Liberty Waves Finishes Third In Moto GT1 '09 Championship & More:  Liberty Waves Racing celebrates an exceptional 2009 season with four podium finishes and being among the top 4 bikes for all the races the team finished.  Consistent performance in the MotoGT1 class carried the team past the last two disappointing race rounds to capture the third spot on the Championship podium.  Most importantly, as stated by Team Captain and rider, Eric Pinson, we had a heck of a lot of fun doing something we love – being at the race track and watching racing at its best.  Liberty Waves sponsored amateur rider, Austin Hunter Burchardt, finished the 2009 season, his first season of road racing, with both a Mid-Central Championship for the WERA 125GP class (WERA Pirelli Sportsman Series) and a CCS National Championship for the 125GP Amateur class.  << read more >>

Buells Struggle Through Daytona 8-Hour Season Finale:  Eric Pinson, David Sadowski, Jr and Walt Sipp each had a chance to ride portions of the
8-hour race but mechanical issues ended the team's season 3.5 hours and 82 laps into the race.  The crew made a valiant effort to perform a motor replacement on hot pit lane.  Within 100 minutes, the crew disassembled and reassembled the Kowgo bike and fired the replacement motor to life.  Unfortunately, this life span was short-lived.  The motor coughed and rattled and when revved died with a bang.  The eerie silence that followed marked the end of the team's season.  Track announcer, Richard Chambers, consoled Team Captain, Eric Pinson and allowed Pinson to thank the team and the AMA for keeping riders safe and competitive.  Pinson noted the accomplishments of the team's crew comprised of DeKalb Tech interns who started the season green and over the course of 9 races evolved to a highly competent crew. <<.more>>
