Oklahoma is O.K. for Team MSR/Pro Taper/Suzuki/Yoshimura's

Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer claims his first WPSA Win of the Season

Friday night alone saw 6 ½ inches of rain fall to completely flood out the Cooperland track and surrounding environs. Marble sized hail and strong winds also worried the ATV racers as many thought they could end up on "Oz" by the end of the day.

Incredibly, the weather started to clear up on Saturday and the track crew somehow constructed a raceable course. The WPSA was forced to switch the planned double header to a single Sunday event. By doing so they had to hold all the heat races on Saturday, and launch the main on Sunday. Through a massive and impressive effort, the WPSA and track crew pulled it off. The track was shortened due to the fact that the back half of the track was now Lake Cooperland.

#191 Dustin Wimmer	#44 Chad Wienen

Saturday's heat races were up and down for the "Suzuki Squad" as Dustin Wimmer won his first heat race, but came in behind Pat Brown in the second. Gust carded a 2nd/5th, while Wienen went 5th/6th in their respective heats. These "decent" heat race finishes gave them pretty good gate picks leading into Sunday's main. The stage was set for a shootout... WPSA style.

Sunday dawned a little overcast but soon the sun came out and began to dry up the saturated Oklahoma red soil. Everyone was still sloshing around in a variety of muddy boots, but spirits were high in the Team Rockstar/MSR/Pro Taper/Suzuki/Yoshimura rig. Wimmer was running fast laps all weekend and Stillwater looked to be a likely venue for a "Dustin" win this year. Sure enough, when the main event finally arrived, Wimmer blasted off in second place behind Keith Little at the first turn. However, even before the first lap was over, #191 showed the rest of the field the back of his MSR pants by putting his Suzuki QuadRacer® R450 into the lead.
