From a press release issued by Kenny Kopecky:

Continuing to learn and adapt to riding Ducati motorcycles, long-time Willow Springs racer Kenny Kopecky won all three Twins based classes at the monthly WSMC road race meet in Rosamond on Sunday.

“The weather was ideal on Sunday morning and we were able to run significantly faster then the our first two months on the 749R” said Kopecky. “We had a wonderful opportunity this weekend to run a new construction of the Dunlop 208GP A rear tire and after a couple of small adjustments in practice we found the bike was superb in the race!” He won the BOTT Middleweight race by several seconds from class point leader Richy Headley (Duc 749R) and Bob Setbacken (Duc 748R).

Kopecky also had his first ever event weekend on a new 2005 Ducati 999R he just received from Ducati of Oceanside. “WOW! After reading the Roadracing World review of this bike I can understand why they like it – it’s certainly the best bike I’ve ever ridden.” With the only change from stock being gearing and addition of 17″ superstock-spec race slicks, Kopecky was able to win the BOTT Heavyweight and Formula Twins classes ahead of respective class point leaders John-Mark Arechiga (Apr 1000) and Claudio Szyszkowski (Duc 996).

“I’m truly enjoying riding and racing right now, and it’s always a great thrill to run at a fast track like Willow Springs. Our goal in to be in top form for 2005 and we feel great with the progress made this weekend.”
