2015 MILLER MOTORSPORTS PARK SUPERBIKE FEST WRAP-UP!
The 2015 Miller Motorsports Park Superbike Fest saw riders from all across the US compete on the 3.3 mile perimeter track when WERA Motorcycle Roadracing brought their Pirelli/WERA West Sportsman Series presented by Lucas Oil along with the WERA National Challenge Series featuring the Michelin/WERA Superbike Class as well as the Masters of the Mountain/USBA riders joining in the fun on Sunday!

Mother Nature cooperated and gave us nice dry conditions with temps in the high 80s on Saturday and low 90s on Sunday. The racing was fierce and the big winners were Oleg Pianykh with multiple wins in the big bike classes and National Novice rider, Stephen Incledon taking the big bike class wins. The Senior Class saw a good battle with Michael Bradshaw coming out first Expert in the Heavyweight, Wyeth Jackson was first in the Mediumweight and Novice went to Jeff Semmig and Mitsu Ueda. Kinzer Naylor and Sahar Svik put on a good show in the 600cc classes each sharing wins in the 600 and 750 classes on Saturday. The SRA West Sidecars joined the show as well and Saturday with Rig #88 taking the win for pilot Wade Boyd. Daytona Anderson showed what he is made of by taking a win in the Formula 1 and Michelin/WERA Superbike Class on Saturday.
Sunday saw the riders of MOM/USBA join the grids and some local stars shone again, Pianykh took his share of wins; as did WERA rider Svik. Lightweight WERA rider Draik Beauchamp also won his classes both Saturday and Sunday on a track he visited for the first time. Sunday saw Rig #69 take the SRA-West Sidecar win with pilot Kelly Bell. Also on Sunday the Women’s Superstock Class ran a one off race with Wyeth Jackson taking the win followed by Krystyna Kubran and Christine Porter – 8 women took the grid and had a great time!

Gauge Rees Takes Win at WERA Miller Round
(Tooele UT) After 2 days of battle in the high desert heat of Utah, 14-year-old Gauge Rees brought his Trackstar Racing / Heatshrink.com Yamaha R6 home on top of the box in the Utah Sportbike Association Moto 2 race. The win also put him in the points lead for the Class Championship.
“It was a fun race, we started behind 6 rows of Heavyweights and thought that would change the outcome,” said Rees. “Ryan Richardson and I plowed through those guys by Turn 5 on the first lap and I put my head down and went to work. I swapped the lead a couple of times and on Lap 3 I pulled ahead and led the rest of the race. I was really excited that my 2 teammates, Ryan Richardson and Josh Smith, took 2nd and 3rd for a Team Trackstar sweep.”
Rees was also able to secure a 3rd in WERA National Challenge C Superstock and a 2nd in WERA National Challenge C Superbike on the same day.
“It was a tough weekend.” said Kelly Rees, Team Owner and Tuner. “We chased set-up on Saturday, the practice sessions were short and we were only getting 2 or 3 fast laps in so we were making big changes to see where we needed to go. On Sunday I made some changes on hot pit between a back to back race and suddenly we were putting the bike on the podium. It was fun to watch.”
Trackstar and Gauge would like to thank their Sponsors for their support. Heatshrink.com, Rickdiculous Racing, Champion Spark Plugs, Shoei Helmets, Spidi, Western Powersports, Arrow, Speedmob, Spectro, Jeff Stern and Fastline Performance, Dunlop Tires, Vortex Racing, Venhill Brake Lines, Apex Trackdays, PopShadow Decals, Dana Wilson and Mark Reo.

More, from a press release issued by John Cameron for SRA-West:
For the first time ever sidecars took on the 3.0 mile Perimeter Course at the fabled Miller Motorsports Park. The SRA-West Formula Sidecar Series raced in conjunction with the WERA Lucas Oils/ Pirelli Grand National event this past weekend which saw a strong turnout of riders from coast-to-coast on both two and three wheels. The double-header format for the sidecars was run on Saturday and Sunday featuring a 4-lap sprint each day with the same starting grid as well.
Qualifying notes showed Team Bell (#69 Kelly Bell/Daniel Bergeron) with a sizable advantage over the field but a flying start by Subculture Racing (#88 Wade Boyd/Christine Blunk) meant a battle was to be had. Subculture combined a great start with a supernaturally late-braking move into turn 1 and began an exciting battle with Team Bell. Just behind, another battle developed between multi-time champion Team Becker Moto Works (#84) and current defending champions Team Big Dog Garage (#1 Bernard Juchli/Kevin Kautzky). Becker Moto Works driver, William Becker, was making only his third appearance after a one-year hiatus for medical reasons and was running with stand-in passenger Rory O’Connor.
The fight for the lead took many spectators eyes away from a fantastic battle for third. Becker and Big Dog made multiple passes lap after lap and somehow never made contact. It appeared stability problems in right turns may have plagued Big Dog, but they were making it up on the brakes until the binders overheated on the last lap.
At the front the battle was close but instead of a see-saw of passes it was more accordion action, with Team Bell losing on the exit of left turns only to regain ground in other areas. The drag race to the line was close but it still allowed Subculture Racing to take a narrow win over Team Bell. After the race driver Kelly Bell cited a simple ergonomic problem. “Exiting slow lefts I just can’t modulate the throttle like I need to,” he said. With a change to handlebar angle for Sunday prescribed, it was hard to guess how things would sort out.
The start was nearly a carbon copy of the previous day with Subculture taking the lead into turn 1 on the brakes. They actually began to build a lead over Team Bell during the first lap but once heat got into the tires the gap closed. For most of the race it looked like Team Bell would grab the brakes last and increase the gap, but Subculture would let go of the brakes first and also get a better initial drive. Team Bell then drew closer as the revs built up, but they couldn’t get those last couple of bike lengths for a pass. That is, everywhere except for “Witchcraft,” the awkward right-hander before “The Attitudes,” the left-right-left over the only elevation change on the course. Here you could see Team Bell close the gap with gusto but back off because there was no room for the pass.
Finally, on the last lap, Team Bell set up for an outside move and despite the bumps and very strange radius of the turn, made it stick. Subculture fought back on the brakes but The Attitudes are a 1-line series of corners. It came down to the final turn and Subculture made the most of it. As Team Bell took the conventional line Subculture made a “V” of the hairpin to make it two-wide on the exit.
It may have been a better gearing choice or a power advantage, but as both teams ratcheted through the gears Team Bell pulled about a half-length and at the stripe they held on by only 0.132 seconds. Third place went again to Becker Moto Works, who benefited from a banzai braking move by Big Dog Garage earlier in the race. The overcooked corner opened a gap that Becker Moto Works slowly increased to a comfortable margin.
The SRA-West points remain unaffected however, as Big Dog Garage lost very little ground overall. In fact, Big Dog actually gained slightly on second place driver Steve Stull of Team Nurburing (#18, passenger Heidi Neidhoefer) and holds an 88 point advantage with three rounds remaining. And the next round will return to Miller Motorsports Park when the SRA-West teams up with host club AHRMA for the Bonneville Vintage GP sponsored by Motorcycle Classics. The event continues its tradition of running Labor Day weekend and features a full day of practice and two days of racing September 4-6. CPL Systems and RaceTech also continue their support of AHRMA’s national vintage road racing series and Barnett Clutches & Cables continues its support of the sidecar class, both vintage and modern.
The event will move back to Miller’s East Course, where the tighter confines still manage to keep speeds quite high and passing frequent.

Kinzer Naylor Takes USBA King Of The Mountain GTU Win At Miller Motorsports Park
Kinzer Naylor took three wins aboard his #89 Speed Moto Company-prepared Kawasaki ZX-6R at this weekend’s combined USBA/WERA event at Miller Motorsports Park’s Perimeter Course, including Sunday’s Expert King of the Mountain GTU race. Kinzer’s GTU win also saw him take over the championship points lead with two rounds to go.
The weekend was not all fun and games for Kinzer, as he crashed out of Saturday morning’s first practice session. The moment Naylor’s crippled bike came off the crash truck, the Speed Moto Company crew went to work; switching the front and rear suspension, exhaust, brakes, and ECU over to his ‘B’ bike. Other than the warm-up lap, Kinzer had zero time on his ‘B’ bike and was still able to win the Expert C Superstock race, as well as the Expert C Superbike race.
Kinzer Naylor; “My first race on Saturday was C-Superstock. I started P10, and worked my way up to second going in to turn 1. Three corners later, I took the lead, managed a two second gap, and took the win with a best lap of 1:58.8. The C-Superbike race was very similar. Again, I started in P10 and took over second place going in to turn one, but this time I took the lead out of Witchcraft and into The Attitudes. My lead grew to 1.6 seconds, which I managed to the end of the race, with a best lap of 1:58.6. I went into Sunday’s first race, C-Superstock, feeling confident of another win from fifth on the grid, but I had to pull in halfway through the race with a fueling issue. I started the King of the Mountain GTU race from second on the grid, got great start, an took the lead going into the first turn. I wasn’t able to break away from the pack, but held on for the win with best time of 1:58.9. Before this weekend, I had only one dry race win, so I am very happy with my results and that I was able to run consistent laps in the mid 1:58’s all weekend. I know I have a target on my back now that I have the King of the Mountain GTU points lead, but that is even more motivation to finish the season strong a bring home that title. A big thank you to the Speed Moto Company crew, Dunlop Tires, JRI Shocks, Vesrah, and EBC! See you in September!”
Kinzer and the Speed Moto Company crew will be back in action September 5th and 6th, when the USBA series reconvenes on Miller Motorsports Park’s West Course in a combined event with the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA).
