FOUR CLASS LAP RECORDS BROKEN AT CHUCKWALLA DURING ROUND 5 OF THE SEASON.

This past weekend Chuckwalla Valley Motorcycle Associate flagged off Round 5 of its 2018/2019 Winter Series at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway in Desert Center, CA, with Bryce Prince, Rocco Landers, and Mike Pond set new lap records.

In total an astonishing 4 class lap records were broken, including some that have stood for quite a while. New benchmarks were set in Ultra Lightweight Shootout (Rocco Landers, 1:53.748), Formula 40 Middleweight (Mike Pond; 1:51.500), Middleweight Supersport (Bryce Prince; 1:46.361), and The CVMA Shootout, Presented by TrackDaz, and SoCal Trackdays (Bryce Prince, 1:45.608).

The incredible speeds had many scratching their heads and wondering if the SoCal rainy season had given the racers supernatural powers, but the truth is CVMA has simply succeeded in attracting top-tier riders from across the country and beyond. This round included competitors and former champions from as far away as Canada and El Salvador, as well as MotoAmerica pros looking to dial in their bikes and their skills before the official start of the season..

Far and away the most exciting race of the weekend was Sunday’s 10-lap Shootout race, which saw a David-and-Goliath battle between David Anthony on his 1000s Kawasaki ZX-10R and Michael Gilbert on his Yamaha YZF-R6. Gilbert used his incredible skill and track knowledge to keep his less powerful motorcycle glued to the tail sections of the big bikes, and several times made impressive passes that could only be accomplished on a 600. In the end Gilbert came out on top with a hefty lead, with David Anthony finishing 2nd and only a fraction of a second behind was Bryce Prince on his Yamaha YZF-R6 in 3rd, setting a class lap record.

Rocco Landers again put on a clinic winning nearly every race he entered. Rocco scored wins in Ultra Lightweight Shootout (new class lap record), 500 Supersport, and Sunday’s Formula Twins race all on the Kawasaki Ninja 400.

The Twins class had some heat in it as well with MotoAmerica Twins cup racer Jason Madama coming out for a little pre season race laps. Jason scored wins in both Formula Twins and Formula 2 on Saturday with David Catalina finishing 2nd.

Tired of sitting around this winter looking at the snow? Road trip to SoCal and enjoy some sunshine and competition with one of the best clubs in the country. Racing resumes at Chuckwalla for Round 6 on March 30-31, 2019.
