Wil Hahn continued his streak of podiums in Seattle this past weekend. The West Lites Supercross Series returned from an eight week break, while the series had shifted to the East Lites division. Hahn, who was third in points prior to Seattle, used the time off to prepare for the final West Lites rounds and the up coming Motocross Nationals.Rain during the week created a very wet Seattle race track, and caused it to deteriorate at an alarming rate. Hahn's training during the break paid off, giving him the edge to navigate his Red Bull/Troy Lee Designs/Metal Mulisha Honda to a second place finish on an extremely technically and rutted race track. Hahn's second place finish was his fourth trip to the podium in seven races, and moved him into second for the Lites West Championship, ahead of Trey Canard. With only one round left in the series, Hahn sits just nineteen points behind points leader, Jake Weimer. Be sure to watch the final West Lites round in Salt Lake City, UT on Speed May 2nd at 6pm EST, where Wil has a very good chance of taking home his first win of the season, and possibly the championship. Way to go, Wil.
