Friday:
My first race of the weekend was the final ESS race of the year. I had the best battle that I have had all year in this race; we were going back and forth the whole race. I tried my best to get on the podium but could not make the pass stick. I ended up forth in the national championship and set my best ever lap time on the 250 with a 1:48.267.

Saturday:
This was the last DSS race for the year. I have won the Southeast Region Championship and was hoping to get a national championship. I tried to stick with the bigger bikes (CBR 500 and Ducati 750) but could not keep up, I finished 3rd in the championship/race. I was also testing a set of Dunlop tires that I have never raced on before and still got 3rd and achieved a 1:49.357. After the race, there was a mandatory tear-down; my bike of course, was found legal. Afterwards, we had to hurry to put the bike back together for the buyer of the bike. I wish him the best of luck with the bike and hope he gets great results.

Sunday:
This was the first time I had ever races on a SV 650. I had only one practice I had on the SV was not the greatest; it was cold, overcast, and only got four laps in and achieved a 1:46.8. In my first race on the SV, was the LWT Twins Superstock, I got a good start and was working through traffic. I LOVE the SV; it is faster and a lot more fun. I was battling some novices and experts and having a blast. I set a lap time of 1:41.298. My next race is the Formula 2, this time I had a better start and was having a blast. I was battling and passing traffic, at the beginning I was passed by some novices, I ran my race and passed experts and was not beat by any novices. I experienced something I have never experienced in my life. I was sliding the rear under power and lifting the front tire off the ground. I set a 1:39.936 that race. It was the most fun I have ever had on a motorcycle in my life.

I would like to thank all of my sponsors and supporters for this year. Thank you sponsors for your time and resources!

As I look forward to the 2015 season, I hope to race in the MotoAmerica spec class if it comes to fruition. Regardless, I will race my SV 650 with WERA, and will be striving for more podiums and for an even better season than this year’s.

Very Respectfully,
Draik Beauchamp
