| Ransomville, NY-- NPS Racings James Rispoli making his AMA Pro SuperSport debut did the seemingly impossible. With only his crew chief and helper the team faced several challenges all weekend long and still managed to take a fourth place finish overall. With rule specifications that appeared different from the beginning of the season, the team had to scramble to make changes to forks and refit the bike with a stock / legal ECU. The changes throughout the weekend were not easy and the team worked hard with lots of support to get the job done. There were many firsts on this trip. It was the first time the team and rider participated in AMA Pro SuperSport competition, the first time the bike was set up on Dunlop tires and the first time James rode on Dunlop tires as well.
