PRINCE AND SWIFT SET NEW LAP RECORDS AT CHUCKWALLA VALLEY RACEWAY DURING JANUARY RACING

Bryce Prince lowers Formula Middleweight class record, Quinn Swift sets new yet another class record for Formula 40 Middleweight.

Racing in January only happens in a few places in North America, and Desert Center, CA, is undoubtedly the epicenter of road racing action during the winter months. On January 19-20 Chuckwalla Valley Motorcycle Association hosted Round Four of its seven-part Winter Series, and while the weather was amazing all weekend.

The promise of fair conditions drew riders from across the country, and SoCal delivered on Sunday with calm and warm conditions that contributed to some intense racing and blistering-fast lap times. Fast laps include a record-setting 1:46.315 time by MotoAmerica Pro Bryce Prince on Saturday aboard his Yamaha YZF-R6 in the Formula Middleweight class. Prince lowered the bar while in first place, a position he held from flag to flag.

In the old racer class, a.k.a. Formula 40 middleweight, rider Quinn Swift, continues his domination of the class, securing a new class record aboard his Yamaha YZF-R6 with a 1:51.483.

During the CVMA Shootout race presented by TrackDaz and SoCal Trackdays, Michael Gilbert led after a mechanical problem forced David Anthony to DNF. Michael took the win aboard his Kawasaki ZX-10R, with Braeden Ortt and Jason Aguilar rounding out the podium on their Yamaha YZF-R6’s.

In the little bike classes, it was again the Rocco Landers show. This kid won every race he entered on his Kawasaki 400. Rocco won F2 , Ultra Lightweight Shootout, 500 Supersport both days, capping his weekend with a win in our MA Junior Cup Spec class.
