YATES AND ANTHONY SET NEW LAP RECORDS AT CHUCKWALLA VALLEY RACEWAY

David Anthony lowers The Shootout class record, Ashton Yates sets new class records in two classes.

While most racetracks in America are closed for the season due to cold weather, Chuckwalla Valley Raceway is dishing out hot race action as CVMA gets into the meat of its 2017/2018 Winter Series.

The club kicked off the third round of the series this past weekend, and Ashton Yates, son of multi-time AMA champion Aaron Yates, was kicking everyone’s butt in all the races he entered. While riding his Yamaha YZF-R3, Yates dominated the small-bike classes, collecting wins and setting new lap records in both 350 Supersport and Ultralightweight Shootout. Switching to a YZF-R6 for Sunday’s Formula Middleweight race, 18-year-old Yates showed himself to be talented on anything with two wheels by leading from flag to flag.

Andrew Ortola kept Yates in sight on Sunday morning, and in the remaining 600-class sprints—Saturday’s Formula Middleweight race as well the Supersport Middleweight races on both Saturday and Sunday—Ortola took the wins unchallenged on his YZF-R6.

Dipping into the high 1:45s on his Kawasaki ZX-10R in Sunday’s 10-lap Shootout race, David Anthony set a new lap record for the class en route to a win over Josh Hook on his Honda CBR1000RR, with young-gun Andrew Lee coming in third on his ZX-10R. Anthony also took wins in Formula Open on both Saturday and Sunday, while Lee brought home two victories of his own in the Supersport Open races. In Sunday’s sprint, Lee even managed to lower the lap record.

Racing resumes at Chuckwalla on January 20-21, 2018. CVMA offers two full days of racing every race weekend and also includes Saturday qualifying for grid position in all classes, amateur and expert, as well as a wide variety of classes to choose from.
