Team Velocity looks to ride Pirelli to top of 2003 WERA season

With new sponsors and more experience, the young Team Velocity has high hopes for the 2003 season.

Both riders – Chuck Ivey, of Augusta, Ga., and Steven Breckenridge, of Jacksonville, Fla. – armed with the will to win and a handful of new sponsors, look to make the 2003 season a successful one on Pirelli tires provided by ongoing sponsor, Jim “Moose” Kuykendall at Trackside Racer Supply. Mr. Ivey is thankful for Trackside’s great service and technical support.

“Not only do they offer a great tire, but they are knowledgeable and always ready to help with any questions,” Mr. Ivey said. “They are friendly and get your fresh tires ready in a timely manner.”

The team got into endurance racing last season and rode away with two WERA National Endurance class wins and a third in class on their 2001 Suzuki GSXR 600. They are focusing more on endurance racing in 2003.

“This is the first year we are seriously racing endurance. As a team, being in endurance racing, our goal is to win an endurance championship and to run an efficient team,” Mr. Ivey said.

Both riders ended many races on the podium last year. Between them, Mr. Ivey and Mr. Breckenridge earned a handful of second and third place finishes in WERA championships. Mr. Ivey, 25, took first in the Southeast Regional 600 Superstock and Mr. Breckenridge, 27, highlighted the season with North Florida Regional 600 Superstock and Superbike championships.

Team Velocity does enjoy the quality track time endurance racing provides, but they have bigger plans, which include new sponsors D & D Exhaust, EBC Brakes, JoeRocket, VP Racing Fuels, White Tiger Custom Silkscreen and Design and GMD Computrack, they are aiming high for next season and hoping to improve their endurance racing skills.

“In the endurance races, we hope to do well, have good pit stops and just get better at everything involved,” Mr. Ivey said.

Mr. Ivey and Mr. Breckenridge are working hard toward WERA National 750 and 600 Superbike championships respectively. Both are looking to finish in the top five of the WERA National 750 and 600 Superstock classes, top three in their National Endurance Class and top 15 in AMA races.

Team Velocity will premier in 2003 on March 29 at North Florida Motorsports Park.
