hotly contested all weekend long seeing experts David Collins, Ricardo Valdez and Patrick Coleman each taking wins as well.
In the lightweight division Shannon Anderson on her SV650 and Shawn Hill riding his FZ-07 regularly fought for the top step. Both riders won multiple times over the weekend on their Dunlop shod machines. In the Amateur category Ike Ozurumba led the field, notching several wins on his Bridgestone-equipped SV650.
For the ultralight classes, Drew Jankord set the pace taking seven victories on his Motorcycle Supply-supported Kawasaki Ninja running Pirelli tires.
