Charles Giglio (Hon) More, from a press release issued by Kenny Kopecky: At the fourth round of the twelve race WSMC series held at Willow Springs, Kenny Kopecky assumed the overall track championship points lead with three wins on Sunday. Trailing Jason Perez by 6 points coming into the event Kenny was saddened to hear of the young racers recent accident and injury. “We knew Jason would be missing a WSMC event this year due to his Nationals commitments but were sorry to hear of his crash. We hope he’ll recover well and want to wish him the best.” Kopecky rode his Ducati Oceanside prepared 749R and 999R racebikes to six top 5 finishes, with the wins coming in the BOTT Middleweight, BOTT Heavyweight and Formula Twins classes. “We rode our stock-motored 749R to some top placings, but the real excitement for me at this meet was a great battle with Jack Pfeifer in BOTT Heavyweight! He came out ready to race this month and in the afternoon winds he was charging…for sure this was the best challenge yet and I’m sure we’ll go at it more in upcoming WSMC meets.” The official margin of Kopeckys’ narrowest victory so far this season was just 1.223 seconds in the 8 lap race. However, both riders were actually a bit slower in the windy conditions then in the March WSMC event. As last month Kenny again ran in the front pack in 650 Superbike on the 749, but after repeatedly closing up between turns 1 to 6 would find he couldn’t maintain the pace through the faster sections of track. “I’m really excited at the prospect of getting the race kit into a 749 and racing with these guys” said Kenny. “I owe huge thanks to Ducati Oceanside for all their support and work, and also to Ducati North America for their contingency program. My fiancee Dana Jorgensen again did a great job in the pits this weekend, and we’re both having a lot of fun racing with WSMC. We’ll keep on working to keep these Ducati’s at the front of the field!” The next WSMC roadrace meet is May 14-16, 2005.
