2012 AMA Supercross Series in January, but for now, Anaheim II 2011!

Yes, it's another flashback on this past AMA Supercross season. This time - Round 5, which is called "Anaheim 2". It was a battle royale between ... well .... you'll just have to read the rest, and check out the photos!

A beautiful day in southern California, as round 5 of the 2011 AMA Supercross Series come to Anaheim for the final time this year. It's a pink-themed breast cancer awareness event as well.

There is a tangible excitement and buzz in the air for this event, starting early in the day. The event was announced as a sell out early on, not one ticket to be had anywhere. As mentioned in a previous article on Supercross.com this week - the sport of Supercross seems recession proof. The racing hasn't even started yet and this place is off the hook.

As the lights go out the opening ceremonies begin with music, lights, lasers, fireworks and more.

Gate drops for the first race of the night - the 250 West Regional Heat 1. It's Kyle Cunningham number 35 on his Yamaha in the lead. He's being chased by number 19 Eli Tomac. A ways back is Ryan Morais, and Ryan Marmont. This will be a six lap heat race. The top riders are running approx. 1 minute lap times.

At the finish of this heat, it's Kyle Cunningham winning, Eli Tomac is second, Cole Seely third, Ryan Morias fourth, and Ryan Marmont is fifth.
