* Left the Penultimate round of 2010 2nd in the Open Twins Championship, after running the entire season on a KTM Superduke 990, against a hord of monstrous 1198cc race machines with some 60-70 more hp than we had. Destroyed our Superduke saving the life of a downed rider, which basically ended our championship runs in both Open Twins, and Formula One (3rd at 6th round) |

* First team ever to qualify a KTM motorcycle for an AMA Pro Road Race *
* First team ever to win an AFM Open Twins race on a KTM *
* 2009 Season Review *
2009 was an interesting year. Very hard. Our Superduke was out-classed in chassis design (not a roadrace-bred machine in the least), and in power (regularly we took on bikes with 50 – 60 more hp than we had). Winning the last race of our 2009 season therefore, against all odds, against bikes we had no business running with – never mind against, was more satisfying than some championships I have won in the past.. |

* 2005 AFM OPEN TWINS - CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP WINNERS *
|
|
* To help Ducati promote the 749R model we raced our 749R against the open class bikes all season long- no matter who showed up to challenge us on what. We dominated both on the track and in promoting the bike's great potential.

Season cut short for our move to California. We left the east in the SuperTwins points lead with plans to fly back for each remaining round. All flights cancelled by infamous East Coast Blackouts lead to us abandoning the idea with only one round remaining.

2002 LRRS SuperTwins Championship - Second place |
We went into 2002 on a BrokeBackBudget with no main sponsor. AND after missing the first two rounds of the season. This lead to our finishing ONE POINT from winning the SuperTwins Championship, even though we dominated almost every race we ran that year - on a bone stock Ducati 996 . (so much for the underdog...)

2000 LRRS SuperTwins Class Championship - First place |
2000 was a re-building year. We came back from the injury of 99 two races into the season, and on a delicate budget - but we rode with a vengance. Once we reached that checker first again, there was no looking back...

This was a fantastic start to the year, especially the part about us beating the entire middleweight Grand Prix (every 600cc inline there was on the market) with our completely stock Ducati 748. But then I got hurt the following week while doing some racetrack instruction for BCM Motorsports. I broke three vertebrae in about nine places, among other things, after being crushed between a motorcycle and a concrete barrier wall at New Hampshire International Speedway...
1999 ended far too soon... |

1998 LRRS Heavyweight SuperTwins Class Championship - First place |

1998 Effectively marked the beginning of our DUCATI superbike racing career, and our career of winning championships. Although we lead four championships at once on our GSXR 750 in 1997, it wasn't until 98 that we figured out how to bring those championships home.. |
