Paradigm Racing wins Blud Lubricants 4-Hour Endurance Race
The Utah Sport Bike Association and Blud Racing 4-hour Endurance race was in action on September 14th at Utah Motorsports Campus on the 3.048-mile Perimeter configuration in Grantsville, UT. With 10 teams competing in two classes for $3000 in purse money, and a generous contingency offering for those using Blud Lubricants oil, the action was fierce and plentiful for all 262 miles.
Coming away with the win in the Blud Racing 4-hour Endurance class was Paradigm Racing out of Phoenix, Arizona, on their Paradigm Cycles built Yamaha YZF-R6. They had this to say about their result, “First and foremost we would like to thank Paradigm Racing, AJ Ammann for all his hard work putting us on an amazing motorcycle, and Jim King for his enduring support and friendship. We want to give a shout-out to thank Ryan Burke for traveling from Colorado to ride on the team alongside Shane Turpin. Many thanks to Blud Lubricants, Dunlop Tires, Elf Fuel products, and Rickdiculous Racing for all their support. Lastly, a big thanks to Utah Sport Bike Association and the track staff at Utah Motorsports Campus for putting on a safe and enjoyable event.”
Taking the top step, and $800 in purse money in the Blud Racing 4-hour Relay class was Ruf-less Racing out of West Jordan, Utah. The team had this to say about the victory, “We would like to thank Blud Lubricants and the Utah Sport Bike Association for hosting a fun and exciting endurance race. This outing was the first endurance race for the entire team, so our expectations were humble at best, but once the green flag flew we came together as a team and came out with a great result. We want to thank our riders Erik Grim, Marshall Miller, Joshua Snow, Cole Phillips, and our crew chief Alex Zinaich for an awesome experience and all of their effort.”
Utah Sport Bike Association would like to thank Jefferson Green and everyone at Blud Lubricants for their sponsorship of this 4-hour endurance race. Without their support, this unique opportunity would not have been possible. Utah Sport Bike Association looks forward to hosting more exciting racing opportunities in the future with the help of Blud Lubricants.
