While winning is always the goal, our main goal as a team was track time for the MotoAmerica weekend for Sean and Brian while getting more time on the MA spec Dunlop Tires. The team worked forward starting the race back in 7th after the first lap. Each rider put in solid laps that put LWT Racer well cemented into 3rd place going into the 4th hour of the race.

Bigun Motorsports supplied the Dunlop Slicks. We ran a medium+ 180/60 rear and it looked absolutely amazing after the race. Both medium front and medium+ rear tires had perfect wear.

Stint #1: Finnerty, first time at this Pittsburgh track, goes out first and as always very consistent in an endurance setting. Will completed 37 laps, 19 of those being in the 1:59 range. Fast lap of a 1:57.866.

Stint #2: McGlade completed 28 laps. Brian also was very consistent doing the majority of this laps int eh 1:57 range. Fast lap of 1:56.310

Stint #3: Dougherty had to learn the track on the fly with nearly no practice laps. Sean completed 19 laps. Fast lap of a 2:01.404

Stint #4: Wiest had the most boring stint as there was no need to push as the team’s position in 3rd place saw a big gap up to 2nd place and back to 4th place. Completed 33 laps. Fast lap: 1:55.426 on lap 100 of 118
