More, from a press release issued by In Torque We Trust:
Dallas, TX. – In Torque We Trust opens CMRA Championship Endurance season this weekend.
In Torque We Trust competes in the CMRA Endurance season in 2017. This year the team takes on a new look, new class and a new sponsor.
Walt Sipp continues as team captain, with riders Jorge Guerrero Jr and owner Jim Dugger. The team welcomes new recruit Brandon Beals to finish off the rotation.
Following along last years success including an overall victory at NOLA and overall podium at Cresson as well as three Modern Classic victories, the team has switched to the top class, A Superbike riding an EBR 1190RX.
Walt Sipp said, “After last year we knew we had what it takes to win and surprised a few people along the way. A switch in classes is a big challenge, but the EBR is a good bike and the rider line up is solid. We hope to put on a good show. We couldn’t do it without great team sponsors, Sport Rider Coaching, Pirelli, and South Central Race Center. I also want to thank, Arai Helmets, Arlen Ness, Bison Racing, Ohlins, Sidi, Chicken Hawk and Vortex.”
