8.27.06 > Amateur Rider Robert Wilkey Clinches Shenandoah Track Record <

CCS Amateur Rider #119 Robert Wilkey is the new track lap record holder at Summit Point Shenandoah in West Virginia as of Sunday, 8/27/2006.

Wilkey donned race slicks for the first time in the Unlimited GP and 750 Superbike classes and subsequently bested the previous record several times, previously set at 1'30.667" by Ryan Patterson, finally ending the day at 1'29.599". Wilkey set his fastest lap time in the 750 Superbike class where he started near the back of the second wave and caught front-runner Bryan Bemisderfer in less than 4 laps passing him in the chicane on the front straight to take the overall lead for the final two laps.

CCS Race announcer Griff Allen told the crowd that "not since the mid-80's have they seen an Amateur rider tackle the Experts like Wilkey has been the last few race weekends."

Wilkey went 9 for 10 on the weekend, outdistancing most of the Amateur field in all but the final race where mechanical problems forced him back to a 2nd Place finish. All-in-all another outstanding weekend for the very talented young rider.

7.05.06 > Moon’s Super Cycle II Dominates Team Challenge at Summit <

From the drop of the green flag it was all Moon’s Super Cycle II for the next 78 laps as Calvin Martinez and crew displayed a mastery of Summit Point Raceway not seen before. This Mid-West based team wasn’t supposed to dominate the race the way they did, as local favorites Fast Lane Cycle (Rick Beggs & Kevin Tate) had the most experienced team with hundreds if not thousands of laps around Summit Point, but were unable to translate the seat time into a win. The only machine to give serious chase to Moon’s II was Speedwerks Racing (Geoff Doyer & Charlie Coleman) the eventual winner of the GTU class. In the end, Speedwerks was able to keep their hopes alive by unlapping themselves when Scott Harwood, riding for the defending champion Moon’s Super Cycle II, pitted for the first time at lap 55 giving Doyer and Coleman an opening they were not able to capitalize on. Speedwerks Racing, the GTU winner, finished as the only other bike on the lead lap with the overall winner Moon’s Super Cycle.
