The Waznie Racing/Ciclo Werks BMC/ Dewildt Honda team arrived at ICAR in Mirabel Quebec for Round #1 of the Canadian National Championships and were rewarded with 30+ degree weather for the weekend.  For the first time, Szoke debuts his own Honda Race Team.   “I’ve put all my savings, my earnings, and mortgaged my house to do this,” Szoke said. “My expectations are high”.  Jordan and teh Fasr Company crew were not disappointed.

Szoke not only topped the charts throughout the entire weekend in testing, but also claimed the Pole Position award in Superbike aboard his new CBR1000RR. “I honestly think I could have beaten the lap record, if we had the same factors as last year.” says Szoke “The tires we are allotted to use are a harder compound, as opposed to the qualifying tires we used last season.  I couldn’t get heat into it and it spun up a couple of times.   The tire was off the warmer too early and cooled down a bit, which didn't help either.”

Not to be outdone, Szoke also took his CBR600RR fast enough around the 1.74 mile Circut ICAR to break the SportBike lap record during qualifying.  “My goal for the season is to go faster on my new Hondas at every track as opposed to last year.  We’re off to a good start.”

Szoke lead all 18 laps of the Superbike race aboard his CBR1000 RR and scored perfect points for the weekend.  Jordan is attempting to win his record seventh Canadian Superbike Crown, and fifth straight title.

In other action, Szoke also got his bid in for a fifth straight Pro Sportbike championship with another victory.  Jordan lead every lap in the eight lap race, which was shortened due to a red flag on lap nine.

“What a good start to the championships,  it sure means a lot to us as a team,” exclaims Szoke, “We’re all exhausted, the Fast Company crew put over 700 hrs in over 5 weeks and the bikes are 90% there.”  Famed tuner Scott Miller adds, “ It’s amazing to think that just 6 weeks ago they were street bikes, I can’t believe it.”

“Usually when you get to the track, you lose sleep.” laughs Szoke “This time it was just such a relief to be here, we were able to catch up on some shut eye.”

Jordan’s wife Amy Szoke also shook down her new infamous pink CBR600RR under the banner of Waznie Racing/Ciclo Werks BMC/Dewildt Honda at Circut ICAR in the AM600 and Women’s Cup Championships.  “It was my first time on a bike since September, and I wanted to brush the rust off.” says Amy “We had a new bike, a new track, a new team, and a new crew chief.  There was a lot of “new’s” in there, but I was really happy with what we were able to accomplish with set up.”  Amy finished 4th in Women’s Cup on Sunday and 18th in AM600.

“Considering we were just a handful of seconds off the pace here, I can hardly wait to get to Calgary to see where we end up.”  Round 2 & 3 of the championship is held at Race City AB.  The track is familiar to Amy, as she has competed there since 2006.  “I know the track well, and have had solid results there.  I have trained very hard with my husband throughout the winter, I can hardly wait to go out west to see where we can peg our new Honda on the AM grid.” 

It was a perfect weekend for Szoke and his Fast Company crew.  Watch for Szoke defending his points lead at Round #2/3 of the Canadian National Championships in Calgary AB Canada on June 24 - 27.
