Copyright 2004, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. Tray Batey and Roger Bell won the Suzuki SV1000 and SV650 Cup Finals, respectively, Friday at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia. Riding his Pirelli-shod Vesrah Suzuki SV1000, Batey took a flag-to-flag victory in the 10-lap final, beating his teammate Mark Junge and Bell by a large margin in the nine-rider contest. Bell avoided a first-lap multi-bike crash in the 15-entry Suzuki SV650 final to take his Bell’s Suzuki SV650 to the win. Jeff Walker made a dramatic last-lap pass on John Linder to take second. Linder held on for third, well clear of Russell Masecar. The incident in the SV650 Cup Final started with Michael Niksa crashing as he led the field into the new Turn Three chicane. Pole sitter David Yaakov, the fastest SV650 rider all week at Road Atlanta, could not avoid Niksa’s bike and also crashed. Other sprint action Friday included Brandon Parrish taking a runaway victory in the lucrative Pirelli Diablo Corsa Challenge for Novice racers, and Acid Cigars’ Brian Kcraget beating Bo Morgan in the Formula Two Expert National Challenge Series finale.
