Star Racing/Lucas Oil/Yamaha Atlanta SX Race Recap

2/24/07 – Star Racing/Lucas Oil/Yamaha came to the first East coast Lites AMA supercross prepared as usual with Sean Collier and Broc Tickle. There was a lot of hype surrounding the event in Atlanta, Georgia and both kids soldiered through the race the best they could and will definitely move ahead of the competition.

In the heat races, Sean Collier rode well to a 5th place finish, which really helped him start to find his skills after a rocky few months leading into the season. Our high hopes with rookie Broc Tickle stood strong all night, the North Carolina resident hurt his ankle in the first practice making him questionable from the beginning though. However, Tickle made do only to continue to have a tough go all night with several crashes. Crash number one sent him to the LCQ and another kept him from qualifying for the main event.

The main event started, and Collier was 19th…Lap after lap he charged right up the field, halfway flags flew with him sitting around 14th. In the closing stages, Sean picked off a few more riders finishing 11th…

For the week going into this weekend’s race in St. Louis, all of the boys have setup shop at Kevin Windham's great facility in Louisiana for some very hard training. Look to see a stellar performance at round two Saturday night!
