MCKEE WINS 60+ CBR 2010 BAR SERIES

By John McKee


The CBR BAR series ended with their last race on Sept. 12th. Early leader Rich Stahlberg missed a race because of a crash at the Dana Point Grand Prix and his form didn't quite return when he did race again. I raced all the events and placed from 1st to 4th. Monty Pettus won every race he did(5) but also had crash problems missing 4 events. William Carvin placed 3rd overall  having done all but one event which he was at but late and didn't do the 55/60+ race. Consistency won out here.
