CVMA Racing Round 3 2020/2021 Winter Series
Racers from all over the country swarmed to the desert oasis that is Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. The warm desert climate attracted some of the fastest riders in the country to come race with CVMA for Round 3. With a near record number of racers turning up for the race weekend, the competition at CVMA was hot while the rest of the country was chilling down.
Saturday morning practice started under cooler temperatures, but the newly resurfaced track warmed up for qualifying. Just in time for riders to turn their fastest laps.
· In the Ultra-Lightweight classes, Aden Thao was the fastest with a 1:53.927 lap time.
· Rocco Landers topped the time sheet for the Middleweights, turning a 1:47.841 in his first time racing a Middleweight (600cc) bike.
· Ralph Staropoli had the fastest time on a Lightweight bike at 1:54.390.
· David “Aussie Dave” Anthony was fastest on a Heavyweight (1000cc) bike, turning a 1:45.694.
The racing action started on Saturday with a good battle in the 350 SuperSport class. Sofia Amadio had a great start from the second row to lead the race going into the first corner. Sofia was quickly overtaken by Savannah Jaska. Then Matt Cavarlez made an aggressive pass at the end of the first lap to take the lead. Matt was able to put some ground between himself and the battle for the remaining podium spots throughout the race, ending up with the win. Savannah and Sofia secured the final places on the podium.
Rocco Landers started his weekend off right with a win in the second race of the day, SuperSport Middleweight.
The fifth race of the day saw David “Aussie Dave” Anthony reset the lap record in the Formula Open class several times, turning a fastest lap of 1:44.043 on his Fly Racing GSX-R1000. That lap set a new lap record for the class and a new competition track record in the counterclockwise direction.
In the Ultra-Lightweight shootout, old age and treachery trumped youth and exuberance in the end. Veteran Ralph Staropoli drafted past the young gun Owen Williams at the finish line for the closest race of the day. Early leader in the race Aden Thao finished in the final podium slot after leading the first few laps. Staropoli recovered from a poor start to pass Aden and chase down Owen. Ralph shadowed Williams on the last lap and used a draft pass right at the finish line to take the win.
Sunday morning started off with a bang when David “Aussie Dave” Anthony, riding his Fly Racing GSX-R1000 Superbike, reset the competition track record time turning a 1:43.253 lap time in the second race of the day. David’s lap time also set a new lap record for the Formula Open class.
In the premier race of the day, the CVMA Shootout, David “Aussie Dave” Anthony started off by setting a new lap record for the Shootout on the first flying lap of the race. David turned in a 1:43.892 on his Fly Racing GSXR1000. “Aussie Dave” checked out and turned in consistently fast lap times to take the win by a wide margin. Rocco Landers and Michael Gilbert, both racing 600cc motorcycles, started off well and ran nose to tail for the first half of the race with Rocco leading Michael. Michael made an attempt to pass on Lap 7 going into Turn 3 on the brakes, but had a moment on the corner exit allowing Rocco back around. Approaching the white flag, he passed Landers on the brakes going into Turn 3, made it stick this time, and held second position for the final lap to finish just in front of Rocco.
