Woska leads Super Sport points after Richmond runner-up and Memphis win
By: Jack Korpela

Brock’s Performance Products AMA/Prostar Super Sport competitor Vince Woska extended his point lead to 112 after a commanding weekend which included a trip to the Memphis Motorsports Park winner’s circle at the Schnitz Memphis Blues Nationals, June 10th-11th.

“Vince’s technique as a rider is nearly flawless. He has perfected it,” team manager Brock Davidson said. “As a rider he gets down the track as consistently and as quickly as possible.”

Woska rebounded from a final round holeshot loss on Friday night in the resumption of the rain-postponed Lucas Oil Spring Nationals from early May.

“The no-wheelie-bar classes are really difficult,” said Davidson, who was the first man to put a street bike in the sevens. “You have to be a Rickey Gadson, Keith Dennis, or Ryan Schnitz kind of rider to pull off a good light and run a good ET when you need it. Good racers find a way to win races when they shouldn’t. Rickey (Gadson) did it a few times for us last year. Vince is getting close to that level, but it takes some time.”

The other highlight of the weekend for Brock’s Performance Products came with the announcement that the Suzuki-backed Velocity Racing Team will utilize Brock’s Performance Product’s Exhaust for the remainder of the season.

“When a factory supported team stops mid-season to put on your stuff, it makes you very proud,” Davidson said. “I can’t even put it into words.”

The frustrating letdown of the weekend for Team BPP came during the painstakingly thorough technical inspection of Woska’s bike after the event. Davidson says he always enjoys when his bikes are deemed legal after such a teardown, but admits that going home with his bike in pieces is starting to wear on him.

“Tech was brutal. They tore us down like I have never seen before,” said Davidson. “They pulled off the head, pulled the valves out, and confiscated our camshafts. Then they split the engine cases, removed the water pump, counted the number of teeth on the transmission gears and made sure our harmonic balancer was still in place. As usual we passed with flying colors, but we have a lot of time in putting this back together. Most shops would charge a customer $1,500 for a job like this.”

Davidson says that’s not the only disadvantage to an extensive teardown.

“We can’t test,” Davidson said. “We still don’t have the cams and the Woskas live 10 hours away. Also, I have to stop my business to put the motor back together.”

Nonetheless the team will be ready for round No. 5 of the series July 15-16 at Norwalk Raceway Park in Norwalk, OH.

Vince Woska would like to thank Brock Davidson of Brock's Performance Products. “None of this would be possible without his support, time, effort, and friendship,” Woska said.
