Team Tuned Race Review - August 22, 2010 Race Event

Team Tuned Motorcycle Racing's riders participated in the eighth round of the Bermuda Motorcycle Racing Club's National Championship Series on August 22, 2010. The eight event of the championship followed a cancellation of the seventh round due to Tropical Storm Colin two weeks prior. With clear skies and tropical weather the day was due to be full of excitement as the riders returned to racing.

GP70 Classification
Shae Darrell (12) stamped his seal of dominance on the GP70 Classification as he continued his winning streak in this past weekend's event. In both race 1 and 2 Shae started from pole position and led from start to finish. Shae has shown extreme determination in his bid to win the GP70 Championship in 2010 after finishing a near 2nd Place in 2009. With more than 100 points separating Shae from his nearest rival he looks sure to win his first GP70 Championship.

GP125 Classification
Cody Sousa-Saints (16) and Bruce Degrilla Jr. (14) represented Team Tuned in the GP125 Classification in the eighth round of the BMRC National Championship Series. Cody entered the eighth round following back to back wins in round six held on July 25, 2010. Bruce returned from a practice injury to compete in his first round since the fifth round on July 11, 2010.

In race one Bruce and Cody had their hands full battling head to head with 2008 Champion Andrew Decosta. As Bruce made a move for the lead Cody and Andrew continued a heated battle close behind allowing Bruce to open up a gap to his teammate and rival. After a few laps Cody managed a clean pass on Andrew which sealed his position in second place for the remainder of the race. Bruce and Cody took first and second in race one of the event.

In race two Andrew, Bruce and Cody once again battled head to head from the first corner. Bruce and Cody put distance between themselves and Andrew as they battled for first position. An unfortunate mistake saw Cody lose the front as he attempted to overtake Bruce for the lead during the event. Unable to remount Cody was sidelined for the remainder of the race. Bruce went on to win race two followed by Andrew in second place.

Bruce has regained the championship lead in the GP125 Championship whilst Cody sits in 3rd position closely behind Andrew Decosta.

Superbike Classification
Cyril Whitter III (25) did not race in the Superbike category this weekend as his management commitments did not allow. The team was granted the ability to allow Cody Sousa-Saints to race in Cyril's place in both heats of the event.

In his rookie appearance Cody secured a second and third place finish in the Superbike Classification. Competing in 2 classifications during the same event is no easy feat and Cody's accomplishment of securing 2 podium finishes in his first Superbike Race was a milestone in his race career.

Indianapolis Grand Prix
Team Tuned riders Bruce Degrilla Jr. and Cody Sousa-Saints will be competing in the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix scheduled for August 27 - 28, 2010.
