With one round remaining, 22 championships remain undecided in the USBA Masters of the Mountains Series.
Nearly perfect weather greeted competitors for Round 5 of the Masters of the Mountains Series at the Utah Motorsports Campus West Course on September 3rd and 4th 2016.
The Premier King of The Mountain classes remained stable with Shane Turpin and Kory Cowan continuing their winning streaks in KOM GTO and GTU respectively. Cowan returned to form after a fall at Round 4 and extended his lead in the GTU championship. “I was pleased that we were able to come back after fixing the bike and have no issues.” said Cowan “My Pirelli tires were really connected and the work we did on the MotoStation R6 made it easy to regain my confidence to go fast.”
Shane Turpin was equally strong in the KOM-GTO class, winning his 5th KOM race this season and furthering his quest to go undefeated. With one round remaining Turpin holds a 33 point lead over Michael Bradshaw in the championship. Chad Swain made a strong impression on the field, finishing second in the KOM-GTO race after missing three rounds.
Visiting racers shook up the order in a variety of races throughout the course of the weekend. Jerome Samarjian, visiting from Colorado, put in a strong performance winning both the Novice GTU and the Combined GTU classes, changing the balance of points for those championships.
With only one round remaining in the season 22 of the 24 championships are still up for grabs. Trackstar Racing’s Tony Morgan has convincingly secured the Moto 3 championship and Scott Rybarik has clinched the Modern Vintage GTU Championship on his Speedin’ Motorsports sponsored R6. With seven of the classes separated by less than 10 points the finale, scheduled for October 1st and 2nd on the Utah Motorsports Campus East Course, is sure to be an event worth attending!
