With the wins Kopecky has clinched three expert class Championship titles in BOTT Middleweight, BOTT Heavyweight and Formula Twins classes (based on the WSMC’s 15 point per win scale). Riding a pair of Ducati Oceanside/Dunlop/Maxima/Suomy supported bikes Kenny rode solidly throughout the race day, lowering a pair of his own previous WSMC class lap records and setting a personal best of 31 wins in the season (to date). The class Championship titles are the 14th, 15th and 16th of his club racing career at Willow. “We were really happy to get the wins today in the BOTT Middleweight and Heavyweight as those are the classes Ducati North America posted their fine contingency program in, and having clinched the class titles with three rounds remaining will make the final events this year even more fun!” said Kenny at the end of the day. “The conditions were just beautiful and many of the club’s class lap records fell today. We’re glad to have maintained our overall track Championship point lead on Mark Watts and Jason Perez who also raced well today, as they have all season”. Kopecky also rode in last Fridays first round qualifying for the Toyota 200 mile road race to be held on Sunday, October 16th at the 2.5 mile high-speed road course. His time of 1:25.811 should get him into the field after final qualifying to be held on Oct. 14th but he expects more. “We wern’t really feeling as well as we would like to on Friday, and set that time on our 4th lap and couldn’t find further motivation in the windy session. Looking at our best time Sunday (a 1:23.847) I’m looking for some improvement next month, for sure. The guys at Ducati Oceanside are working to get a bike together for us specifically for the 200 mile race and I’m looking forward to my first Toyota 200 and a strong ride on the Ducati 999.” Kopecky last raced in a 200 mile road race at Daytona in 1991. With Toyota 200 qualifying on Friday, the WSMC Expert sprint races Saturday and the 200 mile $150,000 purse race on Sunday the October 14-16 meet at Willow Springs will be busy and exciting!
