Amateur Blackhawk Champion

[Super Dave]

On a more gentle note...

Benji Thorton won the Championship Cup Series Blackhawk Farms Championship.

I think that makes four out of the last five amateur champions as Visionsports' riders:  Mike McCay, Steve Kessenich, Mike Chachere, & Benji Thorton.

Benji started motorcycle road racing in August of 2002 on his private Suzuki.  

I'm happy to say that the guys at Visionsports helped a bit, but, still, Benji had to show up, learn whole lot about fixing bikes, and he had to execute.

Nice Job, Benji.

Time for you to list your sponsors...
