Prostar Motorsports Regional Round 3 Report

6/20/2010 - With the 3rd round of the RACE Super Series just one week before the PCSC Calgary National generally keeps most competitors efforts at only ninety percent. But based on lap times being turned during Fridays test day some of the fast RACE regulars where turning up the heat. With ProStars equipment heading to Calgary for Sebastien Tremblay, ProStar was running the regional with Frank Trombino, a CBR600RR, the Teams CBR1000RR super bike and little else.
Saturday brought an up and down day for the team with a small get off Saturday afternoon; “I was pushing really hard trying to run the pace in the 600 heat race and I felt I might be able to keep him close” commented Trombino “I always use second gear in that corner [Fabi turn three] and I just thought I might just try first gear … anyways, the move kind of bit me and we bent the bike a little… you know, scratched the paint”. With the super bike race run earlier in the afternoon and the damage to the CBR600RR being minimal, it was an easy fix for the team and their sponsors “Saturday’s superbike heat race was great for us, the Sturgess Cycle CBR1000RR is a dream to ride it really carves up the corners and holds its line……. and we needed the points” with Nelson and his BMW running below the Fabi track record on Friday the team knew it had a fight on its hands come the superbike race Sunday afternoon.


“In Pro 600 everybody is chasing Christie and today it was second place, like it or not. The kid is flying and his bikes are very good, it doesn’t hurt to have Fast Co. power. That’s one of the fastest 600s in the country, Scott knows his stuff………. Jodi is going to be hard to beat this year, it’s a very good bike and he is becoming a very good racer” stated Ben Gartner of ProStar “we have a very good 600 and great rider ….. anyways, we just need to work harder, this year isn’t over yet”.
“In Superbike that’s a different story, the team and our Sturgess Cycle/SCC CBR1000RR is getting better all the time and I know we can make the bike even stronger, I am fortunate to be getting help from Scott Miller and parts are coming from Peter Botting at Wizo EDM, both have been very important to us and our on going bike development”. Sundays win was a big one for the team, with Trombino leading the race from start to finish “I just found a comfortable rhythm, I’m really starting to understand the bike………it was a really good pace and I wanted to be out front, I knew someone was there the whole time, I could here them, I just kept my head down and pushed [Nelson set the out right Fabi track record in pursuit] the changes we are making and parts we are getting are making all the difference” continued Trombino “I love how the Honda CBR1000RR works……… the team has given me a really strong motorcycle”


“ProStar Motorsports needs to thank some people after this weekend” smiled ProStars Joel Nodell “we have a great group of sponsors and supporters as well as customers, we saw that this weekend in Jody Greenings great performance on his ProStar prepared race bike, second place in the AM600 and Superbike races, we couldn’t be happier for him and his family. We have people who are doing their very best to help us out and the teams results are starting to show, an additional thanks goes to; Jamie Conrad, Shaz Ahmad, James Collins, Lang and Lee Hindle …….
