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.
