MotoAmerica Superstock 600 competitor Braeden Ortt and AMA/MotoAmerican pro racer Steve Rapp split the Formula One wins at the WERA West Presented by Lucas Oil Products double-header at Buttonwillow Raceway Park July 1-2.
In scorching triple-digit temperatures on both days, Ortt claimed a total of nine wins aboard his Dunlop-shod, Tuned Racing-backed Yamaha YZF-R6. Buttonwillow is in the back yard of Tuned Racing, so the team rolled the tractor-trailer and put in two solid days of work. Ortt, the Canadian who raced in the Supersport World Championship in 2016, currently sits in 7th place in the MotoAmerican Superstock 600 class.
Ortt raced in 13 events over the weekend, winning B and C Superbike, Formula One and A and B Superstock on Saturday, backing that up with wins in B and C Superbike and Superstock on Sunday.
Rapp showed up mid-day on Saturday, rolled his Dunlop-shod Aprilia RSV4 to the grid and won the A Superstock race, then absolutely ran away from MotoAmerica Superbike competitor David Anthony to win the Sunday Formula One race. After two laps, Rapp had nearly seven seconds in hand over the field, and cruised to a 14.269 second win over Anthony, with Christopher Carron third.
Anthony said he had not been to Buttonwillow for a decade, and had only turned three laps during that visit, and practice for all competitors on Sunday was limited to a single session in the morning.
Still, Anthony got his Dunlop-shod Fly Racing Kawasaki ZX-10R to the front in the A Superbike and A Superstock races in addition to his second in Formula One.
