The SouthEastern Mini Roadracing Association season opener was held on a beautiful weekend in central Florida at the European Rally School in Starke. The weather was perfect all weekend, and so was Palmer Kling. The Next Moto Champion, Cobra of Augusta, sponsored rider showed his determination early as he set pole position in all four of his classes, and then went out and won every one of them.
In the Formula 2 Class, Palmer got into the first turn in fourth place. He was content to let the field get settled and waited until the third lap to start making his move. Coming out of turn two he was able to capitalize on a mistake by the third place rider and quickly make the pass. In the next two laps Palmer picked off the other leaders one by one, and, by the end of the 4th lap, he took the lead. After that he put his head down and took the checkered flag with a comfortable margin.
In both the GP 85 and Kids Expert classes, Palmer got the hole shot and never looked back, winning each race by over half a lap.
In the Spec bike race, Palmer got into the first turn in 2nd place, and then quickly worked his way into the lead by the 2nd lap. After that he hit cruise control and built up a sizeable lead on the rest of the field.
Excited to be representing the Cobra Motorcycle factory again for 2010, Kling also wanted to show his other sponsors that they have made a good investment. Palmer is very proud to be representing Cobra of Augusta, Motul USA, Pit Bull Racing Products, Vortex Sprockets, Chicken Hawk Racing, Safer Moto, and Scorpion EXO for the 2010 season.
His next race will be March 21st at the Palmetto Super Track Summer Series, then round two of the SEMRA series in April. You can find more information at www.PalmerKling.com
