Kawasaki riders took all of the podium spots in the Formula One
races at Las Vegas, as Sahar Zvik and David “Aussie Dave” Anthony
split the headline wins in the WERA West Presented by Lucas Oil Products
double-header at the 1.8-mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway Classic Course, now renamed as the Pirelli Proving Ground circuit.
Zvik took his Dunlop-shod ZX-10R to a 3.792-second victory
over Nathan Shipman on another Kawasaki in Saturday’s Formula One race, with
Brian Evans third but almost 10 seconds behind Shipman. Zac Miller, John
Dubois and Thomas Asseo rounded out the top six.
Zvik took the A Superbike win and third in A Superstock,
while Terry Heard took another ZX-10R to the A Superstock win with Shipman in
second. Chad Tieszen took second in A Superbike, with Zac Miller third.
On Sunday, Anthony showed up on his Pirelli-shod ZX-10R and
took the Formula One, A Superbike and A Superstock wins, turning a flying
1:14.836 lap en route to a 21.352-second margin of victory. Zvik took second in
all three of the races, with Bradley Ward third in Formula One, Tieszen third
in A Superbike and Heard third in A Superstock.
Connor Funk and his Yamaha YZF-R6 took seven wins in eight
mediumweight starts over the weekend, winning both B Superbike, B Superstock
and C Superbike races as well as Saturday’s C Superstock event. Only Ward,
aboard another Yamaha YZF-R6, prevented Funk from a clean sweep, beating Funk
by 1.013 seconds in Sunday’s C Superstock race.
