Over the winter and beginning of the summer Jamie and I built the 600 motor. It ran on pump gas, and outpaced many other ex-factory bikes at fast tracks like Calabogie and Mosport. There is nothing much else to say. Some of my best 600 racing hapened this year. Many near podiums at the RACE regionals and 2 top-ten finishes at the Nationals.
Still unable to do the double at Mosport, I did however finish 7th in the USGPRU Can-Am race at Shannonville on Chris Chapelle's RS125.
On the GPz750, I missed the first two regional rounds, but finished consistantly on the podium the rest of the year to bring 'the sled' home to 2nd place OVERALL against amazing bikes like CBR600s, ZX7Rs and GSXR750s!! It really was alot of fun, just pour in some 87 pump gas and go!!
Superbike out, 600 in. Now armed with a 2007 Kawasaki ZX6R, its back to my roots on a 600. Kawasaki (Ottawa Goodtime Centre) is the first manufacturer to reach out and help me, and I hope this relationship builds and lasts a long time. Many races without Andres, but his thoughts with me always.
2007 highlights:
3rd in Pro 125 at Fabi track
4th in Pro 600 at Fabi track
5th in Superbike at Fabi
Qualifying on the front row in the first Vintage race on the GPZ !!!!
