DUNLOP AND JAKE HOLDEN BREAKS  LAP RECORD AT ARRAYO!

Jake Holden breaks the Arroyo Seco lap record on his EvanSteelPerformance.com BMW S1000RR.  The team attended round two of the ASMA road race series to get some testing in before the upcoming AMA Pro Racing Big Kahuna at Road Atlanta. Holden won both of Sundays 1000cc races, Unlimited Superbike and the Formula Arroyo money race, turning best laps of 1:06.1 in both races despite cool and windy conditions. Roger Heemsbergen turned a new personal best lap of 1:07.1 while trying to match Holdens pace, and the two of them gapped the field immediately. Jake ran on both the new USA spec Dunlop slicks and the British made Dunlop slicks, turning almost identical lap times on each.

Jake Holden “This is my second time out here to Arroyo Seco, and I love the track and the people. It was a fun weekend, and we made some major progress with the bike, we tried some rear suspension ideas and it made the bike much more comfortable for me. I’m really looking forward to getting to Road Atlanta and seeing what we can do there! I really want to thank Roger and Michelle who own and run the track for putting on a great event, as well as for helping our team out by letting us stay Monday and do a Jake Holden Riding Clinic here. The money earned from that is really helping us get to the next AMA round at Atlanta. Special thanks to Josh Kaufman from Speedcell also for his support. I can’t wait to get back out here and race with these guys again!”

Evan Steel “We made some progress with the rear suspension this weekend, and the bike overall is a little better everywhere. We will keep chipping away at it and if we can improve every time out that’s a good sign. It’s always fun to come out to Arroyo Seco, these guys have a lot of fun racing. I want to thank all of the local motorcycle crowd, from Phoenix to Deming, for helping our team out so much this season already. We are headed to Atlanta and hoping to keep pushing towards the front of the AMA Pro Racing National Guard SuperBike class.”
