CTS RACING’S CHRIS SIGLIN FINISHES 20TH IN AMA SUPERSPORT AT CALIFORNIA SPEEDWAY

Chris Siglin finished 20th in the Pro Honda Oils Supersport event at California Speedway in Fontana, California. Siglin had ongoing battles with several riders throughout the race including No Limit Honda rider Jason Curtis.

“I had an okay start, turn 2 and 3 were pretty crazy at the beginning but I just kept my eyes wide open and held my line through the left right chicane and I made it without any issues, but then I ran too deep into the first corner after the back straight and five guys got by me. I think I could have finished a little better if it wasn’t for the small mistake on the first lap” said Siglin. “My Suzuki ran great. I’m on a bone stock 600 motor which makes competing against these guys even harder than it already is. A lot of these guys just pull so hard down the front and back straight, there’s nothing I can do but put my head down and ride as hard as possible.

“My Pirelli tires worked great through the whole race, I was hooked up really well from start to finish. I just can’t say enough about Pirelli!” said Siglin. Chris was the top finisher in Supersport on Pirelli tires at California Speedway.

Chris would like to give big thanks to Ken Hill and the crew of Team Valvoline EMGO Suzuki for helping out during the Team Hammer Talent Search Presented By Alpinestars track days the week before the National. “If I didn’t get the help from them that I did last week, I don’t think I would have done as well and definitely would not have been comfortable on the bike,” said Siglin after the race on Sunday.

CTS Racing would like to thank:
Rich Siglin, Kenny Norman/Snap-On Tools, California Race Tire Services/Pirelli, Ken Bolinger & Assoc., American Suzuki, Team Hammer Talent Search, Arai, Helimot, Dynojet, VP Fuels, Motul, BRP, Cycle Gear.
