Ryan Wells DuQuoin Report:
On Friday, Febuary 24th, my dad and I traveled to DuQuoin, Illinois for a practice day where we would be meeting team owner Dick Weirbach. Since the last time riding the Weirbach 450’s, we have made suspension, power commander, motor & handle bar changes plus a few others to make me feel more comfortable on the bikes.
After the first practice session I immediately felt way better and faster on the bikes compared to the last time I had rode them. After getting on the track for about 5 sessions, I knew we were ready for Daytona. So to make sure the bikes stayed fresh, Dick decided to pack them up for the weekend and I would just race my own 450 on Saturday.
On Saturday the track turned out to be very slippery and hard to pass on. In the Heat race I was lined up 6th on the starting line which put me all the way up by the outside wall. I ended up getting 2nd in the heat behind expert rider Jeff Carver.
In the main event I was back up by the wall on the starting line. After 20 laps on the slick track I ended up with a 4th place in the main event. Overall it was a great weekend and we got some great testing in and figured out some new things on the bikes.
Big thanks to Dick Weirbach for heading to DuQuoin for me to get some more seat time and testing on the bikes before heading to Daytona in 2 weeks.
