KFG RACING CHANGES FROM 
DUNLOP TO PIRELLI

KFG Racing, is excited to announce a comprehensive vendor partnership with Pirelli Tires/CT Racing in the Pacific Northwest for 2012.   

 

KFG Racing will continue providing tire service for many Washington and Oregon track days, as well as all WMRRA and OMRRA race series.

 

"We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Dunlop for their services throughout  our 6-year relationship and wish them all the best as they continue to support the road racing world.  Albeit a difficult decision, our long-term business objectives required we entertain new and more profitable opportunities.  After initiating a dialogue with Pirelli recently, we realized close similarities in our business models - this, along with CT Racing's impressive line-up of champions and loyal customer base, warranted our decision to make the change.

 

Our staff is very impressed with their full line of aggressive tires, product availability, and competitive advantage pricing," says owner of KFG Racing, Barry Wressell.

 

In the next week, KFG Racing will be releasing more information about our 2012 program, including racer pricing, sponsorship programs, WMRRA and OMRRA contingency. 

 

We are now accepting resumes for the 2012 season; please forward your info to:  info@kfgracing.com.


BACK EAST TO OHLINS AND PENSKE WE GO
The first weekend in January, KFG Racing's Barry Wressell, headed back east to do some advanced training with Ohlins and Penske.

First on the trip was a two day visit with Ohlins USA located in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Training included the all new Ohlins 25mm gas charged cartridges as well as updates on the TTX shock. We'd like to especially thank Matt Sage and Eric Knight for their time and sharing their expertise with us. 

From there, Barry traveled to Reading Pennsylvania to meet with Penske. He  was privileged to learn about the brand new Penske 8987 Triple Adjustable AMA VB Piston Shock. He spent two days building shocks, testing on the dyno trying different valving. This piston is futuristic in design, it can mimic linear, digressive and regressive. KFG Racing is very impressed with this shock and we're excited to put the shock and our new knowledge to work!

To learn more about these products or service questions, give us a call. KFG Racing is an authorized service center for Ohlins and Penske. We travel yearly to keep up to date on the latest products and advanced training. 

KFG RACING ATTENDS WERA ROUND 1
Barry with Tim Weig exiting the track
After Barry's visit with Ohlins and Penske, he jumped back on a plane and flew West to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. He worked with riders from WMRRA, AFM and AMA.

Tim Weig of WMRRA won his first race of the year on his Suzuki SV 650 with KFG Racing built cartidge kit and Penske shock. Congratulations Tim, one of many to come this year!

Corey Sarros of AFM did an amazing job on his KFG Racing suspension tuned GSXR1000. He finished 4th in Expert Superbike and 5th in Formula One Expert, running against Steve Rapp, Chris Ulrich, shawn Higbee and David Anthony. His bike was dialed in very well, and the new GP Cartridge Kit was fantastic.

Barry also worked with Ryan Matler, who came away with 4th in C Superbike Expert. Running against Joey Pascarrela, Benny Sois Jr., Austin Dehaven, Wyatt Farris, Bryce Prince and Jeff Tigert. A very competitive field to say the least! 

Chris Burgess of WMRRA, aboard his SV650, was running very well in practice, had a disappointing mechanical, ending his weekend before his races even started. Next round Chris, next round!

Tim Hines of WMRRA had a top 5 finish in Formula One Novice, also suspension tuned by KFG Racing. 
 
Congrats to all the racers for their well earned finishes, see you at round 2!
