Geoff May, Robert Jensen, Mark Junge and Dave Ebben each won a Suzuki-contingency-paying CCS sprint race at Road America Saturday, a day during which the temperature never exceeded 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
Vesrah Suzuki’s Junge and Prieto Racing’s May started dueling in Unlimited Grand Prix on their Pirelli-shod GSX-R1000s, but the race was red-flagged on the second lap for a crashed bike lying in the track.
Junge did not re-start the race due to a mechanical problem, leaving May free to run away to a clear victory, eight seconds ahead of Brian Stokes on another GSX-R1000 and Scott Greenwood, who rode a 2004-model Suzuki GSX-R750.
Junge came back later to take a runaway victory of his own in the Middleweight Supersport final, winning the four-lap race by eight seconds over 16-year-old Blake Young, Scott Harwell, May and Stokes.
The Heavyweight Supersport race was scheduled immediately after the Middleweight Supersport race, and many riders, including Junge, missed the warm-up lap and were forced to start from pit lane behind the field.
Riding a Michelin-tired 2002-model GSX-R750, Butler Machinery’s Robert Jensen came out on top of a four-way fight to win over Harwell, Stokes and Shawn Conrad. After starting dead-last, Junge still managed to finish fifth, in front of Greenwood.
Ebben only rode his Dunlop-sponsored Suzuki TL1000R as hard as he needed to win the SuperTwins race over Chris Merklein and Rick Bruer, both Honda RC51-mounted.
Due to delays in the tight CCS racing schedule and Road America’s 6:00 p.m. racing curfew, two of Saturday’s races had to be postponed until Sunday, which has a very crowded racing schedule of its own.
Rain is forecast for Sunday in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
