Dear Friends,
I want to report the results of this last weekend race in Homestead Florida where the 6th race of the Championship Cup Series took place.
Vito Candela on a TM 660 SMX / TMracing.com - Hudlett Racing won three consecutive races in three different categories.
1st race GP Light:
from the start Candela was in the zone. Mortimer at the end of the race thought he had won, but when he realized Candela had given him 15 seconds, came to Candela's pit to congratulate the TM rider for the unstoppable rhythm. Keep in mind that Ducati 1000 and Bimota 1000 where beaten, again, in this race.

2nd race GT Light:
the race started under heavy rain, which is Candela's favorite condition. There was no story for the rest of the field, if he had one more lap, Candela would have passed also the First Place of the Expert Category after passing 20 riders during the race. It was memorable, many competitors and spectators came to Candela's pit to congratulate him on the "unbealivable" rhythm and speed in the heavy rain, Tony Diaz's words were: "Vito you made it look so easy...", Kevin Mendez: last year champion: "you were flying, one more lap and you would have caught me..." Realistically credit goes also to the TM 660 SMX with the engine that just arrived from Italy, after that Moreno (factory mechanic) rebuilt it for this race and that Jeff Hudlett worked until 2 AM to have it ready for the race on Sunday.

race 3 Amateur Lightweight F40.
Again Candela was in a race on it's own. Only Mendez from the Expert category was able not to get beaten. Candela finished 1st also this race and at the Award Ceremony was applauded by all his fellow competitors, this was a memorable weekend for both Candela and TM racing. A special thanks goes to Motocorse of Miami / Chris Boy and his technicians Larry and Fernandito helped Vito with all the tec. issues since Jeff Hudlett could not be on the track this weekend, without them it would have not happened.

Vito Candela, wants to thank, Stefano Serafini, Gastone Serafini, Davide Trebbi and all the staff at TM Italy for the incredible support, without this combined effort, with 6.000 miles between us, it would have not been possible but also and especially the Lord for protecting me during such a crazy weather weekend.
