James Gang/Hoban Brothers Rides Again in ASRA Team Challenge
James Gang/Hoban Brothers Racing won the GTL class and
finished 12th overall the ASRA Team Challenge at Blackhawk Farms on
Saturday, May 18th. Co-riders Paul James and Wes Orloff piloted a
Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa-shod Buell Firebolt XB12R to 70 laps of the damp but
drying course.
“It was a team challenge in the truest sense but we were up
to the task,” said James. “The track was pretty green, and there were some
puddles and damp sections just off the racing line, so you had to be smooth and
precise. We had great pit stops from our crew led by Mike Kirkpatrick and Wes
and I just focused on putting in consistent laps.”
“I can’t thank the team enough for the opportunity to ride
with them, and to get the win was the icing on the cake,” said Orloff. “The
whole team was awesome and you can tell their bike prep and pit work experience
paid off. Conditions were a little tricky, but Paul handed the bike off to me
with a big gap to second so I could just concentrate on keeping it on two
wheels.”
