Bauman Takes Ventura Short Track in ' Beachside Blowout '

Round 5 - May 11 , 2024
Briar Bauman ( No . 3 Rick Ware Racing / KTM / Parts Plus KTM 790 Duke ) scored his first victory of 2024 in Round 5 of the Progressive AFT sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing season , with an utterly dominant performance alongside the Pacific Ocean in the Memphis Shades Ventura Short Track at Ventura Raceway in Ventura , California , on May 11 , 2024 .
Mission SuperTwins Two-time Grand National Champion Bauman came into the weekend seeking not just his first Mission AFT SuperTwins win of the year , but his first podium of any kind . He ended that uncharacteristic drought in most convincing fashion , backing up a stirring win in the Mission # 2Fast2Tasty Challenge with a wireto-wire runaway in the Main Event . Bauman ’ s superiority finally brought order to what had been a chaotic affair
in the early going . A red flag flew moments after the initial start due to a terrifying incident that saw Johnny Lewis ( No . 10 Moto Anatomy X Powered by Royal Enfield 650 ) bounce off the wall and crash back into the crowded pack . That triggered a chain reaction that also collected Ben Lowe ( No . 25 Rackley Racing / Mission Foods KTM 790 Duke ), Declan Bender ( No . 70 GOMR / BriggsAuto . com / Martin Trucking Indian FTR750 ), and Morgen Mischler ( No . 13 Big Red Super Twins / Al Lamb ’ s Dallas Honda Transalp ), who completed a full forward flip in the air after contacting the downed Lewis and his machine . Miraculously , all four returned to their feet , with Lowe managing to return for the staggered restart . A second red was issued just as quickly following a spill by hometown hero Kayl Kolkman ( No . 98 Yamaha MT-07 ), who would also return for the subsequent restart . A third red flag was narrowly avoided when Davis Fisher ( No . 67 Rackley
Racing / Bob Lanphere ’ s BMC Racing Indian FTR750 ) bounced back up from a crash and immediately remounted , allowing the race to continue and at last find its rhythm . And the beat it drummed up was a victory march for Bauman , who was never challenged on his way to a 4.613-second margin of victory . The only rider who could even come close to keeping Bauman in sight was title hopeful Dallas Daniels ( No . 32 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT ). The Estenson Racing pilot actually started his push from fifth , slicing underneath Brandon Robinson ( No . 44 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750 ), Jared Mees ( No . 1 Rogers Racing / SDI Racing / Indian Motorcycle FTR750 ) and Jarod VanDerKooi ( No . 20 JMC Motorsports / Fairway Ford Ohio Indian FTR750 ) before putting himself in a position to make an honest try at reeling in Bauman . After that challenge proved insurmountable , Daniels had to be content with second , Mees took third ,

Parts Unlimited AFT Singles Presented by KICKER Tom Drane ( No . 59 Estenson Racing Yamaha YZ450F ) secured his second victory of the ‘ 24 season in an actionpacked Main Event that saw the tables turned more than once . Polesitter , points leader and double defending champion Kody Kopp ( No . 1
Rick Ware Racing / Parts Plus KTM 450 SX-F ) was immediately shuffled back to fifth off the line while Chase Saathoff ( No . 88 JPG Motorsports Honda CRF450R ) jumped at the opportunity to potentially run away with a second career victory after finally earning his maiden win last time out in Texas . However , it wasn ' t to be , with Drane eventually taking the win ahead of Dalton Gauthier in second ( No . 79 D & D Racing / Certified KTM 450 SX-F ) and Trent Lowe third ( No . 48 American Honda / Mission Foods CRF450R ), with Kody Kopp fourth and Saathoff fifth . There were four Honda CRF450R and four KTM 450 SX-F riders in the Top 10 , with one each on the Husqvarna FC 450 badged KTM and Drane taking the win on the sole Yamaha YZ450F . www . americanflattrack . com
