Zero-Emissions Racing
Over 20,000 fans gathered to launch the next generation of motorcycle racing in Canada as the TTXGP North American 2010 Round 3 got underway.
Michael Barnes on the Lightning electric superbike lit the track up with a best lap time of 1:35.278, only 13 seconds off the Honda CBR600RR pace. Richard Hatfield has certainly sparked the field with a motor and a package that is dominating the field.
Thad “Wolffman” Wolff kept a consistent strong performance for Team Norton Electra and repeating his place on the podium for a string second.
Mavizen and Team Werkstatt took its first zero-emissions motorcycle racing podium with a strong 3rd finish leading a full lap ahead of Michael Hannas. Steven Belknap on Square Wave came in 5th with a solid 2:12.218.

The circus moves to VIR for the TTXGP North American Final and the crowning of the TTXGP North American Champion 2010.
