Cobb takes 2 National Championships at Road Atlanta

This year's WERA Grand National Final saw the return of Ted "Cannonball" Cobb, aboard Moto Britalia's Yamaha 450 Super Motard. After winning 5 of 6 races during the regular season, Cobb dominated the Expert Super Motard race at the GNF, winning by 46.977 seconds ahead of second place. "I have to give credit to Moto Britalia for building one super fast Motard" said Cobb. "The harder I pushed it, the better the bike worked". "Hats off to Bob Henderson, who did the final tune on the engine before the race, the bike ran awesome!"

Cobb also took the overall win in the combined 125cc GP, Clubman race. After three red flags, the race was postponed until the end of the day. Under changing weather conditions, and starting from the second wave, Cobb worked his way up thru the 125cc GP bikes to take the overall win in the shortened 6 lap final. " I didn't think we would get the race in" said Cobb. "It was getting pretty dark, and then by lap 2 it started to rain over in the back section." "I just kept my head down and the bike was hooking up really well." Cobb, who is an instructor with the Kevin Schwantz Suzuki School, also said "I didn't want to do anything stupid out there, I'm leaving next week to do a School in Japan with Schwantz, and I need to be in one piece!
