It's Miller time at Firebird RR By Michael Ross CHANDLER, AZ, SEPT. 16-17 San Juan Capistrano resident Mark Miller rode IUs Avon-shod Kawasaki V<7 to big wins in the Heavyweight Superbike, Heavyweight Supersport and Unlimited Supersport classes Sunday during round seven of the CCS southwest Sprint series at Firebird Raceway. Miner was dead serious about doing well at Firebird after his excellent performance just weeks before at the previous CCS race in Las Vegas and had his head down, leaving little doubt that this was going to be his day. Miller Led the Unlimited Supersport race from the drop of the green flag, pulling away from V<(,mounted Greg Perry at the rate of one second per lap. Once Miller had established a comfortable lead, he backed off and cruised to the win. It was much the same story in his next race, the Heavyweight Superbike, where Miller put three seconds on David Roy's ZX7 after the first lap then extended that lead to five seconds by the halfway point. Miller then put it on autopilot to take the win. Miller's best lap was a 1:13.45, but he would better that lap time in the Heavyweight Supersport rac~ where he put away Dax Snow on the second lap with a sizzling 1:13.39. Miller went on to win by over 32 seconds. The only man able to stop the Miller juggernaut was track record holder Mark Foster and his TZ250. Foster did just that during the final and best race of the day, the Unlimited GP, where Miner took the holeshot and pulled out another big lead right at the start. 1t appeared early on that Miller would do it again, especiaiJy after he turned a 1:13.13 on lap five, but Foster was on the move and turned a best lap of 1:11.38 to pass third-place Marcus Hubbard and second-place Dax Snow. Foster then pressured Miller for several laps looking for a mistake that came on lap eight, when the Kawasaki rider went wide in tum four giving Foster just the opportunity he was looking for. Foster took the win by two seconds. "My bike wouldn't shift," said Foster after the race. lilt wouldn't shift into second at the start, then went three laps and stopped shifting altogether. r really had my hands full trying to learn a new slUfting style and catch Mark at the same time." Miller was pleased with his performance. "I had a good day with three wins and a second," Miller said. "My bike ran perfectly, and tlUs is a great birthday present." Results U IL S/SPRT: 1.
