Texas Pirelli race vendor previews the upcoming CMRA season
South Central Race Center constantly strives to bring the very best to its customers and in doing so, helps them achieve their goals in racing. The Central Motorcycle Road racing Association (CMRA) has some of the stiffest competition in the country and thus having the best support behind you possible only makes sense. SCRC is proud to announce they will be once again supporting some of the very top riders in the CMRA.
CMRA # 1 plate holder Daniel Adams; Daniel is back and ready to defend his title in 2016. Daniel will continue to campaign his Century Trucks and Vans sponsored Pirelli shod SV650 sponsored by Century Trucks and Vans in the CMRA Lightweight classes. Hutchinson of SCRC” Daniel is a real force in the lightweight classes and we expect him to be just as strong in 2016. He is always a fun guy to watch.”
Brandon Cleland (2014 CMRA #1 plate holder) is coming off an injury sustained at a MotoAmerica in 2015 race and has his sights set on the #1 plate once again in 2016. Cleland “I’m stoked to be back racing CMRA in 2016. John from South Central has been a huge help and I think the Pirelli’s have always given me what I have needed to run my R6’s up front.” John Hutchinson of SCRC “we are very glad to have Bandon back. He has been a constant force in the middleweight classes over the years and his confidence in the tires keeps growing with Brandon setting most 600 lap records and even knocking on the door of overall lap records with his pair of R6s”
2015 #1 plate runner up Brandon Young had a great season and back to continue where he left off. Young carved his way to Championships in A Superbike, A Superstock and Formula 1 falling just shy of the overall championship. Once again Young will ride his Pirelli shod Suzuki GSXR 1000. Young” can’t wait to get the season started. I think we were pretty dominant in the big bike classes last season. The bike is already dialed in and the Pirelli slicks just keep getting better so I think we have a great shot at some lap records and possibly a #1 plate.”
