WERA Endurance Series -Grattan
Team Zyvax created their own fireworks on the track during the 4th of July WERA with the #7 R6 coming in first overall. Despite the big power of the teams Yamaha R1, the little brother Yamaha R6 stood out as the champion in all out lap times during the shortened endurance race.
Perfect weather and perfectly prepped bikes and riders could not outweigh the less than perfect track conditions.Taking it all in stride, guest rider Jason Disalvo with team riders Dane Westby and Clinton Seller put in careful but lightning quick laps . With the help of his uncatchable R6, Westby bought his team an early thirty-seven second lead and set the pace with the fastest lap time of the race. “I just went crazy from the beginning; flying off the jump, landing at the apex and flicking it in” said Westby.
Ben Bostrom and Chris Clark were new to Grattan Raceway and they too were forced to deal with the loss of track time. Even more challenging was hooking up the more powerful R1. Bostrom and Clark had to adapt to track conditions and work hard to get horsepower to the track. “The R6 has loads of grip!” said Bostrom, “Dane just left me! But I was having so much fun learning each hole on the track. It got more exciting every lap.‘
