VIR is officially in the books. In a weird way we are happy to be done with it. Of course it's always fun to go racing, and also exciting to go to a new track, especially a world class facility like VIR. This was just a stressful event from start to finish. A 14 hour trip to get to the track was a trek, when it involves several of those hours driving through the mountains in a race rig it becomes an adventure! We only smoked the brakes once, which was conveniently at the bottom of the mountain as we were planning to pull into a Walmart anyway. By the way, if you ever get the chance to visit a Walmart in the hills of Virginia, it's a great people watching venue

With rounds 4 and 5 now complete, its time for an update!  Things have been going good for Peak Honda Racing, Nicholas Lefurgey is leading the points in 5 out of his 6 classes while Oliver Gooden is leading the points in 2 out of his 4 classes.  To top it off, Oliver is now the AMA Grand Champion in the F1 class!  Big congrats to Oliver. Mean while, halfway through his second year road racing, Nicholas Lefurgey has been getting better and better each week and is learning a lot of valuable lessons to improve his race craft.  Round 6 takes us to the stoic Virgina International Raceway in early August.  Both riders having never seen the track are eager to get to VA and put down some laps.  Thanks for stopping by, see you at the races.

Round 3 is in the books and round 4 is fast approaching.  BeaveRun was somewhat kind to us this season.  Starting off on the right foot, Saturdays Solo 20 race saw team riders Nicholas Lefurgey and Oliver Gooden go 1 and 2!  Sundays sprint races were riddled with red flags and accidents, luckily no one was seriously injured and the Peak Honda Racing team brought their bikes home in one piece. Peak Honda Racing is now leading in every single championship they are contesting!  On to Grattan Raceway for round 4 of the WERA Sportsman Series by Pirelli.  See you at the races.

Today was a good day.  We received our beautiful EXO-700 helmets from Scorpion USA.  I've got to be honest, I'm 110% impressed with not only the overall quality, fit and finish, but also with the great customer service they provide.  If anyone is in the market for a new lid, check these out ASAP!  Check out Scorpions entire range at www.scorpionusa.com 

The big yellow Pirelli truck also paid us a visit today dropping off a healthy stack of new rubber.  By the looks of things, we should be good for nice chunk of the season... Now time to go reacquaint myself with the tire machine!

Welcome to 2010!  With the first official race of the season fast approaching, its time for some updates.  The off-season has been kind to us at Peak Honda Racing.  We've added Oliver Gooden to the team roster, a very exciting rider who brings a new level of experience, dedication and professionalism to the team.  Oliver, along with Nicholas Lefurgey will be contesting the 600cc, 750cc and 1000cc Superbike and Superstock championships with WERA for 2010.  We've also been busy getting our practice and race schedules finalized, race bikes prepped, and sponsors lined up to make this our best year to date.  Of course, helping it to be the best are companies like Scorpion USA, who have signed up for 2010 with full support, as well as Pirelli and Uber Racing, who bring to the table more tire data than we can shake a stick at.  We also can't forget Peak Powersports for building us some of the best performing bikes in the paddock and C&S Power-coating for making sure they are also the best looking.  For more sponsor information click the links on the top of the page to head to the sponsor section.  As always, we'll be updating regularly so stay tuned for the latest racing news, pictures and information on how Peak Honda Racings 2010 season progresses.  See you at the races!
