Peter Lenz was back on the track Feb.19-21 at TWS with CMRA
For the Moriwake Endurance Race on Sat. he rode his RoadracingWorld.comMoriwaki MD250H with determination and Conner Blevins as his team mate, and for the mini endurance he rode a Honda RSF150R with Brad Boucher and had a great time. On Sunday the track was wet, he missed all the morning warm up and a couple of his races, but by late morning the track dried out and he was back on the track. By the end of the day he ended up setting the fastest 125GP lap of the weekend. To see more info about that weekend and see great photo’s with Peter and Collin Edwards who was there that weekend check out Peter’s website www.peterlenz.com

Next Motochampion Rider Aaron Villasenor has a great start to the season so far…can’t wait to see what the rest of the season will be like…
2/21/10: The 2010 SCminiGP season began this weekend with Adams Motorsports Park hosting the opening event. Climbing back on his TZ Aaron wasted no time in announcing his presence by finishing 1st in both of his heat races. From pole position Aaron stayed focused and raced exceptionally well, winning both the Pro GP and Pro Extreme final events. Aaron’s development will be in high-gear this year as he races the Moriwaki-250 in WERA and the TZ-150 in SCminiGP. 
1/31/10: Aaron continued his development by racing his second W.E.R.A. event at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend. On only his second race on the new Moriwaki 250 Aaron put himself on the podium in both races, scoring a 2nd place in the Clubman Expert race and taking 3rd in D-Superbike Expert. The Las Vegas track presented Aaron with several long straightaways, and his Moriwaki-250 was simply unable to keep pace with the faster 450’s. Despite the disadvantage, Aaron did an unbelievable job staying with the leaders by being faster in the turns. It was another great week of development for this 14-year-old speedster.
1/10/10: This past weekend in Fontana at California Speedway was a huge success for Aaron. He had his first ever race on a full size AMA track on his Moriwaki 250. Sat practice went well and Sunday was even better. Aaron took first place in the Clubman Expert race and second place in the D-Superbike Expert race. The next race is at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Jan 31st.
Thanks to mom for the great reveiw !
Marcus Beedle with CMRA is a force to be reckoned with…
Marcus Beedle decided that he would eventually continue the family tradition of motorcycle road racing after seeing his first World Superbike race at Assen, Holland from the paddock and garage area. In 2006, Marcus tried a few races in the CMRA just to see if he would like rac
ing. By 2008 Marcus was under the mentorship of Bryan West.
Marcus won his first race in Formula 5 (RS65), 2ndin Clubman (RS85) and 3rd in 125gp. 2009 started off on a bad note when he was training on his KX85 prior to the start of the CMRA 2009 season. He was thrown off at high speed and broke his left collarbone.
By May 2009 he was ready to go. He had not raced since October 2008 but he picked right up where he left off. In the CMRA Mini Endurance he set the fastest lap out of 48 teams and dominated his sprint races. Team Gleam (Marcus Beedle/Conner Blevins/Bryan West) had there first CMRA Mini Endurance overall win at Hallett August 2009.
At Texas World Speedway Feb 2010, Marcus had a convincing win in Formula 5. He then teamed up with Conner Blevins in CMRA Mini Endurance race. Even though they started on the 7th row, Team Gleam ended up in 3rdoverall. Marcus also finished strongly in Clubman with a 2nd place and 3rd in Heavyweight Twins on his RS125. Marcus has a dream of racing in MotoGP. His commitment and desire to win will continue to be evident in his performance. Make sure

Next Moto Champion Sponsered rider Gabriel Da Silva at the FL Supermoto & ESMRA event in Georgia Feb.27 weekend
 Gabriel was in Georgia this past weekend and it turned out to be a great weekend for Gabriel. He came in 3rd place in the Mini Moto Heavy Class. It was his first time at the track, with just a two practice session. The race was held by Florida Supermoto combined with ESMRA, a North X South race.
On Sunday, Gabriel had the entire day of classes with Josh Herrin, a Yamaha factory rider and his brother Zach Herrin, a Graves Yamaha rider. It was amazing! He had good quality time there. Their father and owner of the track ( MGKT), Phil Herrin spent the whole day with Gabriel’s father working on new ideas for his bike.
Also, Travis Pastrana’s manager, Ron Meredith, took the time to talk to Gabriel and showed him Pastrana’s new bike.
Next weekend Gabriel will be racing again in Florida
 Thanks for your support!

WSMC put on a great race weekend 2/20-2/21 at Streets Of Willow, Ca.
Daytona Anderson on his Malcolm Smith Motorsports/Repsol backed Honda RS125 took his first shot at the Streets of Willow with the Willow Springs Motorcycle Club (WSMC) on Sunday February 21st for his second big bike race of the season. With the weather in the low 50s, wind gusts around 30 mph and rain looking imminent it was a challenging first day at the Streets. Daytona started the day off with breaking in the new top end during his first practice session of the day. All appeared to be good with the bike so when Daytona took off for the second practice session he had his sights on running in the low 1’25”s, but with heavy traffic he could only get into the 1’30”s which is way off the pace.
For the first race Daytona was on his Honda RS125 in the 500cc Super Sport class. Daytona got off to a good start rounding turn 2 in 4th place. By turn 3 he had moved up another spot to put himself into 3rd. Working his way into 2nd turned out to be a challenge against the bigger bike, but by lap 3 Daytona was into 2nd and checking out from third place. Daytona crossed the finish line in second place with a 13 second plus advantage on 3rd. At the end of the race it was obvious that Daytona was fired up and ready for a full day of racing.
Daytona had set the stage for a great day of racing with his performance in the first race. Second race up was the 250cc GP class with Daytona on his Honda RS125. Daytona got a great jump from the middle of the grid to put himself all the way up to 4th thru turn 1. Never intimidated, Daytona made an incredible dive to the inside in turn 3 to take 3rd place. By the end of the first lap Daytona had muscled his way into 2nd and set his sights on the leader. Daytona didn’t have the speed to match the leader, but with lap traffic Daytona made incredible passes to close the gap down, but settled for 2nd. With the second race complete and lap times coming down into the low 1’24”s despite the weather, it was obvious Daytona was in the groove.
The 3rd race of the day was the 500cc Modified Production class. A large grid meant there should be a lot of passing going on. Daytona came thru turn 2 in 3rd with one of the big bikes in front of him. It didn’t take but a few turns and Daytona had made short work of the bigger bike. Daytona took second place for the third time in as many races. Apparently the bigger bikes don’t like getting beat by the smaller displacement bikes and they protested the 125 racers. They won their protest and the 125 boys were DQ’d.
The final race of the day was Daytona’s premiere class, that being the 125 GP class. Excited to be racing against the same displacement bikes Daytona knew he had better have his game face on. With another great start Daytona came thru turn 1 in 2nd following close behind the leader. On the second lap the 125 GP racers caught lap traffic from the other classes. Daytona carved his way thru the other bikes and stretched his gap back to 3rd. Daytona never challenged, finished 2nd with an 18 second plus advantage over 3rd place. This was Daytona’s first 125 GP podium of his career, he was very excited.

FEBRUARY 19-21 TEXAS WORLD SPEEDWAY
Austin looked very well in practice Friday and we were pleased with his times. Race one on Saturday was Formula 4 on the RS150 and he got a good start. After two laps Austin and Jeff Mendelson had a large gap on the rest of the field and were swapping the lead back and forth and drafting each other down the front straight. I heard the engine sputter on lap four on the straight and Austin went out in turn 9 with a mechanical. Turned out to be a broken intake valve spring. He’ll really have to put his head down to catch up.
Race two was on the Aprilia built by Rheen Racing’s Steve Gaspard. Austin got an excellent start again and led for a lap before being passed on the front straight. This was the first race for the custom bike so the gearing was a toss up which we lost. He ended up third but we expect to do much better next race now that we have a baseline for gearing. 
Race three was the E Superstock race on the Ninja 250 . This would be the first sprint for him on the Ninja. He got another decent start and was about forth in turn one. Coming down the front straight it was a very close race for about six bikes. Austin, Joey Howells, Jeff Hughes, and Brandon Altmeyer drafted each other down the front straight the entire race while the leader Ryan Johnson checked out on the rest of the field. I noticed Austin having shifting problems which later turned out to be a problem with the shift lever. At the end of five laps Austin finished a close third.
After the sprints Austin and Joey would ride the Ninja for the Redline Roadracing team owned by Aaron and Bobbie Gore. After two hours of racing and one pit stop for fuel and a rider change the boys finished 7th in Formula 4 endurance. Lots of racing left in the endurance series where consistency is key to winning championships! Overall a good weekend.
