More, from a press release issued by Ducati Oceanside:

Ducati Oceanside’s Kenny Kopecky won three Twins based classes at the 2005 WSMC season opening road race meet in Rosamond, CA. on Sunday.

“After riding the bikes only one day in the last four months it felt great to get out for the entire three day event with WSMC. The track was really dirty Friday after all the storms here in California, but it cleaned up fairly well and despite the cool temperatures we ran at a comfortable pace on Sunday.”

The wins came in BOTT Middleweight (Duc 749R), BOTT Heavyweight and Formula Twins (Duc 999R). He also finished a very close second to Jacob West in 750 Superbike after leading the first four laps until missing a shift on the front straight, and followed 2003’s WSMC #1 Jeff Stern home in the F-40 Heavyweight class for another second place.

“We’re still learning about these bikes each time we ride them, and made a couple small changes on each machine that allowed us to improve on our best lap times from last year. I wish I hadn’t made a mistake in 750 Superbike but it was great fun racing with Jacob and we’ll try again next month. It’s a nice way to start off the season and we’re looking forward to continued advancement in our set-up.”

The next WSMC meet is Feb. 18-20, 2005 at Willow Springs and Kopecky is currently planning on racing the entire WSMC season. Kenny added: “We’re still hoping to acquire a race kit for the 749R and running some other events…as yet they’re not ready. We’ll just keep riding the stock bike for now and hope for good developments soon.”
