Johnny Lewis and Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant Score Back-To-Back Podiums at Daytona Grand National Series Flat Track Opener.

15 03 2011

MERRITT ISLAND, FL – March 15, 2011 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – CycleLogic Products, Inc., the manufacturer of Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant is proud to announce the back-to-back second place podium finishes of Engine Ice sponsored, National #10, Johnny Lewis, over both nights of the season opener of the AMA Pro Racing Grand National Series Flat Track, held at the famed Daytona International Speedway.

Johnny Lewis, National #10 of the series, but in two solid nights of racing. On Friday, he moved directly to the main and Dash for Cash, by securing a solid win in his heat. In the Dash for Cash, Lewis would go down and twist his ankle slightly, but didn’t let that stop him, because once the main came around, Johnny was ready. He put to good use his front row start and maintained an even pace while running in a three-way battle for the top spot. As the race went on, Johnny kept his cool and slid into and held the 2nd spot with a few laps to go.

On Saturday, night two, Johnny again transferred straight to the main and Dash for Cash from his heat. Johnny would finish fourth in the Dash, but his sights were set on the Main. Another front row start would propel Johnny to the front of the pack. For most of the race, Johnny would lay back in the fourth spot while his competitors battled upfront. At about the halfway point, Johnny would again move forward and with laps to go, pass both the third and then second place riders and finish again in the second spot on the podium, an impressive feat.

“It was amazing getting not only my first podium of my AMA Pro Flat Track career, but backing it up with a second one the next night in Daytona. I’m proud to give Engine Ice there first two AMA Pro Flat Track podiums of the season.” – AMA Pro National #10, Johnny Lewis

“This is our first year of really going after AMA Pro Grand National Series racing, and to score not only a few heat wins, but two second place main event podium finishes makes us extremely excited for 2011 in this series” – David A. Kimmey, President, CycleLogic Products, Inc.

Scorpion & Peak Honda Racing Team Up Again For 2011

14 01 2011

Hats Off To The Defending Champs!

LAKE FOREST, CA – January 14, 2011 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Roadracing frontrunners Peak Racing Honda celebrated a banner season in 2010 with no less than 7 WERA Class Championships, 4 WERA National wins and 1 AMA Amateur Championship. In fact, the team of Oliver Gooden and Nick Lefurgey closed out the year with zero DNFs out of a combined 74 starts and finished on the podium an amazing 93.25% of the time! However you can’t rest on your laurels and the team will be back looking to do even better in 2011!

The Peak riders credit their Scorpion helmets for keeping their heads in the game all season long and are renewing their affiliation for 2011. “Peak Honda Racing is proud to announce we have once again partnered with Scorpion,” says Oliver Gooden. “We sported Scorpion EXO-700 helmets on the way to 7 Class Championships, and for 2011 we will not only be wearing the new EXO-750 helmets, but the Scorpion Hurricane race suit as well.”

“I’m very proud that Scorpion has chosen to work with us again in 2011 and up their level of commitment to our program,” adds #53 Nicholas Lefurgey. “It means a lot to have a world class company like Scorpion on our side.”

The positive relationship means just as much to the folks at Scorpion. “The entire team has been great to work with in 2010,” says Scorpion marketing manager Suzie Kirby. “We couldn’t be happier to have the guys racing in the EXO-skeletal protection offered by the Hurricane suit and EXO-750 helmet for the 2011 season.” This helps reiterate the fact that Scorpion sells complete outfits rather than just helmets.

“I’ve been wearing Scorpion helmets for a few years… even before they came on board as a sponsor. I wear one and my wife wears one,” concludes WERA #91 Oliver Gooden. “There’s enough to worry about when racing and riding, so knowing that we’re safe is one less thing to worry about!”
