AM 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.
