The Torco Racing Fuels Honda team had to be happy in Houston.
First of all there was Windham’s win, but in the Lites class, both
Dan Reardon and Jake Weimer had good showings in the first
heat. Reardon finished third, with Weimer in fifth. In the main,
the two riders’ positions switched. Weimer got an excellent start,
rounding the first lap in third, while Reardon was back in 14th.
Reardon began his march forward, riding through some tough
traffic but eventually battling his way up to a respectable sixth.
Weimer, on the other hand, was slugging it out with the fastest
riders in the field, passing, getting passed, and repassing in the
earliest laps. By lap four he was in a solid fourth, where he rode
most of the race. But on the last lap, Weimer had come within
striking distance of Brian Metcalfe. Metcalfe crashed, and Weimer
took over third. Yet the race was far from over. Within sight of
the finish, Weimer himself went down, but kept his bike running
and remounted without losing a spot—a well-earned third place
for the Torco Racing Fuels Honda rider! hondaredriders.com
