TEAM HOOTERS CONTINUES WERA NATIONAL ROADRACE WIN STREAK WITH BROCK'S PERFORMANCE EXHAUST AND & BST WHEELS

DAYTON, Ohio. (April 14, 2010) - Building upon a trio of wins scored in its very first national roadrace outing, Brock's Performance congratulates Team Hooters and Tim Hunt on another pair of victories at round two of the WERA National Challenge series. The team also took runner-up and fourth-place finishes during the weekend's WERA National Endurance race.

Riding a GSX-R1000 equipped with a Brock's Performance CT Dual titanium exhaust system and BST carbon-fiber wheels, Hunt dominated the WERA Superbike Expert class at round two of the series, held at Alabama's Talladega Gran Prix Raceway. Hunt was also victorious in Open Superstock on his Gixxer with the all-titanium, dual-muffler exhaust.

Circulating his home track, the La Vergne, Tennessee rider took a wire-to-wire win in Open Superstock by five seconds over Tim Bemisderfer, but had his hands full in WERA's premier sprint-race class.

The WERA Superbike class ranks were stacked with a gaggle of Honda-mounted racers hunting for corporate bounty. Hunt passed early leader Brian Stokes and fended off his attacks before winning by eight seconds in the 16-lap race, the fastest of which-a 57.137 on lap 15-was the best race pace of the entire weekend.

For this pair of wins, the construction company project manager and racer pocketed $250 of the $2100 available in BST contingency payout from Brock's Performance over the entire weekend.

Team Hooters also had a pair of entries in the four-hour WERA National Endurance race. Hunt, Chris "Opie" Caylor and Skip Selineus fought hard in the Heavyweight class to keep the winning Graves Motorsports-backed Zyvax team of AMA Pro Racing regulars Ben Bostrom and Chris Clark behind them. Unfortunately, the trio's Suzuki suffered a hydraulic clutch leak just before the race's halfway point. An unscheduled pit stop cost them five laps, but Hunt soldiered on, even though the clutch failed again and he had to ride the bike in second and third gears for the final 25 minutes. With 235 laps in the books, Hooters lost the race to Zyvax by just one lap.

More technical difficulties hobbled the Team Hooters' Middleweight effort. A stator failure on their Yamaha R6 in the third hour relegated the team of Tim Birdsong, Blake Jones and James Rispoli to fourth. This time, it was another Graves-supported Team Zyvax entry, made up of AMA regulars Dane Westby and Clinton Seller, that scored the class win-and the overall victory-in front of Bostrom, the 2008 AMA Supersport Champion, and Clarke, his young protégé.

Expanding upon 25 years of sportbike dragracing innovation and success on the quarter-mile, Brock's Performance is proud to take things to the next level.
