Tomac storms to another victory in round 4 of the 2012 AMA Supercross

Round 4, Oakland, CA - 2012 450 Supercross Main Event

Raptor Titanium's Ryan Dungey put in another consistent performance on Saturday night as he took fourth behind the event winner, James Stewart, Chad Reed in second and Ryan Villopoto in third.

Dungey got a bad start, pushed out into tenth place after the first corner, but managed to battle his way up through the field throughout the race but could never catch up to the three champions who had pulled away by that point, though still a great performance to keep the red plate going into the fifth round equal on points with Chad Reed, with Villopoto only two points behind them!

It was also a great result for Raptor Titanium and Geico Honda's veteran crowd-favourite Kevin Windham, who managed an excellent sixth place.

Round 4, Oakland, CA - 2012 250 Lites Main Event

It was another hugely successful night in the 250 Lites class for the teams and riders on Raptor Titanium footpegs in the fourth round of the 2012 AMA Supercross on Saturday night, with another domination from Geico Honda's Eli Tomac.

Raptor Titanium sponsored and Rockstar Energy Suzuki rider Martin Davalos got the holeshot, and in the second lap Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Dean Wilson crashed out before one of the triple jumps, moments before the Factory Honda's Cole Seely also took a tumble out of the race. Tomac was in second place right behind Davalos at this stage, with Raptor Titanium and Cosworth Monster Energy Yamaha's Zach Osborne in third.

Tomac soon moved into first place and dominated from that point on to take another convincing victory and extend his lead going into round five and keeps the red plate!

Tomac first, Dungey second: Another fantastic result for Raptor Titanium riders at Dodgers Stadium in round 3 of the 2012 AMA Supercross

Round 3, Dodgers Stadium, Oakland, CA - 2012 450 AMA Supercross Main Event

Ryan Dungey started round 3 with another great holeshot, edging out in front of Ryan Villopoto to lead into the first corner, but the race was red flagged moments afterwards as Trey Canard and Ryan Morais collided after the first corner through one of the triple jumps.

Raptor Titanium's Ivan Tedesco took the holeshot into the first corner on the restart but then Monster Energy Kawasaki's Jake Weimar led exiting the first corner. Ryan Villopoto went down again early in the race in the third corner, reminiscent of round 2 at Phoenix.

As the field settled, Jake Weimer led with JGR Yamaha's James Stewart chasing and Two Two Motorsport's Chad Reed in third with Ryan Dungey very close behind in fourth place.

Chad Reed took Jake Weimar in lap 6 for the lead, with Weimar, Stewart and Dungey in close pursuit! In lap 7 Stewart and Dungey passed Weimar to take second and third respectively. Villopoto was left to battle his way back up the field again following his crash on the first lap.

Stewart went down in lap 12 to give Dungey second place but managed to stay ahead of Brett Metcalfe who was in fourth to retain third, however Villopoto was charging right behind them, overtaking Metcalfe in the following lap to take fourth.

Chad Reed won by five seconds in the end, with KTM Red Bull USA's and Raptor Titanium's Ryan Dungey in second , James Stewart in third and Ryan Villopoto in fourth.

Raptor Titanium sponsored rider and Rockstar Energy Suzuki's Martin Davalos was in second, with another of our sponsored riders in third, Cosworth Yamaha's Zach Osborne. Fourth was Dean Wilson.

With Dean Wilson having moved up to third in lap 13, Marvin Musquin was looking to put a pass on him when he fell but managed to avoid injury.

Eli Tomac led Dean Wilson by over 15 seconds come the chequered flag, completing a totally dominant performance, with Wilson second and Zach Osborne in third!

Ryan Dungey makes history as first KTM and Raptor Titanium rider to win an AMA Supercross 450 Main Event!

We're delighted to announce that KTM Red Bull USA rider Ryan Dungey became KTM's and Raptor Titanium's first ever rider to win a 450 Main Event in an AMA 450 Supercross Main Event in last night's second round of the 2012 AMA Supercross in Phoenix, AZ.

Dungey got the hole shot and led every lap until the chequered flag after taking a convincing lead on the first lap and pulled away from the rest of the field for the remainder of the race after that.

Ryan Dungey and Ryan Villopoto of Monster Energy Kawasaki go into the third round tied first on points after securing a win and a third each, so there's all to play for as the respective 2010 and 2011 champions go into round 3 at Oakland, CA looking for the upper hand.

Geico Honda's veteran Kevin Windham, who is also on Raptor Titanium footpegs, put in a valiant effort finishing in fourth place in the Main Event as well.

Winner of the first round at Anaheim Cole Seely battled with Geico Honda and Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Eli Tomac for several laps, before being edged past by Tomac, who secured a fantastic fourth place at the end of the race, ahead of Seely and Osborne.

Ryan Villopoto on the Monster Energy Kawasaki looked untouchable after a blistering 2011 season and looks to not have lost none of his form. The Australian Chad Reed came second.

250 Lites Main Event

With 2011 FIM World MX2 Champion Ken Roczen sidelined with a broken arm, it was down to 2009 and 2010 FIM MX2 Champion Marvin Musquin to put in a performance in the opening round of the 2012 supercross lites class for KTM and Raptor Titanium, and he didn't disappoint finishing in fourth place.

Star Racing Yamaha and Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Ryan Sipes also put in a strong performance coming in fifth behind Musquin after Wilson's mistake on the last corner.

However, the star of the evening on Raptor Titanium footpegs was Geico Honda's Eli Tomac, who battled with the 2011 250 Lites AMA Champion Dean Wilson on the Pro Circuit Kawasaki to the very end, capitalizing on a mistake from Wilson at the very last corner to take third place and the podium spot!
