MCALLISTER DOUBLES UP AT
STURGIS AMA SUPERMOTO
B
oth Gage McAllister and
Josh Jackson went into the
third round of the AMA Super-
moto National Championship
Series in Sturgis, South Dakota,
July 1, in search of redemption.
For McAllister it was to get over
last year's race at Sturgis, the
only blemish on the reigning Pro
Open champ's record in 2015.
For McAllister's Pro Lites coun-
terpart—Jackson—it was all about
bouncing back from disappoint-
ment at the previous round in
Loudon, New Hampshire. Both
McAllister and Jackson found
what they were looking for on
the streets of Sturgis, taking
dominant wins in their respective
classes.
"Honestly, being able to
redeem myself from last year
is probably the biggest thing,"
said McAllister who suffered a
mechanical failure last year. "I
didn't really have a good time
here last year, just because of
the way it ended. I really enjoyed
this weekend."
Joining McAllister on the po-
dium in race one was Hoffman
and Tyler O'Hara on the Tyler
O' Hara/Intents Racing/Motul
Honda. Dymond 43 School
rider, Micky Dymond, worked
his way through the pack to
finish fourth ahead of Australian
Josh McLean on the Lean Six
Sigma Racing Husqvarna.
In race two, there was a bit of
melee after the start in the first
dirt section. Hoffman crashed
and collected O'Hara, ultimately
bringing out the red flag and a
fresh restart. The second start
didn't fare much better for Hoff-
man who crashed again on the
first lap, but it definitely was bet-
ter for O'Hara who was able to
get past Six-Four Motorsports'
Shane Narbonne early on to se-
