WERA WINNERS ROLL TO VICTORY

WITH BST CARBON-FIBER WHEELS


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



DAYTON, Ohio. (May 26, 2010) - Jeremy Toye and Tim Hunt continued their winning ways on BST wheels at round three of the WERA National Challenge series, held at Miller Motorsports Park, in Tooele, Utah.

 

Toye, riding a Roadracingworld.com BMW S 1000 RR project bike, which is also sponsored by Lee's Cycle and San Diego BMW, earned a pair of victories in the series' premier WERA Superbike and Formula 1 classes early in the German superbike's development cycle.

 

After a great weekend in Utah, Toye said: "It's pretty amazing that we're already going this good and the bike isn't even set up the way I like it yet. I can't wait to see its full potential!"

 

Team Hooters/Apex Racing-backed Hunt continued his domination of the Superbike Expert class on a newly prepped CBR1000RR equipped with a Brock's Performance CT Single titanium exhaust system and BST carbon-fiber wheels. On a similarly outfitted GSX-R1000, he also took second place in Open Superstock.

 

"We ran the BST wheels on our new Honda and the Suzuki," said Hunt. "I found them to be equally effective in handling and speed gains on both bikes. I dropped one second in my lap times on the Suzuki with BSTs in Senior Superbike compared to the Open Superstock race (which doesn't allow aftermarket wheels)."

 

Hunt currently leads WERA's points tallies in two national classes and 11 regional classes.

 

Team Hooters also carded a pair of second-place showings in the six-hour WERA National Endurance race. Hunt, Skip Salenius and Billy Ethridgeon rode a GSX-R1000 in the Heavyweight class, while the Middleweight squad consisted of James "The Rocket" Rispoli, Blake Jones and Bryce Prince.

 

Team Hooters' Captain Hunt was in the saddle for more than half of the six-hour event. "In the final hour," he said, "I was running the same lap times as I did at the beginning. The ease of riding the bike with the BSTs and how much less energy it takes to move it around is amazing."

 

Toye is looking to continue his success at the Lucas Oil Superbike Challenge, which will run in conjunction with the World Superbike Series this weekend. Hunt is preparing to compete in the next AMA Pro roadrace, at Road Atlanta, on June 4 - 6.
