Next Moto Champion had a few riders out at Buttonwillow, Ca last weekend with the USGPRU Season Opener March 20-21, 2010
Saturday was practice , and in the afternoon we had our qualifer for the GP125 /Moto3 race,
Andre qualified forth with a time of 1:5755, Fastest qualifer was Lex Hartl with a time of 1:55.799, second was Joe Roberts 1:56492 , third was Bennie Taylor 1:57094
Sunday was race day and the qualifer for the MD250H race, Andre qualified third with a time of 2:00693, Fastest qualifer was Peter Lenz with a time of 1:56940 and Lex was second with a time of 1:57481.
We had a problem with our water temp , when he came in the display read 109c , normal is 85 –89c , with the high temp the bike was off on power.
This year they approved the removal of the air box , with inspection tare downs this will save a lot of time , so I tried it, but it makes the bike run very hot , so we put it back on , problem solved.

Peter Lenz
First race of the day for us was the GP125 race, Andre got a OK start, fifth into turn one , on lap three he passed Bennie Taylor , on lap four Bennie passed him back,they stayed very close until lap six where they got into lappers , Andre lost Bennies rear wheel , and it was to late to get

Tyler Linders
him back.
Andre finished fifth, fastest lap 1:58324 , Joe Roberts 1st , Hartl 2nd , Lenz 3rd
Second race of the day was the MD250H race, Andre got a great start , but in turn two on the first lap,Andre and Peter Lenz got together and both went down!
They had a complete restart , again it was Peter and Andre out front, but about half way into the first lap Andre started dropping back and then pulled in, as he had a lose front faring mount due to the crash and his rear brake pedal was bent.
Ok last race of the day was the Moto 3 race, Andre got a fair start, fourth out of turn one, but in turn two Joe Roberts hit Peter Lenz from behind and he and the bike went flying in the air, so there was a red flag, Joe did not restart as he went to the Hospital for Xrays.
On the second restart there was another crash on turn two , this time it was Michael Aquino , Michael did not restart the last start , Andre held on to Peter and Bennie and finshed in 3rd.
Great Job Andre! Thanks for the full report.
