Claud Jinks and Jake Frame join forces to take on the big bike classes in WMRRA and OMRRA. Racing enthusiast and motorcycle industry veteran Claud Jinks and 2nd year XLSR Racings expert racer Jake Frame have joined forces to take on the Open Super Sport and Formula Ultra classes in Washington and Oregon. With Jinks providing the bike, a 2006 CBR 1000 RR and Frame doing the riding the two are bound to make an impact on the two racing scenes. “Primarily, I want to show WMRRA what a nicely prepared Honda can do against the ubiquitous GSXR’s”, says Jinks. Jinks has been in the motorcycle industry for 35 years. He is currently the Sales Manager at South Bound Honda located in Lakewood Washington. “I am fiercely competitive, sometimes to a fault, but you would never have to worry about going deep into a corner with me” says Jinks. “I want to win. This is the way.” Frame began expert racing at the beginning of 2006 on a Suzuki GSXR 750 and then added a Suzuki SV650 Super Bike to the program where he found much success. He eventually focused on the little bike to help develop and hone his skills which seemed to have paid off as he finished the year as the 2006 WMRRA Rookie of the Year, 12 podium appearances, 7 victories, and the OMRRA 650 GP Twins Championship. “I am very honored and excited to be working with Claud on this project” says Frame. “I’ve wanted to see what I could do on a new bike so when Claud invited me to join him I couldn’t resist. With his knowledge and support, and my desire to learn, go faster, and win, we should be able to turn a few heads around the race track.” For more information, feel free to visit the website of Team XLSR Racing.
