"Today was a dream come
true for me," Beach said. "I was
really nervous before the race
with the mixed conditions, but
once the lights went out, I went
to work. The team had the bike
working great on this tricky
track. I'm over the moon about
getting another Superbike win
to go with my AFT wins this
year. I want to thank Attack and
Yamaha for giving me this op
-
portunity to come in and fill in at
these last few rounds, and also
to the Estenson Racing team for
allowing me to do it."

"It was super crazy," Davis said. "The
track conditions were really, really
tricky. Just the red flags to add all
the tension into it. I hope everyone is
okay from all the red flags. This really
isn't how I wanted to win it, but I kind
of knew either me or Gus was going
to go down. We both had to beat the
other one, so we were both going to
push and either win or crash."

However, those who made the correct choice
of wets were home and hosed, but there was a
surprise name at the top of the listing. JD Beach,
the full-time AFT rider for Estensen Yamaha and
a former MotoAmerica Supersport Champion
and Superbike race winner, used every ounce
of his renowned wet-weather skills to march
towards the front and gap PJ Jacobsen by 5.4
seconds for a hugely popular second career
MotoAmerica Superbike win.
"Jiggy Dog" was sublime in the changeable
conditions, slipping and sliding the Fresh N Lean
Progressive Yamaha all the way to the flag.
