Ideal weather conditions led to fast times and lap records as the Oregon Motorcycle Road Racing Association (OMRRA) teamed up with the Washington Motorcycle Road Racing Association (WMRRA) for round 2 of road racing in the Pacific Northwest June 10-11 at Portland International Raceway.
The Money Well Lending Title Championship Open class podium positions were contested by Andy DiBrino, Kevin Pinkstaff, David Kohlstaedt, and Brian Pinkstaff, with DiBrino taking three wins and Pinkstaff one win. Jayson Uribe also made his OMRRA debut and made sure no easy trophies were handed out.
Kohlstaedt and DiBrino also joined in the 600SBK categories as well, with Kohlstaedt taking two wins on a Kawasaki ZX-6R over DiBrino on a KTM 890 Duke, as Alex Taylor came off a recent injury to win both 600 SS races on his Yamaha R6.
Nathan Aldrich, Hannah Johnson, Oliver Jervis, and Jon Campbell all took victories in OMRRA’s fiercely competitive Middle Weight classes, which pits competitors against each other on a wide variety of machinery including Aprilia RS 660s, 690 Kramers, 600s with destroked or disabled cylinders, and Suzuki SV650s. Jervis lowered the Middleweight Superbike chicane lap record to 1:20.491 on the Zlock Racing Kawasaki ZX-6/5R.
Lightweight Twins were shared between Adam Faussett and Todd Eugene on Kawasaki Ninja 400s and Austin McCabe on a KTM RC 390, with McCabe and Faussett under the lap record, eventually settling on a 1:27.284 chicane configuration lap record by Faussett.
McCabe also dominated the ULW category on his Gray Area Racing KTM RC 390, winning all four races and setting the ULWSS chicane lap record at 1:27.763 and 1:27.387 for ULWSS. He shared the podium positions with Nate Abel and Jason Iverson, also on RC 390s.
McCabe used these wins to extend his lead in the MotoCorsa Clubman championship as he races for the 2023 1c plate.
Ryan Henry and Don Williams battled fiercely in Ninja Cup all weekend with very close finishes between the two.
Theis Corneliussen on his Yamaha TZ350 took victory over Perry Lund on a Honda CB750 in the Langlitz Leathers Vintage Cup.
