Jeff Wood rode his Dunlop-equipped Arclight Suzuki GSX-R600 to wins in Sportbike and Superbike while Dan Bilanksy piloted his Pirelli-shod Hal’s Performance Buell XB-12R to victory in Thunderbike during the American Sportbike Racing Association (ASRA) National Memorial Day Monday at Summit Point Raceway, in Summit Point, West Virginia. Wood was pursued closely in each race by Martinmoto.com’s Michael Himmelsbach, who rode a still-in-development Triumph Daytona 675 on Pirelli tires. Himmelsbach and his set-up were unable, however, to match Wood’s pace over the long, hot, 18-lap events. Local hero Tim Bemisderfer also raced closely with Wood and Himmelsbach during the start of each race, but Bemisderfer, who underwent a kidney transplant in 2005, said he did not have the endurance to stay with Wood and Himmelsbach. Bemisderfer, however, said he was happy to show his speed had returned and to have finished third in each race on his Dunlop-fitted Shenandoah Honda CBR600RR. Former Sportbike and Superbike Champion Robert Jensen made repairs to his crashed Butler Machinery Suzuki GSX-R600 overnight but chose to sit out the long ASRA National races to focus on running the shorter, contingency-paying CCS races Sunday at Summit Point Raceway. The 14-lap ASRA Thunderbike race was a three-way battle of the Buells between Bilansky, defending Thunderbike Champion Dave Estok, who rode a Pirelli-backed Veatch Motorsports XB-12R, and former Thunderbike Champion Bryan Bemisderfer, who rode a XB-12R backed by Harley-Davidson/Buell of Frederick. On the final lap, Bryan Bemisderfer put his home track knowledge to work to get in front of Bilansky, but Bilansky clearly had the strongest Buell and motored past Bryan Bemisderfer out of the final corner to take the win. Nate Kern maintained his ASRA Thunderbike Championship point lead by finishing fourth on his Main Line BMW R1100S. Shortly after the race, Kern, who had ridden in several races during the 90-plus-degree weekend, collapsed with heat exhaustion and was transported to a local hospital. RESULTS: ASRA SUPERBIKE: 1.
