Pan America 1250 Riders Notch Two Super Hooligan Wins
KWR/Harley-Davidson rider Cody Wyman and Team Saddlemen/ Harley-Davidson rider Jake Lewis each rode race-prepared Pan America 1250 Specials to race victories in a Mission Super Hooligan Double Header weekend at Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Washington (June 28-30).
The Mission Super Hooligan road racing championship, held in conjunction with the MotoAmerica Superbike series, features 750 cc and up high-bar, race-prepared street bikes from the world’s premier motorcycle manufacturers.
Pouring rain created challenging race conditions on the Saturday of the Ridge Motorsports Park Double Header, causing the race distance to be shortened from eight to six laps of the 2.47-mile, 16-turn Ridge course. On the first lap, Wyman jumped from eighth position on the starting grid to second and took the lead on lap two with a pass of Team Saddlemen/ Harley-Davidson rider Cory West.
Wyman was leading by 1.3 seconds when the race was red-flagged, and though West led briefly from the restart, he slid off in turn three and Wyman, managing the conditions expertly, sped away from the field. KWR/Harley-Davidson rider Hayden Schultz moved into second place. Wyman crossed the finish line 7.99 seconds clear of Schultz for a 1-2 finish for the KWR/Harley-Davidson team. S&S/Indian rider Tyler O’Hara finished in third place, more than 13 seconds behind Wyman.
On a dry track the following day, West, Lewis and O’Hara broke away from the field on lap 2, with Lewis passing West for the lead on lap 3 and, pulling away, had opened a gap of more than 4 seconds by lap 6 of the 8 - eventually taking the win 2.00 seconds ahead of O’Hara, second, with West third.
