This year will be a new step and challenge for Karns Performance Racing. We will be participating in the full season of Twins Cup on the Suzuki GSX8R fielding 3 riders. Joining us for this large step in development will be TST Industries. This pairing will allow them to grow their already expansive product offering. We could not be more excited about this partnership that will help take us to the next level.
We will also be using Adrenaline Engineering’s data services to help sort this new platform with Andreani USA handling our Nitron suspension. Spiegler USA brake lines and NG Rotors will get the bikes stopped. Blud Racing Lubricants will keep the engines running in top form. Woodcraft Technologies are taking care of rider and crew controls. We will be running M4 exhausts and Meck’s Auto Body will make our bikes the best looking on and off the racetrack.
Elisa Gendron Belen – Elisa is returning to our team for the 3rd season. She is hoping to build on what she learned in JR Cup, having her best season yet, and bring it to Twins. She is a fan favorite, and breath of fresh air in the paddock bringing excitement to the team.
Levi Badie #71 – Levi ran a limited JR cup schedule last season but still competed for wins at just about every round. Including landing on the podium several times with winning the Brainerd round. The New Suzuki 8R suits Levi’s style and stature much better than the JR Cup bike. We expect Levi will shine this season.
Isaac Woodworth #27 – Coming from a promising year in JR Cup where Isaac was always in the battle and fighting for podiums at almost every round. We think the platform and help that Isaac will have this year will allow him to get to the next level. Fighting for wins.
