For immediate release:
North Texas Superbikes and Dunlop sponsored rider sets new record at TWS.
Texas World Speedway hosted the third round of the Central Motorcycle Road Racing Associations 2010 season this past weekend, with North Texas Superbikes and Dunlop tire supported teams and riders winning the majority of the Novice classes, all of the Expert and Novice 1000cc races, and establishing a new track record.
CMRA Big Bike Endurance Series:
Dunlop N-Tec slick equipped KTM/ Ridesmart /RPM Cycle looked poised to win its third endurance round in a row when a crash induced 24 minute pit stop ended the streak. Restarting from over 10 laps down, outside the top 20, fast riding, consistent pit stops, and only 2 tires allowed them to finish 3rd in class and 4th overall. Still retaining the overall points lead. We had everyone covered this weekend, said a frustrated Ty Howard. Our bike was much better than the last race, and the tires were working great. We definitely should have won that race.
CMRA Sprint races:
TWS veteran Ty Howard looked unstoppable in practice and backed up his morning fast times by smashing the lap record set in an epic battle between himself and Dane Westby in October of 2008, with a 1:41:415 in Expert F1 riding on Dunlop N-Tec KR 7704 compound slicks.
Howard won Expert F1, A Superbike, and A Superstock all by almost the entire TWS straight. Other Expert highlights included Ted Phillips with the win in Unlimited Motard, Alonzo Contreras winning Rookie Expert, and Carlos Lescale, Billy Gonzales, and Alan Campbell all battling hard for multiple podiums and setting their best lap times at TWS ever.
Dunlop equipped Novice riders filled top spots in every big bike class of the weekend, winning over 50% of the Novice races, with the top 7 riders in B Superstock and C Superstock all on Dunlop D211 N-Tec tires.
