More from a press release issued by Army of Darkness: 

Army of Darkness Undefeated in 2025.

Red Flags are the deus ex machina of the racing world and none more so than in endurance racing. At the WERA Grand National Finals held at Barber Motorsports Park, AOD kept to the front through fast riding and exemplary pit stop execution but every time the team stretched a lead, a red flag would come out resetting all competitors to the same lap and giving AOD the opportunity to do it all over again.

Taking the win at the Barber was a momentous occasion for AOD and the WERA Endurance Series.

Army Of Darkness clinched their 23rd national WERA endurance championship. Army Of Darkness became the first endurance team to be undefeated in a season by entropy, weather, competitors or mechanical failures since AOD last repeated that feat in 2018.

“There are so many ways to lose a race or lose a championship. A failed valve spring retainer, a shift star falling out, a lightning strike ending a race after your competitors have already broken, or an oil spill putting your bike on the ground. When you are leading a race, or a championship, it’s easy to start thinking about all the ways that uncontrollable chaos can exert itself. This year we had both luck and skill and were able to finish all the races, and Josh Hayes, Hunter Dunham, Taylor Knapp and Chris Peris made sure we finished in the front!” eloquently offered Crew Chief Tim Gooding.

Gaijin, AOD’s long suffering R1, was piloted by Hunter Dunham, Josh Hayes, Taylor Knapp and Chris Peris. The bike was serviced and pit stopped by Melissa Berkoff, Tim Gooding, Chris Manfrin, Sam Fleming, YT Lechner and Anthony Consorte. Tony Romo provided invaluable tire and set up assistance.

AOD is sponsored by Army of Darkness, Dunlop Tires, Woodcraft, Hindle, Vortex, EK Chains, Thermosman Suspensions, Champ School, WERA, Roadracing World, and Industry 13.
