Eddie Kraft Perfect – Goes 4 For 4 Finishing Off Outstanding Season
From a press release issued by Honda East of Toledo:
September 28th, 2009 – Toledo, OH – Honda East Yamaha Suzuki of Toledo's sponsored rider Eddie Kraft finished off the 2009 WERA North Central season this past weekend at Nelson Ledges Road Course, located in Garrettsville, Ohio with a win, as well as locking up four class championships, finishing off an outstanding season.
Kraft won the WERA 600 Superstock, 600 Superbike, 750 Superstock and 750 Superbike class championships aboard his Pirelli-shod Yamaha R6. Competing in a schedule of combined WERA regional and national events, Kraft ran up front all season long, tallying up a number of wins and competing against some of the fastest competition in the country.
With Kraft already having locked up three of the four class championships heading into the weekend, Kraft only needed to keep the leaders in sight for the final 600 Superstock race. After locking up the final championship, Kraft jumped onto a Garry Hayes prepped Triumph 675 and went on to win the Heavyweight Superstock race in convincing fashion – all while only putting in a few laps on the bike beforehand.
Honda East's Tom Beagle states, "This team is a sponsor's dream. Not only do the results speak for themselves, but to see the respect of all of the other teams and racers in the paddock is nothing short of amazing. The entire team presents itself with professionalism and integrity which makes all of us at Honda East proud to be associated with this group. There is no doubt this is a relationship that will continue for many years."
The team this year has consisted of Joe Kraft, Doug Cornett, Garry Hayes and Tom Beagle, with Eric Johnston and Aaron Bagwell lending their support as well. The team's knowledge, focus and commitment have been the core reasons for their success. Finishing out of the top ten only once in nearly 40 races this year, they have rolled out one of the most well-prepared machines onto the grid every weekend.
