Apex Race Services/TT Motosport Tim Hunt Three Podiums on New K-Tech Suspension at CCS Homestead Miami Speedway
Apex Race Services/TT Motosports Tim Hunt was looking forward to getting on track with his new K-Tech suspension. He spent Saturday’s practice dialing in the new K-tech on his Yamaha YZF-R6. This being only his second time on the new suspension. “I felt Saturday would be a shakedown run. Even though I have been riding the R-6 for the last couple years, its always a learning process when you make major changes to the motorcycle. It is new suspension, so I still needed to learn the intricacies of K-tech” Tim stated. He was very happy with the way practice went and was excited for his first race on Sunday.
Tim stared off Sunday with a podium finish in the highly contested Expert GTU. With his next race Expert Formula 40 Middleweight he battled his way through the Unlimited pack to the front where he finished Third overall and First in class. Hunt was feeling good with the way the K-tech was handling. In his last race of the day Expert Gran Prix Middleweight he found himself on the box once again. “A win and two 3rd place finishes in the crowd of talented riders that we have down here in Florida is a huge accomplishment for me and our team especially at a track that does not suit my style of riding very well. Can’t wait til the next round at Palm Beach where we plan to really ruffle some feathers!!”
