Lancaster Comes From The Back To Take Four Wins At Thunderhill Raceway Park With AFM

Tucker Lancaster launched from the rear of 20+ bike grids to take wins in 750 Production Expert, 750 Superbike Expert, Formula 1 Expert, and Solo MID Expert. Lancaster, a 15 year old recent graduate to expert status thus having no points, started at the back of all his grids and worked through heavy traffic to gain his podiums on the 3 mile counter-clockwise road course.

Formula Pacific, the headline sprint race on Sunday had exciting action as well, Lenny Hale setting fast lap of the weekend at 1:47.800, besting Ricky Corey by .010. Corey, however, held on for the win. Also in Formula Pacific, two other riders made club history: Joy Higa became the first female racer to compete on her Suzuki GSX-R1000, and 14 year old Anthony Alonso became the first racer under 16 to compete on his Honda RS125, both finishing just outside the top ten. Alonso took home wins in Formula 2 and Formula 3 Expert. In addition Steve Metz, a ten season AFM veteran, took home his first win in Open Twins Expert with his 09 Ducati 1198S.

Top Novices from the weekend: for the heavyweights, David Doerflinger rode his Honda CBR1000RR to four wins in Open Grand Prix Novice, Open Superbike Novice, Formula 40 Heavyweight Novice, and Clubman Heavyweight. For middleweights Kyle Schirrmacher was the stand out with three wins in 600 Production Novice, 600 Superbike Novice, 750 Production Novice. Lightweights had Timothy Ames with three podiums as well; two wins in 650 Production Novice, Clubman Lightweight, and second in 650 Twins Novice.

The next event for AFM is June 30-July 1 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California.
