really. I was hoping for a little more. I went out by myself, but I should
through the tri-oval. Anyway, second row isn’t too bad. Anyway, have
hooked up with somebody. I just needed a little bit of a tow through
the tri-oval. Anyway, second row isn’t too bad. Anyway, said the Blue

second row isn’t too bad. I believe my race pace will be a little better,”
said the Blue Springs Harley-Davidson sponsored Buell rider.

Things didn’t get started too well in the race though. “I got distracted
on the grid and got a horrible start. I wound up getting pasted by what
felt like everybody,” said Sipp. While not everyone passed him, he
was only 15th into turn one. That seemed to be the turning point
though. He slowing started making his way through the field. A
combination of a fast running bike and being strong on the brakes
into turn one allowed him to work his way up to 5th with only a couple
laps to go. Walt said, “Yeah, I kind of settled into a rhythm after I got
past everybody. I could see the lead pack of four in front of me, but I
knew by myself I wasn’t going to catch them. I really needed some
drafting help. I’m happy though. That’s my best finish her so I’ll take it!”

After a tough start to the season, the Blue Springs crew was able to
turn it around at the end. The last four races saw Sipp finish 6th at
VIR, 5th at Barber, 6th at Autobahn and 5th at Daytona. Sipp said,
“We were on a good run of form here late in the season. We missed a
top five in season points by only seven points. That’s tough, but we’ll
be back strong next year. I really have to thank all the people at Blue
Springs Harley-Davidson, Lockhart Phillips, Sprocket Specialists, KBC
Helmets, EBC Brakes, Sidi and we were also the top Dunlop rider in
the class this year so a big thanks to Dennis, Steve and Rick for that.”



Look for Walt and the Blue Springs crew to be back strong and to
better there position next year. To find out more about more, visit www.
