WERA
NNATIONAL ENDURANCE
ROADRACING SERIES
DAYTON, Ohio. (March
12, 2010) -
Expanding upon 25 years of
sportbike dragracing
innovation and success on
the quarter-mile, Brock's
Performance is proud to
announce its first
roadracing team partnership.
For Team Hooters' GSX-R1000
entry in the 2010 WERA
National Endurance Series
Heavyweight class, Brock's
Performance will supply
exquisitely handcrafted CT
Dual exhaust systems and
high-tech Blackstone Tek
(BST) carbon fiber wheels

Worldwide Bearings ceramic
wheel bearings. The team's
Middleweight entry, a Yamaha
R6, will be fitted with an
ultra-light Alien Head
exhaust system.br />
The Brock's Performance CT
Series dual exhaust is a
high-end, all-titanium, full
exhaust system with a carbon
fiber endcap that combines
state-of-the-art materials
and manufacturing techniques
with competition-proven
performance. The Alien Head
exhaust package features
lightweight stainless steel
headers capped off with a
GP-style megaphone muffler
finished in a black ceramic
thermal coating.
Just 16 pounds per pair,
BST's five-spoke wheels
feature a trick,
single-piece construction.
They utilize carbon fiber
strands woven in a
unidirectional pattern,
embedded in a resin matrix,
cured in a high-pressure
autoclave at 250 degrees and
coated with a
chemical-resistant,
high-gloss finish.
"The Hooters race team
always draws a crowd in the
paddock and at the many
displays they set up at
Hooters restaurants across
the country," says Brock's
Performance president Brock
Davidson. "We're proud to be
associated with this
hard-working team and look
forward to a successful 2010
endurance season."
Hooters team owner Steve
DeCamp is looking forward to
this new partnership: "I've
always admired Brock's
skills as an engine builder,
racer and businessman. I'm
glad to see the growth of
his company and am excited
to be part of its move into
roadracing."
In addition to the Team
Hooters roadrace support,
other Brock's Performance-
and BST-sponsored riders
include nine-time AMA
national dragracing champion
Rickey Gadson heading up the
quarter-mile assault. On the
tuck-in-and-gas-it front,
land-speed record holders
John Noonan and Leslie
Porterfield, motorcycling's
fastest man and woman, and
many other top-speed demons,
also roll on BST rims.
The eight-race, 2010 WERA
National Endurance series
kicks off with a four-hour
event this weekend at
Roebling Road Raceway in
Savannah, Georgia. Tim Hunt
and Skip Selenius will share
Team Hooters'
Heavyweight-class riding
chores, while James Rispoli
and Tim Birdsong will man
the team's R6 in the
Middleweight division.
