Las Vegas, NV - The AMA Supercross series rolled into Sam Boyd stadium for the final round of 2010 and to close out the season in style with some epic racing action before 39k plus amped up fans. DNA Shred Stix 7/Star Racing/Yamaha came equipped with our three standout riders for the Dave Coombs East/West shootout. #20 Broc Tickle, #48 Max Anstie, and #577 Martin Davalos all had a big task in front of them as they were set to do battle with the Top 20 riders from each region. Pre-qualifying went fairly well, with all the Star boys keeping themselves in the mix of combined times between both east and west, fastest being Tickle in 4th and Davalos taking 6th.
The highly anticipated Lites east Heat got underway first in a positive way. Once out of the gate, Davalos was able to avoid any first lap carnage, in doing so he put his YZ 250F in the 2nd position. At times nearly battling for the lead, Davalos was able to ride out the sprint race and finish up in 2nd. In the qualifying Heat for the west, Tickle and Anstie both grabbed less than stellar starts to get things going. On lap three Tickle was on a fight towards the front, but an aggressive move combined with the slick soil sent him to the dirt. Unfortunately for Anstie time ran out, after struggling with track all day, Max kept forging upward. However he’d only rebound to an eventual 10th place finish, while Tickle stayed in tow coming away with 13th.
The LCQ blitzed out of the gate, with both Star riders circling the track upfront where it was crucial to be. Riding at the edge to make the main, Tickle assumed the lead on lap one while Anstie found himself in a three way battle for second. With one lap remaining, a race amongst three riders ensued with Anstie in 4th and needing that coveted second place transfer position. Digging deep, a few small mistakes relegated Anstie, to come away being two spots short of making the main. While Tickle took a deep breath knowing he was in the main event, he knew it was going to be even tougher with such a bad gate pick.
Main event time came, and with that the final try in 2010 to turn some heads was upon us, on lap one Tickle sat 12th, while Davalos held 16th. In the first half of the race, Tickle was struggling, leaving him to dig deeper to achieve any sort of good result. However, Davalos kept putting fast laps down and pulled up to the 10th spot and hung tough while dicing it out all the way through lap seven. In the meantime, Tickle finally took his speed on the track to a higher level and raced forward making substantial gains. On lap eight he overtook his teammate for 7th, pushing Davalos back to 8th who seemed to have lost his forward momentum. With the closing laps in progress, Tickle had nailed down the 6th position, and Davalos rebounded to 7th on the last lap making a good outcome to all the struggles they both incurred during the 15 lap race.
Star Racing thanks all these key backers for their quality service that helped make the 2010 Supercross season a success.

Seeing both #48 Max Anstie and #20 Broc Tickle achieve new things for the first time in their career that the industry has really taken notice of. Clear skies greeted the 51,442 fans that visited Qwest Field in Seattle, Washington for the penultimate round of the Lites West AMA Supercross Series.

The night show began with both the rookie and Tickle slated into Heat race #2, Anstie got the best of starts leading the field through turn one. This is when the big highlight all began to come together. Riding at his best and increasing his lead every single lap, Anstie rode flawless and was uncontested. In doing so, Anstie went on to win his first ever Heat race fresh off his hip injury. Also riding in a dramatic fashion, Tickle remounted after being taken down in a first turn pileup to come all the way up to a 4th place finish.

The 15 lap main event fired out of the gate, and once again Anstie was high up in the field, as well as Tickle after the first turn sitting in 3rd and 5th. Unfortunately, in the second turn the leader went down and Max had nowhere to go other than the ground to. Upfront, By the end of lap one Tickle had secured 2nd and was applying heavy pressure to the leader. Once Lap three was in circulation, it was easy to see how strong Broc was, and on this very lap he executed a pass into 1st. Now the leader, Tickle’s confidence kicked in, and he bolted taking the ridiculously treacherous track and making it look easy. Meanwhile, after not being able to restart his bike for some time, Max was nearly a half of a track length behind the second to last place rider in the early stages of the race. However, very methodically and fast, by the halfway mark the combination of those two things stated, enabled him to capitalize on other competitor’s mistakes. Lap eight saw the Yamaha pilot takeover 12th, and then on the very next lap he made a clean pass into 11th. At this point Tickle showed strength by finding his lines and breaking away to a good five second plus lead. With three laps remaining, Anstie was still on the charge and had made it to 10th. Never settling, the rookie prodigy leaped up to 9th in the closing stages of the race and went on to finish there. Back to Tickle, who took his DNA Shred Stix Yamaha 250F through its paces in the closing laps. Still riding solid as if he was a multi time winner, Broc successfully etched his name in the record books as a Supercross winner!

Houston, TX - The AMA Supercross series went to the mid west over the weekend, visiting Houston, Texas’ Reliant Stadium. DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha attended with high hopes for their lone East coast representative by the name of #577 Martin Davalos. The day started out fairly well for Yamaha backed rider, who put down an impressive lap time as 4th fastest in timed qualifying.

Slated into Heat #1, Davalos had been feeling confident all day and it showed when he reeled off a great start and settled into the 2nd spot. Immediately, Davalos started to apply pressure to the race leader with raw speed, and even nearly took the race lead for a brief moment. After filing back into the 2nd position following a few mistakes, Davalos regained his composure and had some luck on his side for sure. As mid way through the race the leader washed out his front wheel, and right there to capitalize was the #577 machine. Riding much more solidly as of late, Davalos rode on to a brilliant Heat race win.

When the gate dropped in the main event, this time Davalos was forced to sneak around the inside of the first turn in order to come out near the front of the field. Holding down 7th on lap one, Davalos wasted no time in getting out front and inside the top five. Racing with the lead group, Martin was once again establishing himself as a contender by holding his own and challenging for the 4th place position. Lap eight saw a minor setback after he missed his timing in a rhythm section, causing a slip of one spot to 6th. Not backing down one bit; he began to put his fitness to use and with only a handful of laps remaining until the checkers Davalos continued with lots of effort. Just for that he was graced with another touch of luck, when the third place rider took a soil sample on the final lap handing Davalos a stellar finish of 5th.
