Lakewood, Colorado

Thunder Valley Motocross Park

June 27 - 28, 2008

Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing’s Michael Byrne celebrated an impressive AMA Motocross finishe at the Thunder Valley Motocross Park’s night race in Lakewood, Colorado, Saturday evening. Byrne brought home fifth- and sixth-place moto finishes for a fifth-place overall result. This top-five finish is Byrne’s best result so far this season. Byrne maintains his sixth-place position in the series standings.

Michael Byrne:

“It was a good night for us. Everything went well, the Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 was awesome and worked well with the altitude. I had to work on a few things, and fortunately for me, it worked out. It was fun to race at night, it was kind of Supercross style, but it was a little dark in some areas but the course did a great job and made the best of what they had. It was good, it was something different = maybe they’ll have a few more lights for next year.”
