Mosport, Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) August 30, 2010

After a wicked weekend of wrecks that plagued fellow ALMS competitors, Mosport master Shane Lewis and supersub Lawson Aschenbach were taking the checkered flag in front of thousands of Canadian and US fans on late Sunday afternoon. The Mosport Grand Prix for the American Le Mans series was the penultimate round of the 2010 season, and the Velox Motorsport team showed its teeth by coming together for their first victory, despite some pit lane errors, a hot racetrack and the toughest traffic at any event this season.

Lewis started the #88 Porsche from 3rd position after running hard for the tightest field at any ALMS GTC race yet this year, with the field separated by only 0.9 of a second from position 1 to position 5. Shane immediately shot his car to second place with a great start, and then worked the traffic for over an hour to hound the first place car of Bryce Miller lap after lap. The track, with its fast corners and massive prototype closing speeds, left Shane with few passing opportunities, so he held fast on his bumper until the first caution period an hour into the race. A miscommunication from his pit wall had him unprepared for a driver change, but he switched quickly to hand the car over to Lawson Aschenbach, his co-driver for this weekend while team principal and driver Jerry Vento was unable to make it to Mosport because of a business commitment.

A fast release from pit lane left the team with a penalty to serve when the crewmen could not get over the wall fast enough. Lawson quickly served the penalty when the track went green and got down to business. Lawson was starting to run down the first place car of Luke Hines, who took over for Miller also at the pit stop, at one to two seconds a lap. Lawson was closing rapidly when a huge wreck involving first place Hines put the race under yellow. All GTC cars dove to the pits to get the last needed few seconds of fuel to finish the race, when Velox Motorsports car came out in first place, with the other GTC cars in tow. The field circulated under yellow until the race director decided to red flag the race while the guardrail was being repaired on track. The long delay allowed Lewis and Aschenbach time to plot their strategy from first place for the last 30 minutes of the race, which ended up being unused as IMSA decided the damage to the track was not repairable in the time left for the race. Lawson hopped in the car for his victory lap as the team celebrated on the pit wall.

"This was a tough win! The track is so fast, dangerous really in some ways when you are dealing with 4 different classes that are all battling for the win," stated Lewis. "The closing speeds here are really intense from the prototype cars. To win here you not only have to be fast, but you have to work the traffic to stay in the hunt. Lawson and I were fast and smart and we used that to keep ourselves up near the front, and in the end it paid off. We did have a miscommunication in the pits, which put us way farther back than we wanted to be. We had to serve a stop and go penalty plus 20 seconds and we still rallied back for the win! The competition this weekend was really tough, but man, I sure enjoyed the fight.”

Next race is the final round of the 2010 ALMS season at Road Atlanta on October 2, 2010.

Motocross Riders and their Physical Fitness Needs

  There is no doubt that motocross racing is a physically demanding sport. Strength conditioning and cardio conditioning are important to a rider who expects to compete at a professional level.  A rider’s arms and legs take a beating acting as additional suspension for the core of his body.  Physical size of the body plays a role in fatigue as well. The less you weigh the easier it is for your muscles to resist fatigue. Relaxing while riding hard will also prevent your muscles from over-exerting themselves thus preventing early fatigue.

  Strength conditioning for muscles is important for any serious motocross rider. A rider’s workout should focus on endurance. A rider’s idea body shape is the same as that of a fighter or soccer player. Motocross riders, fighters, and soccer players need lean muscle for strength without weighing the body down. Large bulky muscles are heavy and take more energy to use. The bulkier the muscles the harder the heart has to work to keep those muscles going. Strength training is to be focused on lighter weight with high repetition count. Strength training while wearing a weight vest will also help a rider. A 30 to 50 pound weight vest will help your body have more explosive strength while riding when the vest is gone.

  In addition to strength training, keeping a healthy diet is important to a rider. The less you weigh the easier it will be to complete a moto. A male rider at 190 pounds will fatigue sooner than a 150 pound rider. Your arms will have less weight to keep attached to the bike, and your legs will experience less impact when landing. Serious riders need to keep a healthy weight.

  Muscle fatigue can set in on a rider’s forearms very quickly.  Pay close attention during a motocross practice day and you will see plenty of riders off course shaking out their hands trying to loosen up tightened forearm muscles. Some riders put a “death grip” onto the handle bars that increases forearm fatigue. Using off road gloves with less padding in the palm and a grip enhanced palm can increase the feel a rider has with the handle bars. This type of glove will help a rider find the correct pressure he has to apply to have a firm grip without a fatigue-prone death grip.

  A healthy rider who is in great physical condition who can relax throughout a moto will be faster on the stopwatch without a doubt. Motorsports is a strategy game. Riders who spend time off the track preparing their bodies for competition will always beat the “show up and ride” racers on any given day.  A physically prepared and focused racer will beat his competition before the first gate drops.
