Round 7 of the AMA Big 6 was this past weekend in Gorman, CA.

Timmy Weigand and Colton Udall were on hand for the second to last round and the racing action was heated as usual.

The course was a 13 minute lap time, 7+ mile course with lots of square edges and very dusty conditions. The back section had lots of turns mixed with high speed sections in the front.

The final race of the day was the premier HWT class.
Timmy once again took the Holeshot and with Colton Udall taking 2nd off the line, the two JCR/Honda aces held their pace and a commanding lead for the entire moto finishing well ahead of the pack for a JCR/Honda 1-2 punch. Timmy secured the points lead in the AMA Championship going into the final round of the 2012 season set for December 3-4, at Pala raceway.

“It was a good race and my Honda CRF450R was flying. Gorman is a hometown race for me so it was nice to be so close to my house and have the family come out and watch. The HWT race went as planned. Im happy to have the points lead and looking forward to Baja.” — Timmy Weigand
