Another successful weekend for the ContiCrew at MSR Cresson!
With a fresh repave, fresh tires, and great riders, we celebrate 11 podiums amongst 3 riders along with a new R3 track record from Brandon Clark!!
He laid down a 1:22.160 in 500 SuperBike aboard his Yamaha R3 equipped with VonHertell suspension, breaking Ryan Max Johnson's old-time of 1:22.4xx.
Brandon went on to secure 3 wins in 300 SuperBike Expert, 250 SuperStock, and 250 Superbike and a pair of 5th place finishes in 500 SuperBike and 500 SuperStock

"Friday practice was sketchy, I was still battling the 400s, although I ended up low siding into the wagon wheel. I quickly learned that the new track could only handle so much trail braking.
We switched the Continental front slick to a medium compound while adjusting tire pressure as well.
Road & Track Suspension has this Yamaha R3 on point when it comes to being dialed in, along with VonHertell tuning this machine, it has led me to beat the MSRC (CW) 300 lap record with a 1:22.160"
Bubba Hanson failed to finish off the podium in any of his races on his Kawasaki Ninja 300 outfitted in Continental Race Attack 2's with VonHertell suspension.
With a best lap time of 1:26.021, Bubba brought home a pair of firsts in 300 SuperBike Novice and 300 SuperStock, a pair of seconds in D SuperStock and 500 SuperStock, and a third in 500 SuperBike

"Weekend went very well. We found our way to the box in every race we ran in. The suspension by VonHertell and Continental tire combo put the bike on rails."
One of our female riders, Kaylie Cudd , showed tremendous efforts in her Novice races!
She brought home the fastest time of 1:28.3xx on her Ninja 300, once again with Continental Race Attack 2's
A pair of 2nd's in 300 SuperStock and 500GP along with a 3rd in 300 SuperBike round out her podium run for this weekend!
She pulled a trio of 4th place finishes in 500 SuperBike, 500 SuperStock, and D SuperBike and a single 5th place finish in D SuperStock.
We are so pleased to be a part of these rider's success and love watching them show what the Continentals can do!
Keep an eye out for these guys at the next round and swing by the Continental tent and join the ContiCrew!!
