Re: Oak Hill - Mike Sanchez secures New track Record 1:22.5
I would like to thank Brooks Gremmels of Shogun Motorsports and Steve Harvanek of Motion Cyclesports for all of their time and effort. Without them we would not have been able to win Daytona when Mike was an amateur in 2002, there was just no way. That win is what got everything rolling, mainly Mikes confidence.
To date Mike has three lap records, one CCS National Championship, one AMA Sports National Championship, 18 CMRA Regional Championships, two WERA National wins, and one Church of Speed win. I would like to take this time to dedicate all of our accomplishments to Brooks Gremmels and Steve Harvanek.
This past weekend at Oakhill Raceway, it was a fresh Shogun/Motion engine prepared by Steve Upchurch that allowed Mike to break the lap record. Don Finelli of Lonewrench.com did the chassis tweaking and had Mike CRUSHING the lap record multiple times and take his lap times down into the 1:22s. He has been a major part of our team in 2003. He set up the suspension on all of our bikes, and has done a lot of traveling with us this year. He and Chucky Giachetto are team up this year and are Lonewrench.com.
Thanks to everyone else who has helped us,
