As www.islandstats.com reported yesterday, the third and final day of the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix lived up to all expectations of those participants involved.
The USGPRU Moriwaki MD250H Classification had one final race that involved Bermuda pair Cody Sousa-Saints and Bruce Degrilla Jr scheduled for 10:20AM following the practice sessions of the MotoGP Championship Classes. The weather in Indianapolis was slightly cooler in temperature compared to the prior days of the event which provided a bit of relief to the riders.
The riders were held on the grid whilst the 2 riders involved were attended to and the track cleared for racing. Due to the delayed start the race distance was reduced to 11 Laps on the 2.6 mile circuit.
In the end Sousa-Saints completed his second international event in 17th positions just ahead of his teammate Degrilla Jr in 18th by a margin of 0.015 of a second.
Cyril Whitter III, the team Manager said "I am very proud of the accomplishments of Sousa-Saints and Degrilla Jr during the participation in the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix. Traveling from Bermuda to compete in this event was golden opportunity for both of these young men. The event was hosted by MotoGP which is the highest level of motorcycle racing competition in the world. The USGPRU scheduled the Moriwaki MD250H classification to race as a support class for the event provided kids age 12-16 with the opportunity to race alongside MotoGP. This is any racers dream!!"
"Sousa-Saints and Degrilla Jr showed major progression over the weekend. Their performances can be measured by their constant improvement of their lap times over the weekend. We have 2 more races in the United States scheduled by the USGPRU. Bruce and Cody's next event will be at the New Jersey Motor Sports Park in New Jersey on September 10-11th,” continued Whitter III.
Whitter III concluded by saying, “Team Tuned Motorcycle Racing would like to take this opportunity to send our best wishes and prayers to the family of Peter Lenz who passed away on Sunday, August 29, 2010. Peter was taking part in the USGPRU Moriwaki MD250H Classification at Indianapolis and it was a great pleasure befriending Peter at our first USGPRU event. He will truly be missed.”
