Congrats to all the RPS and CMRA winners at Mid-Ohio!
Yep, RPS customers and sponsored riders were the big winners at the AMA Sports Road Race Grand Championships. Leading the charge was the NEW 2006 Horizon award winner Cory Burleson. Just as impressive were the performances turned in by 2006 Pro Rider development program Danny Kelsey as well as Komodo-RPS teammate Bill Drake. Here is the overview of the RPS sponsored riders and customers.
Cory Burleson - Horizon Award Winner! Is there anything else to say? He was dominant needless to say.
Danny Kelsey - What else can you say about Danny? He started 2006 as a yellow-shirted provisional novice. The 2006 RPS Pro-Rider Development Program rider has quickly emerged as one of the fastest expert riders in the country. Danny finished well in all his races.
Bill Drake - Call Bill "Champ" next time you see him as his now the AMA Sports 1000 Superbike Expert Road Race Grand Champion!
Brian LeMaire - IMPRESSIVE! The Novice rider used a beat up 3 year old Honda 600rr to almost capture the "Top Novice" award. Although Brian was not the biggest winner, he was definitely the best Novice rider.
Tony Moore - The RPS-Komodo team member just flat out rode his butt off and got an armful of trophies for his hard work. Great Job TONY!!!
Chris Kutalek - What can you say to Chris other than, "GREAT JOB". The longtime RPS customer lead several races and made a huge breakthrough in his riding. It was awesome to witness!
Bryan Edmonson - Bryan rode great, but was entered in some tough classes with some tough grid positions. Although he barely missed some big trophy rewards, he was fast nonetheless.
Joe Raley - Joe was really focused and ran up front early in several of his races and is dramatically improving. Look out for Joe in the next few races.

RPS would also like to recognize (and congratulate) the excellent performances turned in by CMRA racers Chase Vivion, Dustin Dominquez, Larry Myers, Ryan O'Donnell, Tyler McDonald, Derek Wagnon, and Kent Moffit on the outstanding job they did representing the club. Great job guys!
