Weimer Takes Fourth Victory Of The Season In San Diego

Posted Feb 8, 2010 10:00 AM by i am vans
Vans and Monster Energy Pro-Circuit Kawasaki rider Jake Weimer was back on top of the podium with the win in San Diego! The rain was back for supercross this past weekend in San Diego making for a long day in the pits.Saturday night the plastic tarps were pulled off the dry preserved track to try and give the fans the best racing possible for the wet and cold evening! Once the main event was underway Jake Weimer blasted out of the starting gate with the holeshot leading the Lites field all 15 laps to the checkered flag taking his fourth victory of the season!
When it was time for the Supercross 450 Class to take the track the rain was back for another shower watering the dirt making for a slippery technical track. Once the gate dropped, Ryan Villopoto had his work cut out for him as he had a bad jump out of the gate to make matters worse Villopoto was not able to avoid a first turn crash and found himself on the ground while scrambling to get back on his motorcycle he noticed that points leader Ryan Dungey was also mixed up in this crash. Villopoto had the motivation that he needed to get back into the race and earn some very valuable points over Dungey as Villopoto was able to remount his motorcycle first and resume racing, once Villopoto was able to get into his groove his next job was to work his way to the front of the pack. Once the checkered flag was pulled Villopoto was able to cross the finish line in 4th place only leaving him 10 points out of the series top spot.
