Prieto
Sets NeV\T
Record
By
LISA THEOBALD
WEST PALM BEACH, FL, MAY 28
hane Prieto set a track record
with his Yamaha R 1 during the
Unlimited Grand Prix race at Moroso.
His lap time of 1 :29.07 was the
fastest to date on the reconfigured
track. He also led - and won - all six
of the races he entered: the Unlimited
Grand Prix, GTO, GTU, Unlimited
Supers port, Middleweight Supers port
and Middleweight Superb ike races.
In the Shootout, Prieto was out
front from start to finish. On lap one,
Mauro Cereda's GSX-R750 was only
half a bike length behind, with Marco
Martinez, Dave Mcintyre, Jim
Pihokken, Damian Weber and Rick
Narup in hot pursuit. They stepped
up the pace on lap two, with Prieto
and Cereda riding hard out front in a
two-rider breakaway. Further back, in
third place, Martinez led the rest of
the pack on his GSX-R750.
Prieto set the new lap record on
lap three. Cereda was only a few bike
lengths behind and about 20 lengths
ahead of Martinez. On the next lap,
Cered a high-sided and his machine
shut off. He made a remarkable save
and restarted the bike but suffered a
huge drop in time, though not position. He was still in second place but
now 30 lengths behind Prieto, and
only 15 ahead of Martinez.
Out front, the Custom Glass Company/Pirelli/GMD Computrack/Sharkskinz/Vortex-backed Prieto was all
alone with a four-second lead over
Cereda. Martinez was close behind in
third, nine seconds ahead of fourth
place. Prieto took the checkers all by
himself, followed by Cereda, Martinez, Mcintyre and Narup.
Prieto led all six laps of the GTO,
while Cereda dominated second
place. They broke away from the
pack early, and Prieto's momentum
increased with each lap. At the end of
the race, he was out front, all by himself. He finished ahead of Cereda,
Martinez, John Ashmead and
Pihokken.
