"Szokefest" Concludes at Mosport International Raceway
Jordan Szoke moved ever closer to an exceptional perfect season, a groundbreaking seventh Canadian Superbike National Championship, and a fifth Pro Sportbike Championship during rounds 4 and 5 of the Canadian National Championship this past weekend at Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville ON. In the most convincing fashion, Jordan Szoke swept the Superbike and Sportbike wins for the weekend aboard his Waznie Racing/Ciclo Werks BMC DeWildt Honda CBR1000RR and CBR600RR. [...]
It was a busy weekend for the Fast Company crew, as they also prepared Jordan's wife Amy for her classes, AM Sportbike and a cameo in Honda Pro Oils Women's Cup. Amy lived up to her famous last name by scoring her first ever National Win in the Pro Honda Women's Cup on her CBR600RR. Amy snatched the lead by the first lap, and lead the entire race until three corners to the finish where she was passed by a fellow competitor. Szoke was not finished yet as she dramatically re-passed for the lead in the last corner to earn her first national checkered flag. "I didn't lead the entire race to give it to someone else so close to the end. Jordan always tells me to never ever give up, so I didn't." smiles Amy. "I was ecstatic to stand on the podium in front of my family and major sponsors that could make it this weekend. I really wanted to make them proud, it sure means alot to me that I could win it today for all of us."
Amy also finished 11th and 12th respectively in her Am Sportbike class, beating her personal best Mosport lap time by almost a second. "Jordan has been coaching me on how to put an entire race together, not just a fast lap here and there." says Amy. "I have been focusing very hard on becoming more consistent to take it to the next level. I am very lucky to have the opportunity to not only pit with, but train, and live with a 12 time National Champion, I'm learning what it takes to become a racer."
The Szokes would like to thank Joe Rocket Canada for creating their one-off promotional "Hardcore Canadian" leathers for the weekend, and BKDesigns for Jordan's new custom Superbike helmet for 2010.
Watch for Jordan Szoke defending his 74 Points Superbike lead and a 53 Sportbike points lead at the final two rounds of the Canadian National Championships in Schubenacadie NS Canada on June 24 - 27.
