During the day, it has been raining off and on, and the track has been entirely covered up. Right now, as the evening’s racing gets ready to start at 7:30, the rain has stopped. Very nice!

7:30pm – first race of the night takes off – 250 West Heat 1. Phil Nicoletti has the lead most of the race, but Wil Hahn goes by for the lead towards the end of the race. Hahn wins, Nicoletti second.

250 West Heat 2 – six laps in these 250 qualifying heats. Series points leader Jake Weimer with the early lead! Lap times are running just about 1 minute even. Jake Weimer holds on for the win! Blake Wharton is second, Josh Hansen third.

So far, no more rain. The 450′s are getting ready to come out for their 8 lap qualifying heats. Race promoter Feld Motosports track crew has done an excellent job in preparing and maintaining the race course.

450 Heat 1 – Daniel Reardon is the early leader for about a lap and a half. Then Ivan Tedesco goes past and into the lead. Lots of action – Hill passes Reardon, and then passes Tedesco. The final positions at the checkered – Josh Hill wins, Ivan Tedesco, Davi Millsaps, and Daniel Reardon.

450 Heat 2 – Kevin Windham and Ryan Dungey are battling for the lead in the first couple of corners, but Kevin Windham does a triple that no one else does on the opening lap .. and Windham is leading. Ryan Dungey is in second. Andrew Short third. Ryan Villopoto is ninth.

On lap seven, Dungey moves past Windham and into the lead. It’s Dungey, Windham, Short, Nick Wey, Justin Brayton, and Ryan Villopoto. At the finish it’s Dungey winning! Windham second. Andrew Short third, then Justin Brayton, and Ryan Villopoto.

At 9:14pm, the 15 lap 250 West Main event takes off! It’s Trey Canard with the holeshot! But before the end of the first lap, Jake Weimer is in the lead …. and Canard is on the ground. At the end of one lap the top five – Jake Weimer, Blake Wharton, Max Anstie, Cole Seely and Phil Nicoletti. Weimer is leading, but Max Anstie is pressuring Blake Wharton for second – Max is doubling a nice jump right after the finish that not many people are doing. On lap six, Anstie passes Wharton for second in a tight left hand corner … and a second later Wharton spins out and falls.

At the checkered, it’s Jake Weimer winning! Cole Seely has his best ride of the season and finishes second! Wil Hahn is third! Max Anstie has his best ride ever in the USA, held second until the last lap, but ends up with fourth!

As they talk with the podium finishers, it’s starting to rain … and five minutes later as the start of the 450′s is ready to go – it stops raining …

9:41pm – The 450 Supercross Class blasts off! Nick Wey has the holeshot, and … Ryan Dungey falls in the first corner! At the end of one lap, Nick Wey is leading … and Ryan Dungey has fallen a second time. It’s Wey leading, Davi Millsaps right behind in second, team-mate Andrew Short is third. Ivan Tedesco is fourth, and Josh Hill is fifth. Towards the end of lap three – Davi Millsaps has moved past Wey and into the lead.

At the halfway point – it’s Davi Millsaps leading, Andrew Short is second, Ivan Tedesco is third, Kevin Windham has moved to fourth, and Josh Hill is fifth. Ryan Villopoto is eighth. Ryan Dungey is 11th.

At 15 laps in, Millsaps has a nice lead, Short is in second, holding off Tedesco. Josh Hill is closing on both of them. Kevin Windham is next. Villopoto is sixth. Dungey is tenth. On lap 18 Short falls. He is not getting up – staying on the side of the track while crew attend to him. Millsaps has a big lead. Josh Hill has fought past Tedesco and into second!

After 20 laps, Davi Millsaps has won the San Diego Supercross! Josh Hill finishes second.
