Happy Schnauzer Racing

Little bikes on lining up for the Ultra Lightweight Endurance at Hallett for round 2 of .

Conti riders had a great start to the Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association, Inc. (CMRA) race season at MSR Houston last weekend. Competition was fierce with four teams running Continental tires in the endurance and a multitude of sprint racers.

In endurance, YN Continental, Happy Schnauzer Racing Continental, Zero Fox, and 4 Randoms competed well with tires that still look fresh after practice sessions and the lengthy race. Tires for all the teams look like they could do another full endurance race. YN Continental secured a spot on the podium, finishing 3rd overall and 3rd in class and while setting the second fastest lap of the race without a tire change. Both 4 Randoms and Zero Fox finished 5th in their respective classes. HSR Continental had a few mechanical issues but the team hunkered down, fixed the bike twice, and got back on the track to crank out some laps. Note to team, loctite … loctite … loctite.

In sprints across the weekend, Kyle Mallett of Relentless Racing took home 4 first place finishes in DSS, LWT, F2, and DSB novice classes. Will anyone dethrone the king of contingency tires? Clayton Schutz did well overall coming out of racing retirement, getting top step in the F40 LW race and several near podiums. Jens Jorritsma took a 3rd place finish in DSB novice (How many people were in the race isn’t important).
