David “Aussie Dave” Anthony took all three of the big-bore races at the WERA West Presented by Lucas Oil Products event at Auto Club Speedway on Sunday, Aug. 19.
Riding his Fly Racing/Motul-backed, Dunlop-shod Kawasaki ZX-10R, Anthony opened the day with a narrow victory over MotoAmerica racer and winner Richie Escalante on a Hudson Motorcycles-backed, Dunlop-shod Yamaha YZF-R6.
After six laps of the 2.36-mile oval/road course, Anthony crossed the line 0.481 seconds ahead of Escalante, turning a best lap of 1:28.161 en route to the victory. Sahar Zvik took third aboard his Kawasaki ZX-10R. Justin Simons, Fabrice Vilder and Louis Jutras completed the top six.
Anthony also won the A Superbike race over Simons and Vilder, and took the A Superstock win over Louis Jutras and Zvik. Escalante went on to win the C Superbike and C Superstock races.
Jeremy Toye, no stranger to the Auto Club Speedway circuit, entered the small-bore classes aboard the Kawasaki Ninja 400 he has been developing for the Ninja400R.com project and prepping for Ashton Yates in MotoAmerica competition, and took the wins in D Superbike, D Superstock and Clubman.
