Brea, CA (4/3/2007) - Race day dawned
sunny and beautiful at the Decatur, TX Oak Hill race facility
on Sunday. Three straight days of rain, hail, and tornadoes,
left most of the competitors wondering if the track owners
would be able to even stage an event - but stage it they
did.
The track was prepped to perfection with plentiful
traction and good line selection. It was a great day
for racing as Team MSR/Pro-Taper/Yoshimura/Suzuki (Energized
by Rockstar) hit the track.
Heading into the first turn of moto one, Dustin Wimmer
was hit hard by another rider slightly damaging his
Suzuki QuadRacer® 450 in the process. Although not
running at 100%, Dustin's QuadRacer pulled him through
to a 4th place finish by the end of the moto.
Dustin's teammate and ATV legend ''Digger'' Doug Gust
had to pull off some evasive maneuvers on the start
himself but charged forward to an eventual 5th place
finish.

''The track was a little spongy, but I like this place
a lot,'' Doug commented between motos, ''I'm looking
to head up front in moto two, I'm fast in the whoops
and am feeling pretty good. My Suzuki QuadRacer is so
hooked up, all I have to do is race.''
Moto two saw Wimmer's Suzuki pull a monster holeshot
while Doug once again had to dodge some chaos on the
start, forcing him to come from behind. Wimmer set the
pace for the first five laps but at moto's end carded
a hard fought second place, and third overall.
Doug meanwhile worked his way up to a 4th at the checkers
to claim 4th place overall. ''I feel pretty good about
the day,'' Gust said afterwards, ''Everyone is still
getting things dialed in at this early stage of the
season, I do feel though like we've learned a lot of
set-up info today and I'm getting closer to being in
100% race shape. I'm sure we will be starting the WPSA
series really strong.''
