Millennium/KWS
Suzuki up beat about the first race weekend of the 2006 season
North
Charleston, SC – March 2006 -- The Millennium/KWS Suzuki team had an up
and down start to the 2006 season. Daytona luck hampered the CCS and AMA race
weekends but John Haner and Matt Lynn rode brilliantly on the Millennium/KWS
Suzuki GSX-R1000Õs.
The
Superstock race was the first of the AMA weekend. Both riders got excellent
starts on their Pirelli mounted Suzuki GSX-R1000Õs but Haner was hit by another
rider going into the chicane on the first lap and was knocked back to the 21st
position. Haner rode hard and fought his way back through the field to finish
in 13th. Lynn rode a smooth and consistent race to finish in the 16th
position.
The
Superbike race was a mixture of highs and lows with John Haner retiring from
the race. Matt Lynn rode a smart race with smooth, consistent lap times that netted
Lynn a 15th place finish, his best ever finish in Superbike.
John
Haner -- ÒThe results donÕt show it, but
overall the week was very positive.Ó said Haner. ÒThe team chemistry was great
and I look forward to moving on to Barber. Thanks to my mechanics Michael Godin
and Owen Garnett. We had a lot of issues that where beyond our control and
those guys gave me great motorcycles all week.Ó
Matt
Lynn -- "I
think the CCS and AMA weekends went really wellÓ said Lynn. ÒI set some goals
for myself before I turned a wheel on the track, and I met all of them. Daytona
is kind of a weird place, itÕs like a whole championship in itself just to
survive the track and the weekÕs worth of racing there. Thanks to my mechanic
Rick Matheny, Brian Stricker, Thermosman and the whole KWS Millennium team, we
survived."
Kevin
Hunt, Team Owner -- ÒWe
are in the best position mechanically that we have been in years. The GSX-R1000
is the bike to have in Superstock and Superbike and our sponsors are going
above and beyond to make sure we have everything we needÓ said Hunt. ÒWe have
the riders, we have the bikes, and we will see it all coming together at
Barber.Ó
