WERA West: David Anthony Wins, Breaks Track Record In Las Vegas (Updated)

WERA West: David Anthony Wins, Breaks Track Record In Las Vegas (Updated)

© 2020, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. By Michael Gougis:.

David “Aussie Dave” Anthony, on a new Suzuki GSX-R1000, was the class of the open-bike field in WERA West Presented by Lucas Oil Products competition this February 28-March 1, taking four wins and smashing the longstanding track record for motorcycles at the circuit.

 

Anthony, who has switched to a Suzuki Superbike he bought from Team Hammer for 2020, ripped his Fly Racing-backed, Pirelli-shod GSX-R1000 around the 1.8-mile Classic Circuit in 1:16.009 to win the Formula One race on Saturday, then dropped his best time to a 1:15.049 in winning the A Superbike race later that day. That time was quicker than the 1:15.210 set by Jeremy Toye back in 2013.

Even though Sunday’s racers were greeted by steady 25-30 mph winds, chilly temperatures in the 50s and overcast skies, Anthony was right back on lap record pace, winning the A Superbike race with a best lap of 1:15.068. Then, as the skies cleared over the circuit, Anthony punched out a 1:15.000 on the second lap of the A Superstock race, then cracked off a 1:14.348 lap the next time around and backed it up with a 1:14.757 en route to the win.

Fly Racing teammate Bradley Ward won Sunday’s Formula One race on a Dunlop-shod Kawasaki ZX-10R, and Sahar Zvik was victorious in Saturday’s A Superstock race on his Pirelli-shod Kawasaki ZX-10R. Zvik also jumped on one of his former ZX-6R racebikes that he had not had at the track in years and won C Superbike on Sunday.
