The bike was completely waterproofed in case of Texas sized rain! Following the 12 Hour, bike was transported to Sacramento where it was put on the track without any maintenance and finished 1st in the heat races and 2nd in the main of the Superbike class! We are currently trying to get the mud off it that was incurred in the famous Tyler Sandell Texas mud incidents...yes that is plural!
