So there was no need for the worry over rain for Anaheim 2--the Dirt Wurx crew seems to have improved its rain-management skills a lot lately, as the track appeared in beautiful shape for the entire evening.

As for the riders, here's the rundown:

Dungey Wow--the man has really done his homework. Finishing 2-1-1 in the first three races of the year, Dungey has made one of the most impressive full-time debuts in the history of the big-bike class. At A2, he was methodical, measured and fast. Very fast.

Hill For a rider who had a slacker reputation as recently as last year, Hill has pulled things together nicely. His passes on Stewart in both the heat race and the main were impressive, and he held things together well for all 20 laps in the final, though Dungey did manage to squeak away in the closing laps.

Stewart A class performance by a man who was obviously hurting. It is a testament to Stewart's speed that he manages to contend for race wins even when he is injured. Look for him regain his usual loose style once that wrist heals.

Windham and Short Both turned in quietly solid performances, with Short turning in a not-far-off-the-pace fourth and Windham moving from 13th on the first lap to fifth at the finish.

Villopoto Still not quite at full speed, it seems. A seventh is nothing to be ashamed of, but his second-place last week showed what he's capable of.

Weimer The 250-class equivalent of Dungey. Another rider who used his off-season wisely. 

The series moves to its closest venue to northern Nevada, San Francisco, next Saturday. Check out the AMA Supercross web site for full results from the series.
