The team borrowed a spare radiator from fellow competitor, Sean Huffman on Friday evening. “I am so thankful to have a friend like Sean. He literally gave us the keys to his house and sent us to his place to pick up the radiator. We were tied in points for second in the Superbike championship, yet he still did everything he could to get us on the grid to settle it on the track. He had already lent me a steering damper and fairing stay. He is a true Sportsman! ” commented Michael. Read more…
