Riding laps with Freddie Spencer was a childhood dream come true for Belli.
"I really feel good this year," declared K&N sponsored, Marco Belli, referring to the likelihood of defending his 2010 Italian Championship. Belli felt a good deal of pressure coming into the 2011 season, what with having to prepare his bikes, peak in time for races, and still spend a satisfactory amount of time with his family. "But now I seem to have found a perfect balance and my form, and I really enjoy racing right now," adds Belli.
Marco Belli is so skilled he can race and hitchhike at the same time.
For Belli the answer came in Zen-like form, by not being as overwhelmingly concerned with results, he has allowed himself to ride more freely on the track, and as he says "I can totally express myself now. So I don't look too far ahead, and instead I stay more focused on one race at a time."
Last year Belli ended the season on a high-note by also winning the 2010 Mefo Flat-Track Cup, and then picking up where he left off, Belli started off 2011 by finding the checkered flag at the super fast Hippodrome in Treviso, Italy. Making that event even more special was Belli riding laps with childhood idol "Fast" Freddie Spencer.
A sneak peak at the new Zaeta Belli helped develop and will race at this year's Pikes Peak event.
Says Belli, "Riding laps with Freddie was better than winning, it is like a tattoo in my heart, believe me! Fast Freddie was a poster in my room when I was young. He was a hero. And now I had the opportunity to spend time with him on the track, as well as off the track along with my family. It was absolutely a superb experience. It was a dream come true sliding alongside him on the track. The entire time I was laughing under my helmet. Graziano Rossi was also riding with us so the emotion for me was very high. And Freddie is still really fast."
Belli became involved with K&N after meeting Marcel Blom a couple of years ago at the 2009 Eicma Milano Motorcycle Show. At that time Belli was racing short track in England and had already won three championships. He was also involved with the Italian Federation promoting racing in Italy at that time. Explains Belli, "Marcel immediately gave me great support and I've always been a huge fan of K&N products."
Along with winning the 2010 Italian Championship, Belli also won Mefo Flat-Track Cup.
Currently Belli is preparing for his third run at the mystical Pikes Peak in Colorado this June 26. In his first race up the mountain in 2008 Belli finished second in the 750 cc class riding a bored-out Supermoto KTM. The following year he rode another KTM, a standard version of the 690 Supermoto, and he finished third. This year Belli will ride a new bike.
"Last year I was involved with developing a new motorcycle project named "Zaeta," it's the first ever street legal flat-track bike," Belli says. "I was asked to contribute my experience in this motorcycle and it was great fun, mostly because I was able to collaborate with Graziano Rossi, Valentino's father. The Zaeta is a proper flat-track bike, its very light and very powerful, but also really short and very aggressive. So I'm going try and adapt it to the conditions of this particular race. I'll be racing a street version and I will try to beat my personal record which is about 12 minutes."
Belle Rose, Louisiana and the NHRA Lucas Oil Division 4 Series event at No Problem Raceway Park was the latest stop on the Cummings Motorsports 2011 season schedule and it proved to be another very successful one for team driver Slate Cummings.
NHRA Lucas Oil Division 4 Series Racer Slate Cummings
Slate started off eliminations in his Moser Engineering/K&N B/SA Firebird with a freebie in round one when his opponent Thomas Gordon was unable to make the call and although Cummings has been in numerous situations over his racing career, he says starting with round two it got very interesting for him.
Cummings had round after round of heads up races.
"I've never seen four heads up races like that before on the way to the finals," he said of the way his side of the ladder played out. "We just swapped over engine builders and to have the power that we have is just an ungodly feeling. Jeff Taylor has just made that dang thing fly."
Cummings admits while he was feeling pretty stout about each round of eliminations, third round had him thinking a little more of his opponent. "When I had Jeff Adkinson, I wasn't really sure what he had or not. He has Jeff Taylor power, too and he's one of the fastest [B/SA] in the country. So, I was a little worried about him."
First, Cummings did what he needed to do at the tree, taking a .017 starting line advantage and still had no problem out running Adkinson, as the car also took care of its end of the deal posting a 10.298 to Adkinson's 10.478.
"You know, I have never actually got to run a race and say all I got to do is not go red," Cummings said of his reaction times. "You know, if you're green, you win. So I was set up on a mid-thirty and I've never been able to set up like that in a race before. Usually, I'm set high double-oh."
Cummings continued to put them on the trailer throughout his four heads up rounds, but for the final it was back to bracket mode as he would face the A/SA entry of Jimmy Hidalgo Jr. While Hidalgo had quite the starting line advantage, Cummings used his years of experience to drive a .005 margin at the stripe and a perfect 10.320 on his 10.32 dial and drove away with the Stock victory.
With the win, Cummings has now sealed his spot for the Jeg's All-Stars shootout in both the Stock and Super Stock categories. The All-Stars is an elite race where the best of the best from around the country, with representatives from each NHRA division squaring off for huge prize money and bragging rights, that will take place in July during the NHRA National event in Joliet, Illinois.
"I feel real good about that," he said of the upcoming shootout. "I've got a real good track record of being double entered in the All-Stars. I have the baddest team around and all kinds of folks who come with me to help and I have a new crew chief that just started with us last year. I have no worries, all I have to do is drive."
On top of Cummings elation with his new engine program this season, he was quick to point out that there are some things that he will not change and that's the use of K&N Oil and Air filters on each and every one of the Cummings Motorsports entries.
In addition to a full schedule of upcoming races for Slate and the rest of his family, which include Tulsa and the back to back NHRA Nationals in Bristol and Norwalk, Slate just happens to be looking forward to the end of the season.
He and his wife are expecting their very first child near the first part of this fall and soon they will know if it will be a boy or a girl. And in true Cummings Family Style, the way they find out the sex of their child will be an interesting one. "We're going to do it in a different way," he explained. "We are going to have a party and we aren't going to know the answer. We are going to have the doctor put it in an envelope. So we are going to have a cake made and have a party and when we roll this cake out, we'll cut it and whatever the color is that will tell us what it will be."
No matter a girl or a boy for Slate and his wife, this writer is sure a Cummings Motorsports JR Dragster is already in the works.
It wasn't exactly the kind of weather one would expect to be racing in for Memorial Day Weekend, but Emporia, Kansas engine builder and reigning NHRA Super Comp Champ, Gary Stinnett certainly didn't seem to mind the chilly temperatures, nor did his Undercover Dragster.
Gary Stinnetts' NHRA Super Comp Dragster at Brainerd International Raceway
The venue for the latest event on his 2011 schedule has become a very special place for Stinnett, after all, the last two NHRA National events he participated in at Brainerd International Raceway [2009 & 2010], he came home with a victory and thanks to his most recent accomplishment at the facility, he may wish all his events were there.
"Going into the race, I was leading the Jeg's All-Stars [division] points in both cars, even though it was just a round or two in each car," he said. "So when I lost first round in Super Stock and the other guy won, I lost the berth to the All-Stars in that car, but I kept going rounds in the dragster."
"To be honest, I didn't really care to win them both, due to the fact that I've been the in the All-Stars multiple times and with two cars," he explained. "It's such a small field that trying to be in two classes is such a nightmare and pretty much ruins the odds of winning in either class. So, I wasn't wishing for my demise in one of the other, but it doesn't hurt my feelings that I'm only going there in one car."
For Stinnett to seal the deal for the All-Stars in Super Comp, he knew he needed to go at least round for round with the others who were right on his tail and based on his killer driving combined with a deadly consistent car over the course of the event, that was not a problem at all.
A short while ago, Stinnett has made some changes to the new dragster that proved to be a very good move during a test session at Topeka. "With the way my lights were over the course of time runs and in eliminations, I am very optimistic for the rest of the year with the way that car is."
As he made his way through the rounds, it gave him the added confidence he needed to go on for the win. "That's the first time ever in the late rounds that I'm up there going, 'you know as long as I don't mess up, I cannot lose.' I'm not the big ego guy like that, I don't assume that I have anything won, but I knew if I just let off the button, the car was going to be thirteen or something and run a ninety. It was a really good feeling."
Stinnett continued to better his opponent's on the tree with very consistent reaction times, but even the best racer can use a little luck on their way to the final. His came in the semi-final when his scheduled competitor, Don Westra did not make the call. Even on his competition single, Stinnett posted a stout .013 light and a dead-on 8.908 ET on his way to the Super Comp final.
While he had a super starting line average all throughout the event, Stinnett saved his best reaction time for the final when he put up a .007, although he never needed it as his opponent Mike Kritzky shaved a little too much yellow off the tree and went .009 red, wasting his 8.909 pass.
Stinnett has the upcoming weekend off, before heading out to add more points to his early season totals in both his Super Stock and Super Comp entries, both loaded up with numerous K&N Engineering products.
"All of my vehicles have both K&N air and K&N oil filters," he said. "As an engine builder, K&N products are the top quality on the market. They are ahead of the rest when it comes to R&D and testing. Their filters have the least amount of restriction, yet do the job. I don't have the least bit of concerns with the quality of any K&N product, it's why you can put them on and not have to worry about them doing their job."
