From a press release:

CLEAN SWEEP


On Sunday May 4, 2003 at Shannonville Motorsport Park the Nodell Motorsports Grand Prix motorcycle team competed in round one of the RACE Superseries.

Rider Stuart Nodell qualified on the pole for the Pro 250 Grand Prix race as well as the Pro Formula race aboard their 250 Grand Prix bike.

In the 250 main event Nodell went uncontested as he led from start to finish for the teams first victory of 2003. Following the race Nodell stated, “This is a great way to start our season by winning the pole and the race in defending our championship.”

The team anticipated the task in PRO Fomula would be more difficult as Nodell was competing against the factory teams on the 250cc while they were on unlimited displacement equipment.

Nodell had a good launch as he was in second position on lap one and threatening the lead position. By turn two on the second lap Nodell took the lead and checked out immediately gapping the field. The race was stopped on lap four due to an incident in turn five. When the race was restarted Nodell immediately grabbed the lead, put his head down and checked out on the entire field winning in fine style in the 14-lap feature.

Following the race Nodell commented, “This team put me on an excellent bike that gave us the opportunity to win. The Bridgestone tires were flawless.” This is the team’s first victory in Pro Formula and it has been quite a few years since a Grand Prix team won the feature event.

Nodell Motorsports would like to thank the R.A.C.E organization and staff.

Our next event will be the opening round of the CAN-AM 125 Grand Prix North American championship on May 18 at Shannonville Motorsport Park held in conjunction with the Canadian Superbike Championship. We are the defending champions from 2002 and will be wearing the number one plate.
