Red Riders Race Report: Anaheim III Supercross Lites class -ozzy go-

Jake Weimer of the Honda Torco Racing Fuels team started out
the night in blazing form, taking the Heat One win on his
CRF250R ahead of last week’s overall winner, Jason Lawrence.
TroyLeeDesigns/Honda/Redbull riders Chris Gosselaarand Justin
Keeneyslotted in fifth and eighth, and in all, six of the top nine
riders were astride Honda CRF250Rs.

Heat Two saw Gavin Gracyck take his CRF250R to a well-paced
sixth, while Dan Reardon grabbed fourth in the LCQ to transfer
to the main.

At the drop of the gate, Jake Weimer’s hopes for a repeat of his
Phoenix win disappeared in a cloud of roost, as an opening-lap
crash put him out for the night. Kyle Cunningham emerged from
the first-lap meleé in an impressive third place, just behind
Jason Lawrence and Austin Stroupe. CRF riders Gavin Gracyck
ran in 12th, Dan Reardon in 13th, and Justin Keeney in 14th
after the first lap

Reardon wrestled his CRF up through the field; by lap five he
was already in tenth, and he continued his dash from the back.

Up at the front, Kyle Cunningham was waging a brave fight to
stay in the top five. Which is where he finished, with Honda
riders Dan Reardon coming in eighth, and Gavin Gracyk tenth,
and Justin Keeney in 13th.

As the loam settled back to the Angels Stadium floor, Honda
Torco Racing Fuel’s Dan Reardon stood third in the SX Lites
points race. The Lites’ western division has just two races (San
Diego, Houston) before their long layoff period. Next week’s
race is just down the road from Anaheim, in San Diego,
California, a stone’s throw from Jeremy McGrath’s home.
