James Gang/Hoban Brothers Finish 3rd in MOTO-ST GST Class

Daytona Beach, FL (Oct. 21) -- James Gang/Hoban Brothers Racing riders Paul James, Jeff Johnson and Walt Sipp finished third in class and twelfth overall at the MOTO-ST 8 Hours at Daytona season finale. It was the #70 Buell team's fourth Grand Sport Twins (GST) podium finish in the deepest, and most competitive field of the season.

James Gang/Hoban Brothers Racing ended the season third in MOTO-ST GST championship points with one win, one second place and two third place finishes. The team never finished outside the top five.

"Daytona's Victory Lane is a sweet place to end the MOTO-ST season," said team owner Paul James. "After finishing on the box in all three MOTO-ST events held so far at Daytona, we've come to expect nothing less."

"It was a great weekend for our team," said Hoban Brothers' John Dahmer. "Our riders clicked off consistent lap times, our pit stops were solid and our 2008 Buell Thunderstorm engine worked flawlessly. It was a total team effort."

The team's Buell Firebolt XB12R completed 216 laps of the 3.5 mile Daytona International Speedway road course during the 8 hour event and passed the post race dyno test with the same horsepower as measured before the start of practice the day before.

In the Championship Cup Series races held at Daytona during the same weekend, team rider Jeff Johnson won the CCS Lightweight Formula 40 National Championship race aboard his Hoban Brothers Racing Buell. James took third in CCS Lightweight SuperSport, fourth in GT Lights and fifth in SuperTwins aboard his Buell.

"The Buell XB12R has been a good endurance racing platform for us," said Crew Chief Mike Kirkpatrick. "We kept the bike mostly stock and had strong, consistent results. We're already looking forward to next season."
