David Pillar takes an early lead and rides away with the ULGP win at the Sandia Motorcycle Road Racing Incorporated (SMRI) 2005 Race #2

Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 22/23, 2005: David Pillar pushed his Vanmar Racing, Cycle Gear, and High Velocity sponsored GSXR1000 to the front early during the 2nd ULGP money race of the SMRI 2005 season. Since David was well on his way to win his first SMRI premier ULGP event of 2005, Mike Shreve and Ray Thornton battled it out every lap to see who would claim the runner up spot. When the checkered flag was shown, it was David Pillar, Mike Shreve, Ray Thornton, Daryl Wichern, and Troy Runck rounding out the top 5 positions.

The SuperMoto race treated the SMRI fans to an epic battle of youth vs. experience, as young Sean Butterman battled with experienced supermoto rider Stefan Liebert and superbike rider Dave Dikitolia. These men swapped the lead multiple times on every lap. Dave Dikitolia lost traction and crashed after the tabletop jump in the dirt infield section while Sean and Stefan continued to battle. Once the dust settled, the teen phenomenon Sean Butterman collected the win with Stefan close behind in 2nd place.

After a morning full of plastic vs. concrete battles, the novice riders composed themselves enough to thrill race fans with an action packed Novice Open Race late in the afternoon. Rodney James, Drew Reid, Brett Cole, Daniel Franchino, and Andrew Van Vossen emerged from the early morning crash fest to race one last time before the sun set on SMRI’s 2nd event of 2005. When the checkered flag was waved, it was Reid in 1st, Van Vossen in 2nd, and James in 3rd.
