Team Rockstar/WBR/Suzuki Makes a Stop in San Francisco...
Takes Home Two Top Tens

Chino, CA - January 29, 2007 - Troy Adams and Michael Byrne came into San Francisco with hopes of bettering their performances for the team. With the rain coming down during practice, it seemed like it would be long night.

Adams came into the fourth round of the Amp'd Mobile Supercross Series in 9th place in the Lites Class. Troy came out in 8th place with a 5th in his heat race and 11th in the main. "My practice went perfect and I was finally riding aggressive. I had a great pace in the heat race with the other riders, so I was riding with confidence. Going into the main though, it was frustrating. I was pushing hard, but I wasn't getting anywhere since the track was so short."

Adams thought the layout of the track was good, "Getting a bad start or even a mid pack start makes your main event almost impossible to get to the front. I was praying it wasn't going to rain, it didn't and the track held up pretty good."

Michael Byrne came into the night hoping to have better results than the weeks past. His fifth place finish the previous week was all that he needed to know that he and the bike were ready. "My heat race was good, the start of the main event was tough but I salvaged it okay. Unfortunately, I fell in the first corner and got tangled with Ramsey in the first turn. I fell over again before the finish line on the second lap. Once I got up and got going, I was at the back of the pack."

Despite having a rough go of the main, Byrne said that his bike setup is great. "We didn't have to make many changes at all this weekend. The team has done a great job of getting my Rockstar/WBR/Suzuki where I want it to be. I am still 5th in the points right now, so I was able to turn two crashes into a decent finish."

"This team is poised and pointed at the podium," Team Owner Brad Williams said. "We're ready to win."

The team will return to Anaheim again for the third and final time this coming weekend. Adams and Byrne hope to continue their consistency streak and put the Rockstar/WBR/Suzuki's out in front.
