Jeffrey Tigert Successfully Wraps Up The 2009 WSMC Season With 3 Class Championships and the Overall #1 plate. Last weekend’s 2009 WSMC season wrap up couldn’t have gone off smoother for Jeffrey. CM Motorsports/Sport Tire Dunlop backed Tigert scored wins in both the Open Superbike and Formula Twins Lightweight, with these wins Tigert was able to secure the WSMC Overall Points Championship and will be displaying the #1 plate on his 2008 CBR1000RR for the 2010 WSMC season. Tigert also achieved two more class track records this past weekend, adding Formula 1 and Formula Twins Lightweight to the Open Superbike and Open Mod Prod records set previously in the year. November’s Formula 1 race was the first of the year Tigert did not achieve a podium finish, but instead a mid-race Dunlop tire swap saw him attack the long standing Formula 1 class record held previously by Jake Zemke in 2002. His strategy didn’t work as planned for entering the 1:19 lap time range, as traffic on his second flying lap cost him valuable tenths of a second. Despite this minor stumble, Jeffrey was able to eclipse Zemke’s record on his first full lap at speed adding his 4th class track record for the season. Tigert is now looking to the 2010 season where he will attempt to campaign the AMA American Superbike Championship. Please contact Jeffrey if you would like to come aboard for support for his 2010 AMA season. Thank You.

Dunlop has simply made them available to everyone at the track for track day use or club racing.
