Round 12 – AMA Motocross Series

Delmont, Pennsylvania

Steel City Raceway

August 29 - 30, 2008

In the Motocross class, Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing’s Michael Byrne also finished the AMA Motocross season on a high note. For the Australian rider, “four” was the magic number: He brought home two fourth-place moto finishes for fourth overall at Steel City, and this year saw Byrne capture four podium finishes. Finally, he rounded out the season in fourth place overall in the championship.

Michael Byrne:

“It wasn’t a bad weekend but it wasn’t the greatest weekend either. It was good in that the Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 ran really well and the team was great but I was just a little disappointed in myself because I wanted to get on the podium for the last race. But I came up a little short. But overall, I had fun and the bike worked well. It was a great series for me, it’s the best I’ve ever done in the AMA Motocross class so I’ve got nothing to complain about.”
