Fast throughout the week, Steve Rapp stood on the pole position riding the Mission Motors Mission R electric superbike. Qualifying second was Michael Barnes on the Lightning entry, and rounding out the front row was Michael Czysz on the 2011 MotoCzysz E1pc. With eleven motorcycles on the starting grid, Laguna Seca proved to be one of the most well-attended grids for electric motorcycle racing; but perhaps more importantly, it was host to some of the most professional entries we've seen to-date from electric racing.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/e-power-ttxgp-race-laguna-seca-results/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>12</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Friday at Laguna Seca with Scott Jones</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/friday-laguna-seca-scott-jones-2011/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/friday-laguna-seca-scott-jones-2011/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 23 Jul 2011 08:22:28 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[California]]></category> <category><![CDATA[e-Power]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Friday]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Laguna Seca]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photography]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Scott Jones]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TTXGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[United States of America]]></category> <category><![CDATA[US GP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[USA]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=23692</guid> <description><![CDATA[Photos: © 2011 Scott Jones Photography – All Rights Reserved]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/friday-laguna-seca-scott-jones-2011/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Mission Motors Laps at AMA Supersport Pace at Laguna Seca</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/mission-motors-supesport-pace/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/mission-motors-supesport-pace/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 23 Jul 2011 08:06:24 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[AMA Supersport]]></category> <category><![CDATA[e-Power]]></category> <category><![CDATA[electric]]></category> <category><![CDATA[electric parity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[electric racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gas parity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Laguna Seca]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mission Motors]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mission Motors Mission R]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mission R]]></category> <category><![CDATA[parity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[race results]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Steve Rapp]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TTXGP]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=23684</guid> <description><![CDATA[Steve Rapp silenced those critics as the Mission Motors rider smashed the standing "best lap" time from last year's e-Power Championship race at Laguna Seca, which was set by competitor MotoCzysz. Posting a 1'33.714 lap time, Rapp was nearly 11 seconds quicker than last year's pace, and did so at will on the Mission R, posting half of his laps below the 1'34 mark (his slowest hot lap was a 1'36). To put that pace into perspective, Rapp would have been fifth on the grid had he been lapping in AMA Supersport's Free Practice (which occurred early in the day, and thus on a cold track), and thirteenth in AMA Supersport's Qualifying Practice 1 (which was later in the day, and in similar conditions as the e-Power/TTXGP session).

The Mission crew did bring the bike out for fans to see though, which gave us a chance to get up-close and personal with the machine with a camera in-hand. Electricity aside, the Mission R is one of the most attractive motorcycles we've seen in a while (even without its clothes on), and the fit &#038; finish on the bike is superb...now if only it actually ran. We can't wait to see how the Mission R fares on the track, especially with Steve Rapp on-board.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/mission-motors-mission-r-infineon/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>11</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>TTXGP: Brammo Sets Track Record at Infineon</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/ttxgp-brammo-sets-track-record-infineon/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/ttxgp-brammo-sets-track-record-infineon/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 15 May 2011 20:57:51 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brammo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brammo Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[electric]]></category> <category><![CDATA[electric racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kenyon Kluge]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Moto Electra]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Steve Atlas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Thad Wolff]]></category> <category><![CDATA[TTXGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[VOLT]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=21856</guid> <description><![CDATA[The California sun gods were in our favor this morning, as the rainy heavens over Infineon Raceway parted long enough to dry out the Sonoma track, and allow racing to commence under cloudy skies. After a thrilling ambulance race (Infineon Raceway had all its four-wheelers out drying the tarmac and racing line), Race Direction deemed the course fit for racing, and the slower-paced electrics were first on the card to try out the dryness of the track. Fielding three bikes for Race 2, Brammo put to rest any doubts about its efforts, as Steve Atlas set a track record for electric motorcycles on the Empulse RR, with a 1:55.150 race lap time.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/ttxgp-brammo-sets-track-record-infineon/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>15</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
