Phoenix, AZ - The AMA
Supercross Series moved the slightest bit out of California over the weekend
racing in front of 39K+ fans at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. DNA Shred
Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha talents #20 Broc Tickle and #48 Max Anstie adapted to
the technical track quickly setting qualifying times that slated them
respectively into the night portion of racing.

 

Up first in qualifying Heat 1
was Tickle, who jumped out front with an awesome start in 2^nd.
Leading the way, in the second turn Tickle lost his wheels and hit the ground. Tickle
was able to remount, and quickly began carving his way up through the field. Track
conditions were tough to say the least, and once again the Yamaha pilot
suffered yet another fall. Now with only a few laps left, Broc continued to dig
deep in order to qualify, but he faced an insurmountable gap which meant he
would have to try his luck in the LCQ. When Heat 2 took to the track, Anstie
had put himself in with the top contenders seeing him hold down 4^th.
Unfortunately, at the tail end of lap one the third place rider went down in
the sand section and collected Anstie in the process. Now sitting nearly last,
Max put his skills to use, forging all the way up to 8^th by races
end and happily avoided the LCQ.

 

The always dramatic LCQ took to
the track, and drama it was. The very likeable Tickle, once again rocketed out
front right from the beginning. Riding a very clean and smart race when it
truly counted, Tickle rode on to the win.

 

The gate
dropped for the 15 lap main event and at the end of lap one, Tickle brilliantly
put himself in good position after a very bad gate pick, 10^th.  For the next two laps he would remain
exactly the same, only to see a rise of one position. Anstie in the opening
laps was suffering from some rookie blues; in 16^th position and
trying too hard he was having his troubles with the slick surface. The next
eleven laps, Tickle rode strong and steady as he always does which brought the
DNA Shred Stix backed rider up into 7^th. In the closing few
rotations of race Tickle managed to put his hard training ethics to use,
allowing him to jump up two more spots, finishing 5^th. Meanwhile Anstie
uncharacteristically just never came to grips with the track and gutted out a
finish of 15th.

 

This Wednesday, be sure to
catch our team riders signing autographs for more Supercross fans at Chaparral
Motorsports in San Bernardino CA from 6-8pm.

 

Star Racing thanks our valued
sponsors for their great assistance.
