AMA Amateur Supercro$s ChampIonshIp SerIes: Round one
Gaian,Sundahl topple the
IIBigA"
By Lance Bryson
ANAHEIM , CA ,JAN. 31
T eam Honda's Dean Sundahl, along with teammate Tommy Gaian, showed the crowd of
2,000 just what stadium racing was all about
with 1-1 scores in the 0-200cc and 201-250cc
classes, respectively, in the
AMA
Amateur . Supercross
Championship Series in Anaheim
Stadium
The weather
With temps in the mid-70s, 23 threewheelers turned out to give the "Big
A" a thundering day of racing. There
were. however , only four" 2005, and
with the AMA rules, six are needed to
next class.
As the 23 three-wheelers lined up to
tackle the well prepared Supercross
track,
one
thing
came
to
mind -you've got to be kidding. The
track was well prepared, but with 23 of
these guys at the same time, it would
prove to be interesting. In the past,
2505 were started first with the 2005 let
go 10 seconds later. Today, two lines
were formed and positions were
drawn .
AS the gate dropped in moto one, it
was Sundahl jumping out first
foll?Wed by Steve "~oun~ Too Tight"
Honda's Mark "W ax" Weixeldorfer
and Many Han, on the second of two
Yamaha "entries.
Cunis . Sparks
boomed around the track fifth on his
l85S. Sundahl was flat on the gas and
moving out.
It looked as though Wright could
keep the fast pace up. but his luck
started running out. By lap three of
the six-lap race, Wright started to
fade. Wax got by along with Han and
Sparks. Hart had his 175 pegged to the
limit until a table top jump ended his
chances along with killing the motor
for top 200 . Haybales are not the
.
,
onacoune.
