Team Vesrah Suzuki Wins First 3 Races of the
Season
Team Vesrah Suzuki riders Tray Batey, Mark Junge,
Lee Acree, John Jacobi and
Chris Ulrich teamed up to win the first 3 races of the season.
The first race was in Savannah, GA at Roebling
Road Raceway. Vesrah Suzuki
finished 3 laps in front of the competition in the 4 hour event.
Vesrah
Suzuki started the season on the 2006 GSX-R1000 endurance bike
they won the
championship on last season. Since the GSX-R1000 for 2007 is
all new, Mark
Junge and Chris Ulrich started a second team from the back
of the grid on
the new bike to get some endurance time, and do a couple of
pit stops to
test the teams new quick change swing arm. They pulled off
at the end of
the 2 hour mark while in 2nd overall, to let the Vesrah crew
concentrate on
the #1bike.
Vesrah Suzuki's second race of the season was
in Birmingham, AL at the
beautiful Barber Motorsports Park. Barber in the past has been
a place that
anything can happen. It is hard on riders and equipment during
the 6 hour
event. The Vesrah Suzuki team took the lead from the start
and never looked
back, winning the event by 3 laps.
The latest race was held in Salt Lake City's
Miller Motorsports Park. This
new track was the only racetrack that the Vesrah Suzuki team
was beaten in
2006. The Vesrah team was looking forward to winning at this
track, but
knew it would be a tough place to get the job done with all
the fast locals
and AMA teams testing for the weekend. The race was tough with
Vesrah Brake
sponsored AMA team Matsushima Suzuki putting up a good fight,
but fast pit
stops and consistent riders worked out in the end. Vesrah Suzuki
won by 4
laps.
Vesrah Suzuki has a 38 point lead in the overall
standings, and the next
race is June 28th to July 1st at Road Atlanta Cycle Jam.
