Sunada superior at CRC MX By Greg Robertson PALMDALE, CA, SEIT. 21 Akira Sunada ran away from the 12Sec Beginner field in both motos during California Racing Club's Saturday night motocross at the Los Angeles County Raceway. Aaron Clem's first-mota lead almost lasted a lap before Sunada made his way past on the jump-filled sand track. Iustin Scott was right on Sunada's back fender and also managed to put the move on Clem to take over second. Scott and Oem hung with Sunada for the first couple of laps before Sunada 'got used to the track and started pulling away. Midway through the moto, Sunada enjoyed a l()..second lead over Scott and Oem, who was trying to keep Tyson Tittl.emier at bay. As the ~umber of laps completed increased, so did Sunada's lead. When the checkers waved, Sunada was aU alone way out front. Scott finished a lonely second. Tittlemier overshot a big sandy berm with a lap remaining. allowing Clem to breeze home Ior third. Clem grabbed his second holeshot of the evening over Scott and Sunada as round two began. Sunada double-jumped past Scott on the first la p to take over second. Sunada zeroed in on Clem, pulled next to him entering the back straight and they were side-by-side over the following two big jumps. Sunada held the advantageous inside line into the next comer to grab the lead. Tittlemier came alive, passing Scott on lap one, then stuffing Clem in a corner on the following lap to control second place. Tittlemier was the fastest rider through a long selies of whoops and would almost catch Sunada there each time for the next few laps. Sunada picked up the pace in the second half of the race to walk away from Tittlemier for the convincing win. Tittlemier's 7-2 score gave him fourth overall behind the 2-3 rides of Scott and 3-4 score of Clem. Results P/W (0-6): 1. David Medina (Yam); 2. Shana Rhinehart (Yam); 3. Jared Sullada (yam); 4.
