Well after 5 years in business it is finally time to step up and get my own place. I could not have reached this level without all my great clients, so I thank you all for helping me get this far. It is your word's of mouth that is the greatest advertising I could ever have. Right now the scheduled completion date is September 6th. I will be needing to close the shop for a couple weeks around that time to get my shop and paint booth moved over and situated in the new location. So bare with me if you have a helmet in the works at that time. I will be updating the news section with pictures as the progress of the building goes forward. Let me tell you, it is going to be a very nice setup.

This video was shot with the GoPro HD sports video camera. Photographer Donald Miralle talked the Intersport guys to stick this camera up by the side view mirror for some intense video footage. Ride along with Jon as he rips down Shore Line Dr. at 190 MPH! you can also check out Donald's blog here he does some pretty amazing work.

As part of our partnership with Jason DiSalvo we will be running this advertisement in Road Racing World magazine. It should be in the August issue, check it out!

Well I went to do a little racing and spectating at MMP over Memorial Day weekend. I raced in the support race for World Superbikes and it went well considering the big crash I had. In first free practice I crashed on lap 8 at about 120 mph. my foot peg hit the ground and it took the traction away from my tires. I low sided and slid across the track and into the gravel, my bike did the same but once it hit the gravel it started to flip and broke a bunch of stuff off. As a result I missed qualifying. We got the bike patched up and I went out for qualifying in the morning and barely made it into the show. I started from the last row in 40th place and finished in 28th after 10 laps. The race was scheduled for 12 but the race was red flagged due to a crash. All things considered I walked away pretty happy. I had a beat up bike and was still able to race people. I was not over taken and I managed to pass people and could have done even better had the race gone the full distance.

When I wasn’t racing I was watching the pros in World Superbike and World Supersport dice it up, including my boy Jason DiSalvo on the ParkinGo BE1 Triumph 675. Just like all year so far he was the slowest guy in a straight line, which just goes to show he is down on power. Jason is one of the smallest and lightest guys on the grid so I know it wasn’t weight and aero that was slowing him down. I was watching from the track and he was visibly faster than anyone on the track in braking and mid corner speed. He finished the race in a disappointing 10th place. I am very confident that if he had a bike with the same power as the front runners that he would be right up there fighting for wins and podiums.

As a result of the team not having the ability to give Jason what he needed to succeed this new development happened just days after his home race in Utah.

Stafford, New York: Popular American racer Jason DiSalvo has announced that he and the ParkinGO BE1 Triumph team have amicably parted ways, as of today's date.

DiSalvo has won races in the AMA Supersport, Superstock, and Formula Xtreme classes, and most recently earned six pole positions in the 2009 Daytona Sportbike championship. In 2008 DiSalvo finished third in the AMA Superbike Championship. During DiSalvo's professional career he has recorded multiple wins, dozens of podium finishes, plus multiple second- and third-place final championship rankings in the AMA series over the course of the years 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2008.

Moving to the Supersport World Championship for 2010, DiSalvo showed his quickness in learning new tracks and was hopeful of a season with many top-ten finishes leading to the goal of the podium, as soon as possible. Unfortunately, limited-resources within the team have impacted his progress in the highly competitive field of the World Supersport class. DiSalvo is thankful for all that the team was able to do in introducing him to the world-racing scene of production-based motorcycles.

DiSalvo said, "The guys on the ParkinGO team really gave me an education about racing at this level, and I thank them for all they've done. Being the only team with double the number of riders has made it difficult for each of us to perform at our best. I'm dedicated to the craft of racing that I love so much, but with my bike regularly showing 5-10 mph less speed than the others through the traps, there's a truth that neither of us can ignore. I hope that with one less rider these guys can do better and that I can find a team who's ready to benefit from my riding. Again, I thank the team for trying as hard as they could with what they have to work with."

Well it is that time of year again! I was really looking forward to going racing again after my get off in June last year where I broke my collarbone. It has been a long nine months and I was jonsing for some speed and wheel-to-wheel action. I knew going down that I would be very rusty so keeping it rubber side down the whole weekend was my only real goal.

Instead of having only practice sessions on Saturday they decided to throw in some races to break up the weekend. I wasn’t sure about this idea! That meant I would only get a half-day of practice to get used to riding again before I had to race these guys. And even worse it was the big boy class with the fast guys; I was going to get my ass kicked! And that is exactly what happened! I rode like crap and finished in 12th place. The entire day I had zero confidence getting on the gas, the bike wanted to spin the rear and I really didn’t want to high side. At the end of the day I put on a new set of tires and got rid of the old ones that sat in the garage all winter. This made a huge difference; right away in morning practice on Sunday the bike felt 100% better. I had 3 races on Sunday and two of the classes I knew I had a good chance of winning. First race was the Amature 600 class and I started from the 2nd row. I got a decent start and made some passes and took the lead with a hand full of laps to go, crossed the finish line in first place. All right! That was good, now two more to go. The second race of the day was another big boy class and I again started from the second row, I think in 8th. This race was pretty good, the fast guys obviously checked out and I came in 7th place with 4th thru 8th separated by 2 seconds.

I had my last race of the day directly after the middle weight superbike race so I had no time to go back to the garage and rest, but this was another class I had a good chance of winning. This class was the Amature open class where you can ride anything, 600’s, 1000’s, Vtwin’s, whatever. I started deep in the pack this time, 3rd row. I got a good start and was fighting up front. My rival Brad Moore got the whole shot so I didn’t want to get stuck behind faster 1000cc bikes down the straight so I had to be aggressive right from the start. I made contact with my buddy Mark and that allowed Tommy on his GSXR 1000 to rip past me. I was stuck behind him the whole race and could not pass him. He would park it in the corners and rocket off with his more powerful machine. On the last lap I saw an opportunity to dive up the inside and pass him. But by that point Brad had too big of a gap for me to do anything with. So I just made sure Tommy didn’t come back at me and I crossed the finish line in 2nd.

My lap times were about a second and a half slower than this time last year but I still had a great weekend. I had some good battles, I stuck some good passes on some guys, I didn’t get overtaken a whole lot, I didn’t crash, and I had a couple really good results. I am not really sure how many races I will be able to do this year because summer time is just insanely busy in the shop and I want to make a few trips to go to World Superbike, ALMS, and Grand-Am at miller. It is a shame I can’t make it to all the races because I am confident I can win both the Amature championships. We will see what the season brings.

Also, please enjoy this video I made from the on board footage I got from the race weekend. There is some pretty exciting stuff in it...

I’ve been looking forward to racing at Barber since I heard how amazing it was from several friends and competitors. When I arrived at the track early Wednesday morning for the test day I couldn’t believe my eyes. I love tracks such as VIR, Mid-Ohio and Road America, but Barber Motorsports Park is truly the top step on this list. Everything from the entry road to the paddock is perfect, then your eyes wander to the perfectly manicured grass and amazing art that fills the entire facility. I couldn’t wait to get on track!

Wednesday’s test day included several on track sessions. The #6.2 Camaro needed a bit of help to run smoothly around the tight and twisty track here in Alabama, but Mitchum Motorsports did a fantastic job and we were able to consistently drop time and become more competitive as the day went on. We ended the day with smiles all around as we set our fast lap of the day in our last session. Time to nut & bolt the car and get ready for the race weekend mayhem!

A huge thunderstorm had moved into Birmingham early Thursday morning and there was heavy rain through lunchtime. As everyone was hiding inside we were patiently waiting to see how the track was drying with the sunshine that was slowly coming through the rain clouds. My teammate Devin Cates did a quick reconnaissance lap and confirmed the track was not dry enough so we let the competition dry the track for us. It was a smart decision by the team as several cars ended up spinning and causing a mess while we waited for our time to shine.

The yellow flags came and went and it was finally dry enough to send Devinout. He got comfortable in the car quickly and consistently picked up time throughout the run. Throughout the entire day, we continued to fine tune the car setup knowing that qualifying was the next morning.

Perfect conditions were upon us for the last practice session of the weekend, it was a cool sunny morning and the facility showed its true beauty Friday morning. I was able to set our fastest lap of the weekend in Practice 3 and ended P12 in the session. Then it was time to get Devin ready for qualifying just a short hour or so later. Devin took to the track in the 2010 Riley Tech Camaro for his first qualifying session of the season and turned his fastest lap of the weekend. We would be starting 27th overall –, dang those Mustangs and M3’s are fast!

Race day was upon us and we had our work cut out for us, starting P27 we had to work through the field to earn a good finish. Devin kept the car clean throughout his stint in the car and brought it to me in 23rd position. I knew that we had a car that would be strong in the middle of the stint and that’s exactly where I pushed it. Through several yellow flags and hazardous wrecks I was able to overtake and work my way up to a respectable 10th place before the checker flew and the Barber 200 had come to a close.

This was my first Top10 finish in Grand-Am and I couldn’t be happier. Mitchum Motorsports did a fantastic job in getting the car up to speed and Devin Cates did what he needed to do and gave me a clean car to finish the race strong. With this being only my 3rd Grand-Am race I am completely amazed at how far we have come with this new Camaro while competing against the best teams in North America. I look forward to Round 4 at Virginia International Raceway, a track that I have some more experience at having competed there last year in the VW TDI Cup.

Scott sent me his used Bell GP2 helmet and man was it thrashed! He drives open wheel cars so his helmet really took a pounding from flying rocks. After I got it all repaired and primed I threw some paint on. As you can see the helmet now looks brand spanking new. After these pics were taken I put a clear bra on to prevent this nice new paint job from getting ruined from more racing.
