(Carl Stone photo)
After gaining confidence after last week’s win, J-Law followed up with another stellar performance by taking the Western Lites class victory at the final Anaheim stop on the 08 schedule.

| AMA SUPERCROSS – San Francisco – Rd. 4 |
Jason Lawrence finally was able to turn his fastest qualifying lap time into a main event win, giving the Yamaha of Troy rider and Sunstar-Braking their first win of the season. In doing so, J-Law made up 11 points on series leader Ryan Dungey who finished 7th. The exceptional cleaning capabilities of the BATFLY 270 Front Rotor and Braking Rear Race Rotor never proved more evident than this weekend as Lawrence was able to go faster and stop even better than the competition in the San Fran mud fest. He’ll look to repeat his finish at the final Anaheim round this coming weekend and try to close the gap on Dungey a little more.
Also on the podium for Braking was Pro Circuit’s Brett Metcalfe. Metcalfe fought through the super deep ruts and heavy rain during the main to finish 3rd behind Lawrence and T. Hahn.
Other notable main event finishers were:

| AMA Toyota Arenacross – Louisville, KY |
Once again, Sunstar and Braking riders were in 2 of the 3 podium spots both nights in AMA Arenacross racing. TUF Honda and Sunstar’s Chad Johnson made a statement by winning both nights, padding his points lead in the series to a 25 pt margin over Kelly Smith. Just as the point’s race was really tightening up, Johnson got some help from his Works Triplestar Rear Aluminum sprocket in getting power to the ground quickly to get good starts and take wins on both nights. Friday night saw Yamaha of Troy East Coast Lites rider Tyler Bowers make an appearance in preparation for the SX series and he finished second to Johnson. Bowers is also on Sunstar sprockets as well as the Batfly front rotor and rear race rotor that the YOT team is using this season.
Saturday night, the win of course went to Johnson, and the Fiberwise / Moore Racing ride of Keith Johnson finished 3rd. Keith’s results have steadily been getting better and better as he climbs back into the title chase. Codi Adams continued his impressive, steady results by getting 4th both nights in Arenacross Lites.
Results:
Fri/Sat
Keith Johnson – - / 3rd – Fiberwise / Moore Racing – BRAKING
Tommy Hofmaster – 7th / 9th - Fiberwise / Moore Racing – BRAKING

| AX-SX Update |
AMA Supercross Rd. 2 in Phoenix turned out to be a fierce battle in both classes. Stewart finished ahead of Reed by less than 2 seconds and Jake Weimer was able to hold off everyone in the Lites class. YOT / Braking's Jason Lawrence rebounded from a bad start in the main to finish 5th - but is still in 2nd in points, 9 behind Ryan Dungey. In another great weekend of AX action, Braking riders were once again running well in the main event. The Fiberwise team of Keith Johnson and Tommy Hofmaster finished 5th and 9th respectively in the Arenacross class, while Codi Adams finished 7th in Lites. On Saturday, Braking had Johnson on the podium with a 3rd and Adams with a 9th in AX class, and Adams again with a strong 4th place ride in Lites. |

| BRAKING Podiums in SX & AX |
The newly signed Yamaha of Troy team and Jason Lawrence opened up the 08 season with a 2nd place in the Lites main at A-1. If it wasn't for a minor mistake in trying to re-take the lead, Lawrence had the speed and lap times to win, but he'll look to do that this coming weekend in Phoenix. Lawrence and the team used the new Batfly 270mm Front Rotor and std rear Race Rotor and the exceptional cleaning capabilities of the product to give them strong, consistent braking performance in the mud of the Anaheim opener. In the Toyota AMA AX series in Grand Rapids, Fiberwise/Moore Racing's Keith Johnson was able to get on track for the first time this season as he and his 270mm O/S Front Rotor kit put a stop to the rest of the competition in Grand Rapids, MI. Johnson is rebounding nicely now from a pre-season injury and will be a factor throughout the rest of the series. |

| BRAKING and Factory Yamaha Take 2 SM Championships!! |
With the conclusion of the final round of the 2007 AMA Supermoto Championships this past weekend in Cabazon, CA - 'Troy Lee's Mayhem at the Morongo' - Mark Burkhart and Paul Currie finished off the series taking home the # 1 plates. Burkhart held off the former MX champion Jeff Ward for the AMA Supermoto Championship, while teammate Paul Currie took the AMA Supermoto Lites Championship. This made it a sweep for the Factory Yamaha / Graves Motorsports Braking-backed team. Burkhart and Currie both used the advantages provided by Braking's STX 320mm Supermotard front rotor (pt# STX55D) to clinch prestigious titles. Those advantages include the increased braking power, better and more consistent brake performance due to the most efficient heat dissipation as well as the lightweight design - all of which played a part in bringing these riders a #1 AMA plate. |

- Better braking power and feel
(FTP photo filename: 260kit_OKI24.jpg)
Bat Fly Front Off-Road Wave Rotor: The Bat Fly discs represents a great evolution in heat dissipation, as it has less external perimeter, like the Wave rotor, but also an area that is not covered by the pad. In this way when the internal pad touches the disk the external does not and vice versa, so the heat generated from the friction of the pad on a disk side can be dissipated from the other side. The Bat Fly is the natural evolution of the Wave concept and is easily recognizable thanks to the grooves, painted in black, on the braking track that makes it look like bat wings, this is the cause of Bat Fly name.
Available in 270mm Oversize
- floating rotor constructed of the highest quality stainless steel
- much more aggressive in braking due to the better contact between the pad and rotor
- more resistant to high temperatures
- less weight - better handling of the bike
- better progression in brake feeling compared to Wave or round rotor
- Retail: $600.00
