Arclight Suzuki’s Jeff Wood continued his stellar 2005 season by taking two Formula USA race wins and a second-place finish Sunday at the 82nd Loudon Classic at New Hampshire International Speedway (NHIS), in Loudon, New Hampshire.

Jeff Wood, the point leader in three F-USA Championships, beat Robert Jensen in Sportbike and Superbike on his Dunlop-equipped GSX-R600, but Kneedraggers.com’s Jensen beat Jeff Wood in Formula Sportbike on his Michelin-shod Suzuki GSX-R750.

The best effort of the day, however, was put in by Jeff’s older brother Eric Wood, who, riding as a wild card, won the Thunderbike final in spite of starting from the last row of the grid on a Dunlop-fitted, BCM Ducati 1000 Supersport. Second place went to pole-sitter Rick Doucette, who rode a Plaistow Powersport Suzuki SV650, and third was earned by Dave Estok on an Innovative Motorcycle Research Buell XB12R sponsored by Millville & Wildwood Harley-Davidson.

Argo Cycles’ Scott Greenwood finished third in Sportbike and Superbike on his new, 636cc Kawasaki ZX-6R, and his junior teammate Jesse Janisch earned his first F-USA National sprint race podium finish with a close third in Formula Sportbike.

Earlier Sunday, Greenwood won the Loudon Road Race Series (LRRS) Middleweight Supersport race and Janisch won the LRRS Unlimited Grand Prix.

ESTOK PUTS BUELL ON THUNDERBIKE PODIUM AT LOUDON CLASSIC

Four Buell Riders in Top Ten at Formula USA Thunderbike National

LOUDON, N.H. (June 19, 2005) Millville & Wildwood Harley-Davidson/Buell rider David Estok rode to a third-place finish aboard a Buell Firebolt at the Formula USA Thunderbike National in the 82nd Annual Loudon Classic, held at New Hampshire International Raceway.

Estok qualified third, putting him in the front row on the grid, but he had a tough start and fell back to sixth. He fought hard to get back up to the front pack by the middle of the 12-lap race. The race was won by Eric Wood on a Ducati. Pole-sitter Richard Doucette was second aboard a Suzuki.

Defending Thunderbike series champion Bryan Bemisderfer, riding for Evo-Twin Racing/Harding Harley-Davidson, initially qualified fourth but was disqualified when his motorcycle failed to complete the mandatory post-qualifying dyno test. Bemisderfer had to start the race from the back row behind 26 riders, and worked hard to finish ninth. Williams Harley-Davidson/Buell rider Randy Rega was seventh on a Buell Firebolt. Kenwood/Sirius Satellite Racing rider Sam Rozynski was tenth, also on a Buell Firebolt.

With 27 entries, the Thunderbike field was the largest of the four Formula USA National races of the day. Nine of the Thunderbike entries were Buell motorcycles.

After four of eight Formula USA Thunderbike National events, CAD Cycles rider David Yaakov, who placed fifth at Loudon on a Suzuki, leads in series points with 100. Estok’s podium finish boosted his total to 87 points. Bemisderfer now sits in third with 80.

The next event on the Formula USA schedule is June 24-26 at Virginia International Raceway near Alton, Va.

The Formula USA National Thunderbike series is a horsepower-to-weight ratio restricted class, open to a variety of production-based motorcycles. Buell-mounted riders compete in the eight-event 2005 Thunderbike series race for a share of the $70,500 contingency fund posted by Buell Motorcycle Company.
