SportRiderCoaching Announces New Racing Series

Eagles Canyon Raceway and SportRiderCoaching announce 2-round timetrial and 3-round motorcycle endurance racing series for 2026. 

Decatur, TX – Eagles Canyon Raceway and SportRiderCoaching bring motorsports education and excitement to Eagles Canyon members and guests. 

The new series features 2-round timetrial and 3-round endurance racing events, encouraging riders to challenge themselves against the clock and fellow competitors. 

The 3-round endurance series runs single-bike team endurance and individual bike relay-style racing on lightweight machines under 60 horsepower. Unique innovations to the series lower the barrier to a first competition experience before and at the track. 

The timetrial series provides a day of lapping sessions with a qualifying-style leaderboard challenging riders to improve laptimes each session. Trackside video review and coaching is available to accelerate rider improvement, and an introductory focus on competitive techniques offers riders new to competition-style events a welcoming first taste of competitive riding. 

Brad Flack, general manager at Eagles Canyon: “We’ve had a productive partnership with SportRiderCoaching developing riders, new members and a vibrant motorcycle community at the track. For our car members, we developed timetrail and race opportunities more member-centric than a typical club race organization but are still genuine competition. We wanted to offer the same for our motorcycle members and guests, creating more opportunity to participate in the sport than just member track days while creating an environment conducive to continued motorsports education and personal engagement.”

Jim Dugger, the owner and operator of SportRiderCoaching adds “I just loved the idea and focus. Many of our riders consider competition as part of their rider journey, but see the cost and commitment required for club-level, sanctioned racing as intimidating. There’s a group of riders looking for that next step but not committed to a full season of competition yet – that’s where we wanted to land with this program. And, at the same time provide an exciting series appealing to the experience racer.” 

 

Major event dates across SportRiderCoaching and SportRiderRacing — all are held at Eagles Canyon Raceway in Decatur, TX: 

  • Saturday April 4 – Round #1 Endurance Race Series

Champ School: Unlock Pro Cornering With Real Data

Champ School: Unlock Pro Cornering With Real Data

Every rider has watched a professional racer fly through a corner and wondered:

How do they carry so much speed, make it look effortless, and rarely fall down?

The answer isn’t bravery. It isn’t talent. It’s technique. Specifically, using the controls with intention, as the motorcycle was engineered, for maximum grip and safety.

Let’s look at some date from Robertino “Tino” Pietri. Tino is a Moto2, European Superbike and AMA Superbike veteran whose résumé includes Latin American championships, factory test-rider roles, and grid spots beside riders like Marc Márquez. When manufacturers want to understand how a performance motorcycle should behave at the limit, they hire Tino to find out. Not the guy at bike night or your uncle bob. 
 
 
Why does that matter to you?

 

Because the closer we ride like Tino, the better the motorcycle works—and the safer we are. Physics doesn’t care if you’re on the Moto2 grid or riding to work. The principles are the same.

To understand how a true professional rides, we analyzed his data from a “spirited” lap on a Yamaha MT-10 with Bridgestone DOT street tires, through Turn 8 at Carolina Motorsports Park.

Turn 8 is a corner that starts downhill, compresses into a valley, rises into positive camber, then flattens out on exit to spit you onto a 140-mph straight. What happens in these few seconds explains why elite riders are consistently safer and faster than everyone else. 

 
 
 
 
This is data from an AIM Solo2 DL and AIM Analog Can Converter pulling data from the OEM Yamaha ECU and a host of other sensors. We use AIM Data Acquisition systems to confirm and quantify everything we are doing on the motorcycle and the techniques we put in the curriculum. 
 
 
  • The Entry: A Decision Made at 143 mph

Approaching Turn 8, Tino is flat-out at roughly 143 mph. When his eyes and brain decide it’s time to slow, he gets nervous, but there is no hesitation, and there is no coasting. The throttle closes to the brake lever. Almost simultaneously.

  • The First Touch: Load the tire before we work the tire. 

A professional does not grab a handful of brake. Tino gives the lever a fraction of a second to allow the fork to collapse and the tire to load. This is the moment where grip is built so massive stopping force can be used safely. 

Then the brake pressure ramps up sharply.

Why so much pressure early? Because we can use more brake pressure when the wheels are spinning fastest, and they possess the most gyroscopic energy. Slowing aggressively upfront buys everything a rider will need later: margin, time, and grip.

 

  • Trail Braking: The Art That Separates the Good From the Great

Many riders imagine trail braking as a delicate fade: a perfect, smooth taper from heavy to light. But Tino’s data shows the truth—it’s alive. The brake trace wavers with dozens of micro-adjustments because the best riders are constantly updating their speed based on vision, feel, and available grip.

This is the essence of trail braking:

•    The motorcycle needs weight on the front tire to steer 

•    The front brake is the most accurate tool to place weight forward. 

•    Brake pressure is infinitely adjustable.

•    As lean angle increases and cornering forces rise, brake pressure is traded for centripetal load.  

•    Load or grip is allocated with purpose.

Trail braking is not simply “braking late.” It’s braking correctly, using the lever to create grip, geometry, steering response, and speed.

This process continues until one crucial moment: the slowest point of the corner.

 

This is a data overlay from the AIM Solo2 DL GPS-based lap timer showing throttle position through turn 8 at Carolina Motorsports Park. 

 

The Slowest Point: The Moment Everything Happens

Every corner has a slowest point. The key to the sport is to get to the slowest point as quickly as possible, respect it, and then get away from it as quickly as possible. We can exchange “quickly” with the most control. The slowest point is the hinge the entire corner rotates around. It is the moment when the bike is at:

•    Neutral throttle

•    Maximum lean

•    Minimum speed

•    Maximum direction change

•    Zero brake pressure

•    Zero acceleration

Tino’s goal is to use the brakes to get to the slowest point at the exact speed and lean angle he is comfortable with for the corners radius, lean angle, and level of grip. Tino does a pretty good job and the brake release happens at 67 mph, and the true slowest point arrives at 62 mph a heartbeat later.

This window is only about two seconds long in Turn 8, but it is everything.

This is where the motorcycle must be perfectly balanced. Just enough throttle to maintain the chosen radius, known as maintenance or neutral throttle.

Neutral throttle is not passive. It’s an active, deliberate state where the rider and bike agree on radius, trajectory, and grip allocation. It is the calm between two storms: deceleration and acceleration. Professionals do not rush this moment.

The Exit: The fun part.

If Tino could accelerate early he would. In fact, in the data, we can see that he starts to accelerate, but quickly sees that its too early and he will run wide and has to correct. Only when Tino can see his exit and can take away lean angle, can he truly accelerate. When this happens, he moves from neutrality to aggression. The throttle rises from 23% to 100% in under a second and he launches off the corner. If the tire spins in this moment, he is already applying the cure to the problem by taking away lean angle.

This is the best part of riding a motorcycle and the moment Tino has been waiting for since he closed the throttle seven seconds ago.
 
 
One Technique, Scaled to Every Environment
 
What’s fascinating about this data is not the speed—it’s the universality.
If Tino were riding in the rain, at night, on cold tires, on a public road, on a touring bike, the shape of this graph would be identical. Only the magnitudes would change. Less brake pressure, less lean angle, and less throttle…..and less speed. 
 
The process remains:
 
•    Brake when we get nervous.
•    Stay on the brake until happy with speed AND direction.
•    Transition to neutral throttle through the slowest point.
•    Accelerate only when we can see our exit and take away lean angle.

The championship begins at Balaton Park, Hungary, marking Nathan’s first full campaign on the global stage. Nathan reflected on his experience: “I did a wildcard round at Estoril in October, and it was a lot of learning and a lot of fun. I’m excited for the opportunity to do the full season.”
 
Beyond the World Cup, Nathan will also compete in select rounds of the NEMRR series at Loudon, NH, keeping his competitive edge sharp on home soil. In addition, he is exploring opportunities to enter wildcard rounds with the MotoAmerica Talent Cup series, continuing his connection to the championship where he first made his mark. 

Suzuki Int. Series: Whanganui Streets Set for Spectacular Finale

Suzuki Int. Series: Whanganui Streets Set for Spectacular Finale

DECEMBER 22, 2025: The Christmas rush should be over by December 25, but that doesn’t mean things will really be slowing down at all for many hundreds of people.

In fact, life will be speeding up considerably for New Zealand’s elite motorcycle racers, their followers and thousands of devoted bike enthusiasts.

Yes, we can expect the festive magic to roll on for at least another 24 hours after Christmas as Whanganui stages its traditional Boxing Day motorcycle race meeting, the Suzuki International Series’ third and final round on the city’s world-famous Cemetery Circuit.

We can just hope that the police are looking the other way on Friday when motorbike riders take over the public streets of Whanganui.

Racers are expected to hare down Ridgeway St, along Wilson St, turn into Taupo Quay and Heads Rd, before looping around Guyton St and back into Ridgeway again, all of it at eye-watering speeds, often in excess of 200km/h.

There is no doubt that these riders will ignore stop signals, fail to give way and, most probably, swerve across the centre line at every opportunity.

And there are very few places in the world where this can happen, Whanganui being transformed again this year to host the traditional Suzuki International Series finale, a jam-packed day of racing around the city’s famous Cemetery Circuit.

For more than half a century, since 1951 in fact, the barriers have been put up for this world-renowned motorcycle “street fight”, with straw bales positioned and spectator fencing laid out along the gutters of Whanganui’s public streets.

The 2025 edition of the always-popular Suzuki International Series kicked off at the Taupo International Motorsport Park on the first weekend in December and round two was staged at Manfeild, in Feilding, just a week later.

All that remains now for the series to wrap up is for the world-renowned Cemetery Circuit races to go ahead on Boxing Day, the massive annual post-Christmas festival of speed always a popular final blow-out before New Year celebrations begin.

The racing on the twists and turns of Whanganui’s public streets – with part of the circuit actually zig-zagging the riders past the Suzuki New Zealand headquarters on Heads Road – attracts worldwide interest every year, especially since this is one of the very few motorcycle street fights still being run anywhere in the world.

And, yes, the course does take the speeding riders past headstones in the inner-city graveyard, not to mention the competitors zooming close to road-side curbs, across white-painted lines, over railway lines and near to traffic islands. It takes your breath away just to think about it, although serious safety measures are in place.

Bay of Plenty’s reigning New Zealand superbike champion Mitch Rees leads the way in the premier class once again this year and he will take some beating.

However, while the Whakatane man tops the 1000cc formula one/superbike class, he may be as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs on Friday when he calculates the risks and rewards in his attempt to achieve an historic five-in-a-row win streak on Boxing Day.

Mitch Rees previously won the formula one class overall in the Suzuki International Series in 2020, 2022, 2023 and last Christmas too (the series was not run in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

Meanwhile, the Robert Holden Memorial (RHM) feature race will no doubt be one of the highlights of Whanganui’s finale on the Cemetery Circuit.

It is a prestigious race that was won by Mitch Rees in 2022, 2023 and 2024, by his late brother Damon Rees in 2020 and by their father Tony Rees on seven occasions (between 1990 and 2016).

It could have been another Rees family battle at the front this year too, with 58-year-old “elder statesman” Tony Rees chasing hard early on in the 2025 series, until his unfortunate crash at Manfeild less than two weeks ago sent him to the sidelines.

With a broken ankle, Tony Rees has declared he is not going to line up in Whanganui on Friday.

“I haven’t had too many broken bones over the years,” said a philosophical Tony Rees this week. “But when you’re pushing hard, sometimes it goes wrong. Even the best riders in the world can crash.”

Instead, it will likely be Rogan Chandler who poses the greatest threat to Mitch Rees on Boxing Day, the Upper Hutt man just three points behind Mitch Rees as they head onto the track for the first time on Friday morning.

All the other various classes too will provide nail-biting excitement, the racing always close around the Cemetery Circuit, while it’s worth noting that Whanganui crews will be out in force in the formula one, formula two and Pre-82 classic sidecars classes.

Rounds one and two, at Taupo and Manfeild respectively, gave bike fans, enthusiasts, supporters, sponsors plenty to salivate over and they’ve shown how highly they value and love the competition that they’ve shown up in great numbers to watch it live and personal.

“It’s been a fantastic series so far, with great racing throughout the classes,” said Suzuki International Series organiser Allan ‘Flea’ Willacy.

“The competition has been good. The weather’s been perfect and we’ve seen great crowds. The local heroes, and the overseas competitors too, have not let us down and they’ve put on a great show.

“We’re all looking forward now to the final round.”

Leaders after two rounds in the 2025 Suzuki International Series are: Whakatane’s Mitch Rees (formula one); Auckland’s Cameron Leslie (formula two/supersport 600); Silverdale’s Tyler King (formula three); Silverdale’s Tyler King (supersport 300); Paraparaumu’s Richard Markham-Barrett (formula sport, senior, over-600cc); Feilding’s Jordan Walters (formula sport, junior, up to 600cc); Auckland’s Paul Pavletich (Pre 89 post classics, senior, over-600cc); Auckland’s Scott Findlay (Pre 89, post classics junior, under-600cc); Upper Hutt’s Keiran Mair (Pre 95, post classics senior, over-600cc); Te Awanga’s Eddie Kattenberg (Pre 95, post classics junior, under-600cc); Tokomaru’s Barry Smith/Whanganui’s Louise Blythe and Panmure’s Adam Unsworth/Whanganui’s Bryce Rose (F1 sidecars) first equal; Whanganui’s Tracey Bryan & Jo Franzen (F2 sidecars); Whanganui’s Richie Dibben (supermoto).

 

The Suzuki International Series is supported by Suzuki New Zealand, Mondiale VGL, Auto Super Shoppe Tawa, Givi, I-Tools, Bridgestone tyres, Metzeler tyres, Sharp As Linehaul Ltd Whanganui, TSS Motorcycles, Ipone, Inferno Design & Digital, Kiwibike Motorcycle Insurance Specialists, Shark, Barred Up Scaffolding, The Dentists.

MotoAmerica: Irving Vincent V-Twins Returning To Daytona

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – December 2025 – Australian engineering outfit Irving Vincent has confirmed it will return to Daytona in 2026, contesting the MotoAmerica Super Hooligan category at Daytona Bike Week, 18 years after its historic Battle of the Twins victory at the iconic Florida circuit.

Founded by brothers Ken and Barry Horner, Irving Vincent made international road racing history in 2008 when Craig McMartin rode the team’s hand-built air-cooled V-twin to victory at Daytona International Speedway. Now, Nearly two decades on, the team has used recent club-level competition and testing to benchmark its current package against modern machinery ahead of a return to the high banks in 2026.

“We needed to be able to gauge where we felt we would be, and are we up to scratch with what would be over there? Yes, we are,” said Ken Horner.

Irving Vincent will compete in the Super Hooligan category as part of the MotoAmerica 2026 season. While two Irving Vincent machines have been developed for the program, event regulations allow the team to race a single entry at Daytona. MotoAmerica has formally confirmed the eligibility of the Irving Vincent platform, enabling the two-valve air-cooled Australian V-twin to return to top-level US competition.

“The rules are a lot more generous for air-cooled bikes because they’re wanting variety on the grid,”  Horner said.

Of the two bikes under development, one is the team’s established 1620 cc air-cooled V-twin, while the second has been expanded to 1760cc, a step taken to improve durability under Daytona’s sustained full-throttle loads. Both machines are being prepared in Irving Vincent’s Melbourne workshop with a focus on reliability, cooling efficiency and chassis stability on the banking.

Australian racer Beau Beaton will ride the Irving Vincent at Daytona, with Craig McMartin confirmed as Beaton’s crew chief. McMartin rode the bike to its landmark 2008 victory and will return to the event with the team for the first time since that win.

Supporting the campaign logistically is the Horner brothers’ engineering business, K.H. Equipment, which operates a facility in Houston, Texas. The US base provides a practical staging point for the Daytona effort and allows the team flexibility should further American racing opportunities arise.

“Houston becomes the base,” Horner said. “The containers will go straight there and we’ll truck everything to Daytona. After that, we’ll reassess our options.”

Irving Vincent’s 2026 Daytona return represents a measured, well-prepared re-entry to one of road racing’s most demanding stages, backed by experience, continuity and a platform refined specifically for the challenge.

R.I.P.: Vintage Racing Icon Rob Iannucci

Rest In Peace Robert “Rob” Iannucci

Visionary, Motorsports Pioneer, Attorney, Preservationist

Robert “Rob” Iannucci, a retired New York attorney, motorsports pioneer, and preservationist, passed away on December 7, 2025, at the age of 80. Rob was known for an unshakable passion for history in all its forms. Whether he was restoring buildings, reviving forgotten boats, or bringing legendary motorcycles back to life, he approached every endeavor with curiosity, conviction, and a passionate spirit.

As a young adult working in auto garages, Rob discovered a fascination with how things worked. That early curiosity stayed with him for the rest of his life.

Born in New York and raised in New Jersey, Rob began his professional path in public service. He worked as a Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney, a social worker, and a probation officer in both New York and New Jersey. His commitment to community extended far beyond local borders. During his service in the Peace Corps in Jamaica and Barbados, he helped establish commercial fishermen’s cooperatives. It was an early reflection of his desire to strengthen communities by giving people the tools to succeed. It was also there that he met his wife and lifelong business partner, Sonia Ewers.

Rob’s legacy shone brightly in the world of motorsports. As the founder of Historic Grand Prix motorcycle racing in the United States, he created Team Obsolete, a pioneering presence on the international racing stage. Between 1978 and 2002, his team competed in more than 1,800 races across the globe, from Norway to Japan, earning respect, admiration, and countless accolades. His riders included icons such as Giacomo Agostini, Phil Read, Jim Redman, Kenny Roberts, and Dave Roper, the only American to win the Isle of Man TT. Team Obsolete built one of the world’s most admired collections of museum-quality Grand Prix motorcycles, including the rare 1965 Honda RC165 250/6 and the AJS E95 Porcupine. The team continued to travel to race events, carrying Rob’s passion forward.

RIP Rob Iannucci.

Rob had a rare gift for recognizing potential where others saw only decline. In real estate, he restored and revived unique and distressed properties throughout the United States and the Caribbean. In Kingston, New York, the former capital of the state, he assembled and prepared for development three-quarters of a mile of waterfront property, acquiring 37 parcels in less than two years and building a strong working relationship with the City that continues today. In Downtown Brooklyn, he transformed a 50,000-square-foot commercial loft building, giving the building new purpose and providing the first office for the now-famous Etsy website.

His devotion to preservation extended to the water. Rob worked tirelessly to rescue WWII naval vessels through his nonprofit, the Fleet Obsolete Restoration Project. He saved several World War II PT Boats, an Army tug, and a 180-foot former floating hospital barge. Some of these vessels had seen action in the Pacific Theater and at Normandy. Under his care, they found new life and purpose, with ongoing efforts to prepare them for educational and humanitarian missions.

Saddlemen Race Development Unveils 2026 MotoAmerica Plans

Saddlemen Race Development is excited to announce their 2026 MotoAmerica roadracing program, with three riders aboard Saddlemen Drag Specialties Harley-Davidson racing motorcycles. Competing in two classes, Team Saddlemen is hoping to capitalize on six years of experience and once again put their bikes on top of the podium.

The Saddlemen team was there to kick oT the very first MotoAmerica King of the Baggers race, held at Laguna Seca in 2020. Now entering their sixth full season of competition, Saddlemen Race Development will field two riders in King of the Baggers, aboard Saddlemen Drag Specialties Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited motorcycles. Additionally, Saddlemen will return to reclaim the Super Hooligan National Championship, aboard three specially prepared Harley-Davidson Pan America ST race bikes.

Cory West (13) returns to both the King of the Baggers series as well as Super Hooligans, where he won the 2024 title and is eager to reclaim it. With multiple championships in his career, Cory is the longest running member of the Saddlemen Race Development team and has been instrumental in developing both the Road Glide and the Pan America to their full racing potential.

Jake Lewis (85) will again compete under the Saddlemen banner, in both King of the Baggers and also the Super Hooligans series, where he missed out on the 2025 championship by a slim four point margin. A storied roadracer with multiple championships to his credit, Jake starts his fourth season with Team Saddlemen and is eager to add another championship to his resume.

James Rispoli (43/1) is new to Team Saddlemen but certainly not new to racing. Rispoli, sometimes known as ‘Hogspoli’, will wear his 2025 Super Hooligan National Championship #1 plate under the Saddlemen banner alongside the 2024 champ, Cory West, and 2025 runner-up Jake Lewis. Rispoli, who holds a Bonneville land speed record, has also raced in professional flat-track and has won several US professional roadracing championships. Along with West and Lewis, he’ll ride a specially prepared Saddlemen Drag Specialties Harley-Davidson Pan America ST, making this the Super Hooligan dream team.

The Saddlemen Race Development team brings together a powerful partnership with Harley-Davidson, Screamin’ Eagle, Drag Specialties, Mission Foods, and a number of other key sponsors.

The team’s Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited and Pan America ST motorcycles are modified to the full extent allowed by the rules, bringing innovation to the table with custom modifications and cutting-edge carbon fiber bodywork.

Participating in everything from Flat Track to Land Speed Records is how Saddlemen pushes the limits of their products and gains real-world feedback. Saddlemen’s focus on testing new products through racing is an important part of their strategy to maintain their reputation as the “Gel Seat Experts”. Saddlemen’s new Performance Carbon Fiber product line was developed side by side with their racing carbon fiber program and is now available for your Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Eagles Canyon Raceway and SportRiderCoaching announce 2-round timetrial and 3-round motorcycle endurance racing series for 2026. 

Decatur, TX – Eagles Canyon Raceway and SportRiderCoaching bring motorsports education and excitement to Eagles Canyon members and guests. 

The new series features 2-round timetrial and 3-round endurance racing events, encouraging riders to challenge themselves against the clock and fellow competitors. 

The 3-round endurance series runs single-bike team endurance and individual bike relay-style racing on lightweight machines under 60 horsepower. Unique innovations to the series lower the barrier to a first competition experience before and at the track. 

The timetrial series provides a day of lapping sessions with a qualifying-style leaderboard challenging riders to improve laptimes each session. Trackside video review and coaching is available to accelerate rider improvement, and an introductory focus on competitive techniques offers riders new to competition-style events a welcoming first taste of competitive riding. 

Brad Flack, general manager at Eagles Canyon: “We’ve had a productive partnership with SportRiderCoaching developing riders, new members and a vibrant motorcycle community at the track. For our car members, we developed timetrail and race opportunities more member-centric than a typical club race organization but are still genuine competition. We wanted to offer the same for our motorcycle members and guests, creating more opportunity to participate in the sport than just member track days while creating an environment conducive to continued motorsports education and personal engagement.”

Champ School: Unlock Pro Cornering With Real Data

Yamaha Champion Riding School instructor Robertino Pietri. Photo courtesy ChampSchool

Every rider has watched a professional racer fly through a corner and wondered:

How do they carry so much speed, make it look effortless, and rarely fall down?

The answer isn’t bravery. It isn’t talent. It’s technique. Specifically, using the controls with intention, as the motorcycle was engineered, for maximum grip and safety.

Let’s look at some date from Robertino “Tino” Pietri. Tino is a Moto2, European Superbike and AMA Superbike veteran whose résumé includes Latin American championships, factory test-rider roles, and grid spots beside riders like Marc Márquez. When manufacturers want to understand how a performance motorcycle should behave at the limit, they hire Tino to find out. Not the guy at bike night or your uncle bob. 
 
 
Why does that matter to you?

 

Because the closer we ride like Tino, the better the motorcycle works—and the safer we are. Physics doesn’t care if you’re on the Moto2 grid or riding to work. The principles are the same.

To understand how a true professional rides, we analyzed his data from a “spirited” lap on a Yamaha MT-10 with Bridgestone DOT street tires, through Turn 8 at Carolina Motorsports Park.

Turn 8 is a corner that starts downhill, compresses into a valley, rises into positive camber, then flattens out on exit to spit you onto a 140-mph straight. What happens in these few seconds explains why elite riders are consistently safer and faster than everyone else. 

 
 
 
 
This is data from an AIM Solo2 DL and AIM Analog Can Converter pulling data from the OEM Yamaha ECU and a host of other sensors. We use AIM Data Acquisition systems to confirm and quantify everything we are doing on the motorcycle and the techniques we put in the curriculum. 
 
 
  • The Entry: A Decision Made at 143 mph

Approaching Turn 8, Tino is flat-out at roughly 143 mph. When his eyes and brain decide it’s time to slow, he gets nervous, but there is no hesitation, and there is no coasting. The throttle closes to the brake lever. Almost simultaneously.

  • The First Touch: Load the tire before we work the tire. 

A professional does not grab a handful of brake. Tino gives the lever a fraction of a second to allow the fork to collapse and the tire to load. This is the moment where grip is built so massive stopping force can be used safely. 

Then the brake pressure ramps up sharply.

Why so much pressure early? Because we can use more brake pressure when the wheels are spinning fastest, and they possess the most gyroscopic energy. Slowing aggressively upfront buys everything a rider will need later: margin, time, and grip.

 

  • Trail Braking: The Art That Separates the Good From the Great

Many riders imagine trail braking as a delicate fade: a perfect, smooth taper from heavy to light. But Tino’s data shows the truth—it’s alive. The brake trace wavers with dozens of micro-adjustments because the best riders are constantly updating their speed based on vision, feel, and available grip.

This is the essence of trail braking:

•    The motorcycle needs weight on the front tire to steer 

•    The front brake is the most accurate tool to place weight forward. 

•    Brake pressure is infinitely adjustable.

•    As lean angle increases and cornering forces rise, brake pressure is traded for centripetal load.  

•    Load or grip is allocated with purpose.

Trail braking is not simply “braking late.” It’s braking correctly, using the lever to create grip, geometry, steering response, and speed.

This process continues until one crucial moment: the slowest point of the corner.

 

This is a data overlay from the AIM Solo2 DL GPS-based lap timer showing throttle position through turn 8 at Carolina Motorsports Park. 

 

The Slowest Point: The Moment Everything Happens

Every corner has a slowest point. The key to the sport is to get to the slowest point as quickly as possible, respect it, and then get away from it as quickly as possible. We can exchange “quickly” with the most control. The slowest point is the hinge the entire corner rotates around. It is the moment when the bike is at:

•    Neutral throttle

•    Maximum lean

•    Minimum speed

•    Maximum direction change

•    Zero brake pressure

•    Zero acceleration

Tino’s goal is to use the brakes to get to the slowest point at the exact speed and lean angle he is comfortable with for the corners radius, lean angle, and level of grip. Tino does a pretty good job and the brake release happens at 67 mph, and the true slowest point arrives at 62 mph a heartbeat later.

This window is only about two seconds long in Turn 8, but it is everything.

This is where the motorcycle must be perfectly balanced. Just enough throttle to maintain the chosen radius, known as maintenance or neutral throttle.

Neutral throttle is not passive. It’s an active, deliberate state where the rider and bike agree on radius, trajectory, and grip allocation. It is the calm between two storms: deceleration and acceleration. Professionals do not rush this moment.

The Exit: The fun part.

If Tino could accelerate early he would. In fact, in the data, we can see that he starts to accelerate, but quickly sees that its too early and he will run wide and has to correct. Only when Tino can see his exit and can take away lean angle, can he truly accelerate. When this happens, he moves from neutrality to aggression. The throttle rises from 23% to 100% in under a second and he launches off the corner. If the tire spins in this moment, he is already applying the cure to the problem by taking away lean angle.

This is the best part of riding a motorcycle and the moment Tino has been waiting for since he closed the throttle seven seconds ago.
 
 
One Technique, Scaled to Every Environment
 
What’s fascinating about this data is not the speed—it’s the universality.
If Tino were riding in the rain, at night, on cold tires, on a public road, on a touring bike, the shape of this graph would be identical. Only the magnitudes would change. Less brake pressure, less lean angle, and less throttle…..and less speed. 
 
The process remains:
 
•    Brake when we get nervous.
•    Stay on the brake until happy with speed AND direction.
•    Transition to neutral throttle through the slowest point.
•    Accelerate only when we can see our exit and take away lean angle.

He also expressed  gratitude to his sponsors, including Woodcraft, Arai Helmets, Penguin Racing School, Apex, Akracefab, Genesis Utilities, Dunlop, Rev’it, Sidi, 64° Degrees and Innovative Contracting Services, whose backing made the season possible.
 
 
Bettencourt Racing proudly announces Nathan’s next chapter: joining the FIM Yamaha R3 BLU CRU World Cup for the 2026 season. The championship begins at Balaton Park, Hungary, marking Nathan’s first full campaign on the global stage. Nathan reflected on his experience: “I did a wildcard round at Estoril in October, and it was a lot of learning and a lot of fun. I’m excited for the opportunity to do the full season.”
 
Beyond the World Cup, Nathan will also compete in select rounds of the NEMRR series at Loudon, NH, keeping his competitive edge sharp on home soil. In addition, he is exploring opportunities to enter wildcard rounds with the MotoAmerica Talent Cup series, continuing his connection to the championship where he first made his mark. 

Suzuki Int. Series: Whanganui Streets Set for Spectacular Finale

The public streets of Whanganui will light up on Boxing Day, just as illustrated in this photo from any earlier edition of racing on the world famous Cemetery Circuit. Photo by Andy McGechan / courtesy BikesportNZ.com

DECEMBER 22, 2025: The Christmas rush should be over by December 25, but that doesn’t mean things will really be slowing down at all for many hundreds of people.

In fact, life will be speeding up considerably for New Zealand’s elite motorcycle racers, their followers and thousands of devoted bike enthusiasts.

Yes, we can expect the festive magic to roll on for at least another 24 hours after Christmas as Whanganui stages its traditional Boxing Day motorcycle race meeting, the Suzuki International Series’ third and final round on the city’s world-famous Cemetery Circuit.

We can just hope that the police are looking the other way on Friday when motorbike riders take over the public streets of Whanganui.

Racers are expected to hare down Ridgeway St, along Wilson St, turn into Taupo Quay and Heads Rd, before looping around Guyton St and back into Ridgeway again, all of it at eye-watering speeds, often in excess of 200km/h.

There is no doubt that these riders will ignore stop signals, fail to give way and, most probably, swerve across the centre line at every opportunity.

And there are very few places in the world where this can happen, Whanganui being transformed again this year to host the traditional Suzuki International Series finale, a jam-packed day of racing around the city’s famous Cemetery Circuit.

For more than half a century, since 1951 in fact, the barriers have been put up for this world-renowned motorcycle “street fight”, with straw bales positioned and spectator fencing laid out along the gutters of Whanganui’s public streets.

The 2025 edition of the always-popular Suzuki International Series kicked off at the Taupo International Motorsport Park on the first weekend in December and round two was staged at Manfeild, in Feilding, just a week later.

All that remains now for the series to wrap up is for the world-renowned Cemetery Circuit races to go ahead on Boxing Day, the massive annual post-Christmas festival of speed always a popular final blow-out before New Year celebrations begin.

The racing on the twists and turns of Whanganui’s public streets – with part of the circuit actually zig-zagging the riders past the Suzuki New Zealand headquarters on Heads Road – attracts worldwide interest every year, especially since this is one of the very few motorcycle street fights still being run anywhere in the world.

And, yes, the course does take the speeding riders past headstones in the inner-city graveyard, not to mention the competitors zooming close to road-side curbs, across white-painted lines, over railway lines and near to traffic islands. It takes your breath away just to think about it, although serious safety measures are in place.

Bay of Plenty’s reigning New Zealand superbike champion Mitch Rees leads the way in the premier class once again this year and he will take some beating.

However, while the Whakatane man tops the 1000cc formula one/superbike class, he may be as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs on Friday when he calculates the risks and rewards in his attempt to achieve an historic five-in-a-row win streak on Boxing Day.

Mitch Rees previously won the formula one class overall in the Suzuki International Series in 2020, 2022, 2023 and last Christmas too (the series was not run in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

Meanwhile, the Robert Holden Memorial (RHM) feature race will no doubt be one of the highlights of Whanganui’s finale on the Cemetery Circuit.

It is a prestigious race that was won by Mitch Rees in 2022, 2023 and 2024, by his late brother Damon Rees in 2020 and by their father Tony Rees on seven occasions (between 1990 and 2016).

It could have been another Rees family battle at the front this year too, with 58-year-old “elder statesman” Tony Rees chasing hard early on in the 2025 series, until his unfortunate crash at Manfeild less than two weeks ago sent him to the sidelines.

With a broken ankle, Tony Rees has declared he is not going to line up in Whanganui on Friday.

“I haven’t had too many broken bones over the years,” said a philosophical Tony Rees this week. “But when you’re pushing hard, sometimes it goes wrong. Even the best riders in the world can crash.”

Instead, it will likely be Rogan Chandler who poses the greatest threat to Mitch Rees on Boxing Day, the Upper Hutt man just three points behind Mitch Rees as they head onto the track for the first time on Friday morning.

All the other various classes too will provide nail-biting excitement, the racing always close around the Cemetery Circuit, while it’s worth noting that Whanganui crews will be out in force in the formula one, formula two and Pre-82 classic sidecars classes.

Rounds one and two, at Taupo and Manfeild respectively, gave bike fans, enthusiasts, supporters, sponsors plenty to salivate over and they’ve shown how highly they value and love the competition that they’ve shown up in great numbers to watch it live and personal.

“It’s been a fantastic series so far, with great racing throughout the classes,” said Suzuki International Series organiser Allan ‘Flea’ Willacy.

“The competition has been good. The weather’s been perfect and we’ve seen great crowds. The local heroes, and the overseas competitors too, have not let us down and they’ve put on a great show.

“We’re all looking forward now to the final round.”

Leaders after two rounds in the 2025 Suzuki International Series are: Whakatane’s Mitch Rees (formula one); Auckland’s Cameron Leslie (formula two/supersport 600); Silverdale’s Tyler King (formula three); Silverdale’s Tyler King (supersport 300); Paraparaumu’s Richard Markham-Barrett (formula sport, senior, over-600cc); Feilding’s Jordan Walters (formula sport, junior, up to 600cc); Auckland’s Paul Pavletich (Pre 89 post classics, senior, over-600cc); Auckland’s Scott Findlay (Pre 89, post classics junior, under-600cc); Upper Hutt’s Keiran Mair (Pre 95, post classics senior, over-600cc); Te Awanga’s Eddie Kattenberg (Pre 95, post classics junior, under-600cc); Tokomaru’s Barry Smith/Whanganui’s Louise Blythe and Panmure’s Adam Unsworth/Whanganui’s Bryce Rose (F1 sidecars) first equal; Whanganui’s Tracey Bryan & Jo Franzen (F2 sidecars); Whanganui’s Richie Dibben (supermoto).

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – December 2025 – Australian engineering outfit Irving Vincent has confirmed it will return to Daytona in 2026, contesting the MotoAmerica Super Hooligan category at Daytona Bike Week, 18 years after its historic Battle of the Twins victory at the iconic Florida circuit.

Founded by brothers Ken and Barry Horner, Irving Vincent made international road racing history in 2008 when Craig McMartin rode the team’s hand-built air-cooled V-twin to victory at Daytona International Speedway. Now, Nearly two decades on, the team has used recent club-level competition and testing to benchmark its current package against modern machinery ahead of a return to the high banks in 2026.

“We needed to be able to gauge where we felt we would be, and are we up to scratch with what would be over there? Yes, we are,” said Ken Horner.

Irving Vincent will compete in the Super Hooligan category as part of the MotoAmerica 2026 season. While two Irving Vincent machines have been developed for the program, event regulations allow the team to race a single entry at Daytona. MotoAmerica has formally confirmed the eligibility of the Irving Vincent platform, enabling the two-valve air-cooled Australian V-twin to return to top-level US competition.

“The rules are a lot more generous for air-cooled bikes because they’re wanting variety on the grid,”  Horner said.

Of the two bikes under development, one is the team’s established 1620 cc air-cooled V-twin, while the second has been expanded to 1760cc, a step taken to improve durability under Daytona’s sustained full-throttle loads. Both machines are being prepared in Irving Vincent’s Melbourne workshop with a focus on reliability, cooling efficiency and chassis stability on the banking.

Australian racer Beau Beaton will ride the Irving Vincent at Daytona, with Craig McMartin confirmed as Beaton’s crew chief. McMartin rode the bike to its landmark 2008 victory and will return to the event with the team for the first time since that win.

Supporting the campaign logistically is the Horner brothers’ engineering business, K.H. Equipment, which operates a facility in Houston, Texas. The US base provides a practical staging point for the Daytona effort and allows the team flexibility should further American racing opportunities arise.

“Houston becomes the base,” Horner said. “The containers will go straight there and we’ll truck everything to Daytona. After that, we’ll reassess our options.”

Irving Vincent’s 2026 Daytona return represents a measured, well-prepared re-entry to one of road racing’s most demanding stages, backed by experience, continuity and a platform refined specifically for the challenge.

Rest In Peace Robert “Rob” Iannucci

Visionary, Motorsports Pioneer, Attorney, Preservationist

Robert “Rob” Iannucci, a retired New York attorney, motorsports pioneer, and preservationist, passed away on December 7, 2025, at the age of 80. Rob was known for an unshakable passion for history in all its forms. Whether he was restoring buildings, reviving forgotten boats, or bringing legendary motorcycles back to life, he approached every endeavor with curiosity, conviction, and a passionate spirit.

As a young adult working in auto garages, Rob discovered a fascination with how things worked. That early curiosity stayed with him for the rest of his life.

Born in New York and raised in New Jersey, Rob began his professional path in public service. He worked as a Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney, a social worker, and a probation officer in both New York and New Jersey. His commitment to community extended far beyond local borders. During his service in the Peace Corps in Jamaica and Barbados, he helped establish commercial fishermen’s cooperatives. It was an early reflection of his desire to strengthen communities by giving people the tools to succeed. It was also there that he met his wife and lifelong business partner, Sonia Ewers.

Rob’s legacy shone brightly in the world of motorsports. As the founder of Historic Grand Prix motorcycle racing in the United States, he created Team Obsolete, a pioneering presence on the international racing stage. Between 1978 and 2002, his team competed in more than 1,800 races across the globe, from Norway to Japan, earning respect, admiration, and countless accolades. His riders included icons such as Giacomo Agostini, Phil Read, Jim Redman, Kenny Roberts, and Dave Roper, the only American to win the Isle of Man TT. Team Obsolete built one of the world’s most admired collections of museum-quality Grand Prix motorcycles, including the rare 1965 Honda RC165 250/6 and the AJS E95 Porcupine. The team continued to travel to race events, carrying Rob’s passion forward.

RIP Rob Iannucci.

Rob had a rare gift for recognizing potential where others saw only decline. In real estate, he restored and revived unique and distressed properties throughout the United States and the Caribbean. In Kingston, New York, the former capital of the state, he assembled and prepared for development three-quarters of a mile of waterfront property, acquiring 37 parcels in less than two years and building a strong working relationship with the City that continues today. In Downtown Brooklyn, he transformed a 50,000-square-foot commercial loft building, giving the building new purpose and providing the first office for the now-famous Etsy website.

His devotion to preservation extended to the water. Rob worked tirelessly to rescue WWII naval vessels through his nonprofit, the Fleet Obsolete Restoration Project. He saved several World War II PT Boats, an Army tug, and a 180-foot former floating hospital barge. Some of these vessels had seen action in the Pacific Theater and at Normandy. Under his care, they found new life and purpose, with ongoing efforts to prepare them for educational and humanitarian missions.

Rob Iannucci lived with bold ambition and a deep reverence for the past. He believed that history deserved to be protected, honored, and shared. Whether it roared around a racetrack, sailed into danger, or stood weathered on a forgotten shoreline, he worked to keep it alive. His legacy endures in every engine he restored, every structure he saved, and every life he influenced along the way.

He leaves behind family, longtime colleagues, and many friends. Each of them carries with them the inspiration of his work, his relentless curiosity, and his extraordinary passion.

Saddlemen Race Development Unveils 2026 MotoAmerica Plans

Saddlemen Race Development is excited to announce their 2026 MotoAmerica roadracing program, with three riders aboard Saddlemen Drag Specialties Harley-Davidson racing motorcycles. Competing in two classes, Team Saddlemen is hoping to capitalize on six years of experience and once again put their bikes on top of the podium.

The Saddlemen team was there to kick oT the very first MotoAmerica King of the Baggers race, held at Laguna Seca in 2020. Now entering their sixth full season of competition, Saddlemen Race Development will field two riders in King of the Baggers, aboard Saddlemen Drag Specialties Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited motorcycles. Additionally, Saddlemen will return to reclaim the Super Hooligan National Championship, aboard three specially prepared Harley-Davidson Pan America ST race bikes.

Cory West (13) returns to both the King of the Baggers series as well as Super Hooligans, where he won the 2024 title and is eager to reclaim it. With multiple championships in his career, Cory is the longest running member of the Saddlemen Race Development team and has been instrumental in developing both the Road Glide and the Pan America to their full racing potential.

Jake Lewis (85) will again compete under the Saddlemen banner, in both King of the Baggers and also the Super Hooligans series, where he missed out on the 2025 championship by a slim four point margin. A storied roadracer with multiple championships to his credit, Jake starts his fourth season with Team Saddlemen and is eager to add another championship to his resume.

James Rispoli (43/1) is new to Team Saddlemen but certainly not new to racing. Rispoli, sometimes known as ‘Hogspoli’, will wear his 2025 Super Hooligan National Championship #1 plate under the Saddlemen banner alongside the 2024 champ, Cory West, and 2025 runner-up Jake Lewis. Rispoli, who holds a Bonneville land speed record, has also raced in professional flat-track and has won several US professional roadracing championships. Along with West and Lewis, he’ll ride a specially prepared Saddlemen Drag Specialties Harley-Davidson Pan America ST, making this the Super Hooligan dream team.

The Saddlemen Race Development team brings together a powerful partnership with Harley-Davidson, Screamin’ Eagle, Drag Specialties, Mission Foods, and a number of other key sponsors.

The team’s Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited and Pan America ST motorcycles are modified to the full extent allowed by the rules, bringing innovation to the table with custom modifications and cutting-edge carbon fiber bodywork.

Participating in everything from Flat Track to Land Speed Records is how Saddlemen pushes the limits of their products and gains real-world feedback. Saddlemen’s focus on testing new products through racing is an important part of their strategy to maintain their reputation as the “Gel Seat Experts”. Saddlemen’s new Performance Carbon Fiber product line was developed side by side with their racing carbon fiber program and is now available for your Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
