Peter Lenz double podiums in his first OMRRA expert events
Sep 20, 2005, From a press release issued by MiniGPX.com
MiniGPX.com sponsored rider, Peter Lenz rode his Factory BMS taking two second place finishes Sunday in his first OMRRA expert races held at Portland International Raceway.
Previously, Peter won his OMRRA novice races and was moved up to the expert grid. In the morning heat races he was gridded at the back due to a lack of expert points. Peter was able to come from the back and finish a strong second place in both Junior GP and Junior Production.
For the afternoon mains, Peter lined up next to his Factory BMS teammate, TJ Hart (age 11) the overall series championship leader, who took pole in both heat races. In Junior GP Peter took the holeshot and was leading the expert field for five laps before TJ got Peter on the brakes going into turn one. The race was red flagged two
laps later ending the race.
In Junior Production TJ got the holeshot with Peter on his wheel. TJ gapped Peter over the course of the ten laps. Peter and his teammate, Devon McDonough (age 10), ran nose to tail for remainder of the race with Devon finishing a close third.
Peter and the rest of the Factory BMS team will be in action on October 16 in McMinnville, Oregon.
