Millennium/KWS Suzuki Wraps up the 2007 AMA Superbike Season
Monterey, CA Ð Sep 2007 -- Millennium/KWS Suzuki sponsored by Ron Ayers Motorsports
had a difficult race weekend at Laguna Seca. Team rider David Weber found out
prior to the event that his right his wrist was broken in a crash suffered
at VIR. Determined to finish the season out on positive note Weber rode through
the pain.
Millennium/KWS Suzuki rider David Weber qualified in the fifteenth position
in Superstock with a time of 1:28.978. WeberÕs teammate John Haner qualified
in the sixteenth position with a time of 1:29.406. Haner is one of the strongest
riders in the series at starting, but this time he got a little ahead of himself
and jumped the start. The AMA issued Haner a ride through penalty which dropped
him to last place on the track. Haner quickly fought his way to eighteenth
place before the race ended early with a red flag. Meanwhile, David Weber settled
in a battle with his year long sparring partner Scott Jenson on the Halof Suzuki.
David eventually finished fifteenth on the track. The actual race results are
still pending because of a potential disqualification of the Jordan SuzukiÕs
for a technical violation.
David WeberÕs broken wrist would get gradually weaker each day with use. Weber
was in a lot of pain after the Superstock race, but felt he would be fine for
the Superbike race. Both Haner and Weber got good starts to the Superbike race,
but Haner was knocked off course in turn two damaging his brake master cylinder.
Haner tried to continue, but on lap four retired. David Weber raced until lap
sixteen when his broken right wrist weakened to the point where he felt he
was a danger to others on the track.
John Haner Ð ÒIt was definitely not the weekend we had all hoped to end the
season with but overall, it was a great season. This is the best team I have
ever been on and the results on track donÕt show how good they are. Thank you
to the entire team and all the sponsors. Thank you.Ó
David Weber Ð ÒI just want to thank the entire Millennium/KWS Suzuki team.
It was a great year, we all worked really hard, and had a great time. I am
having surgery on my wrist next week and then itÕs back to training and preparing
for next season.Ó
Kevin Hunt (Team Owner) Ð ÒNobody knows how hard these guys worked this season.
We did the most this season with the least amount of people. These guys have
been going non-stop since February and I canÕt thank them enough. We have some
of the best sponsors in the paddock. Their support is essential to what we
do and saying thank you does not accurately describe our gratitude.Ó
