Team Factory Recreation - Royal Distributing - Rockstar Energy
April 30, 2010
With the early spring weather, the final National Event at Horseshoe Valley resort had to be cancelled. Royal-Rockstar’s Lee Butler held a commanding lead in the National Pro Stock Standings. Butler was tied in Points with Iain Hayden in the National Pro Open standings. Due to the fact that Lee had two National victories to Hayden’s one, Lee Was declared the Open National Champion. Lee and the entire team would have preferred to settle the Championship on the racetrack, but the weather would not co-operate. Lee took some injury licks this season and rode through them to the titles and numerous moto and final wins and podiums.
Overall the season was a season of successes, marred by some tough racing luck. Lee Butler took home the National Titles in both Pro Stock and Pro Open, as well as the regional Pro Open Championship. Lee faced some time injured from a bad jump in Sarnia and was forced to starts only in Kirkland Lake. Rookie Semi-Pro rider Dylan Hall was 2nd In the National Semi-Pro Open Mod Championship and 5th in National Semi-Pro Stock title chase. Dylan was not without hardware, and he brought home the Regional Semi-Pro Open Mod title as well. Overall the team hauled in 4 championships and was 2nd in 3 more of the 8 premier championship titles. Dylan Hall will be a force and title contender in the Semi-Pro ranks in 2011.
Joey Sagan had his best start to the season in his career, winning the season opener in Searchmont, and following it up with a pair of seconds the next week in Gaylord, MI. Joey was hurt in Owen Sound, and fought his way back to race the next couple races. In Barrie, ON Joey suffered a season ending injury in a lead pack crash in a Pro Open heat moto race. Even Joey’s incredible determination and dedication could not overcome the leg injury and he was forced to the sidelines for the remainder of the season.
Late in the season, Royal invited ISOC pro Steve Taylor to run some races on the vacant Sagan race sleds. Taylor put in some strong runs and kept the sponsors logos on the podium! Steve won Pro Stock in Sarnia, and then followed it up with a win in Pro Open Mod in Kitchener and a solid 4th in Pro Stock.
The Royal Distributing Rockstar Factory Recreation crew will be at the CSRA banquet May 14th to collect the hardware!
