Sportbike Upgrade, Inc. makes asset purchase of Viets Performance, will be the Bridgestone race tire distributor supporting AFM, OMRRA and WMRRA events in 2015.
“I’m very excited for the upcoming season.” says Scott Gooch of Sportbike Upgrade, Inc. “I’d like to welcome returning Bridgestone riders and all riders considering Bridgestone race tires for club racing and track days. Bridgestone’s new V02 slicks have had terrific reviews during testing and we are pleased to offer this outstanding new tire in a 200/55 rear which is ideal for the high-horsepower 1000cc machines ridden by the top club racers. With the asset purchase of Viets Performance, we will retain the current website and toll-free phone number, continue to stock the full line of Bridgestone’s race tires and support a direct presence at AFM, OMRRA and WMRRA events in 2015.”
“I started this business in 2003 with a goal of helping other track day riders and club racers access the performance parts and race tires not often found at local dealers.” says Jeff Viets of Viets Performance, who has been the area Bridgestone distributor the past several years. “I am very pleased that Scott Gooch, a longtime friend and former AMA 600cc racer will be taking the business forward as Sportbike Upgrade, Inc. Scott has been managing operations and our web business this year and he’s already met and helped many of our customers. I knew as we worked together this year that Scott was the right person – he has the passion, racing and business experience to support our customers and Bridgestone in the years ahead. Please join me in welcoming Scott as we make the transition for 2015.”
