{fshare id=3549}
The Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association (CMRA) held its first round of Big Bike Endurance, Mini Endurance, and Mini Sprint grids this past Saturday, February 16, bringing over 8 hours of racing action to the road course at MSR Houston, in Angleton, Texas. Temperatures in the 60’s, with a steady breeze made for slightly chilly racing conditions.
The 2-Hour Mini Endurance had a combined grid of 29 teams, with the classes of Formula 4 and Formula 6 Endurance represented, and ran on the 1.3 mile short course. The green flag dropped, and the Green Machine team, consisting of Jesse Davis and Brandon Altmeyer, riding a Kawasaki EX250, took an early lead completing 99 laps for the overall endurance and Formula 4 win. The RyderHard Racing team; Ken Ryder and Jay Newton, also on a Kawasaki EX250, completed 97 laps, taking second in both Formula 4 and the overall. Rounding out the top three overall was the MC Racing team of Jim Whitten and Joseph Caruso, who also took third in Formula 4 with a Kawasaki EX250 with 96 laps.
The 4-Hour Big Bike Endurance had a combined grid of 29 teams, with classes including A Superbike, C Superbike, Formula 2, and Modern Classic Endurance. The weather came in beautifully, and the track conditions were outstanding, making for fast lap times on the 2.4 mile full course. The 212Decals.com team of Dirk Anderson, William Guthrie, Brandt Dillon, and Eddie Thornton on a Suzuki GSX-R1000 took the early lead, holding off the Village Idiots and Lone Star Track Days. The Yamaha YZF-R6-mounted LocoMotion team of Mark Windham, Ryan Max Johnson, Matt Vastine and Alonzo Contreras pulled into the top four, and held on, making a bid for third.
The Village Idiots were ahead by one minute thirty seconds when a red flag was
brought out for a crash on lap 73. The red flag lasted 30 minutes, and on the restart, 212Decals.com and the Village Idiots were at it again. The two teams would battle it out, with the Village Idiots setting the fastest lap of the race with a 1:39.3, and capitalizing on an extra pit stop made by 212Decals.com. LocoMotion gained the upper hand on Lone Star Track Days during the last leg of the race. When the checkers dropped at 5:00 p.m., the Village Idiots team of John Orchard, Chris Headley, Brandon Cleland and Garet Tomlinson would take the win in C Superbike and the overall win with their RaceworX Yamaha YZF-R6, defending their number one plate. 212Decals.com would take the win in A Superbike and second overall.
