Hi Mototune USA Fans !!
I just got back from a
Wild World of Roadracing
trip to the Dominican
Republic !
|

I'd like to thank my
friend Marcos Peguero for inviting me to stay with him & his family !
Marcos is working with Mototune
USA ... and he was an excellent tour guide, Spanish translator and
host. |

The Dominican Republic
is an amazing country! Look at these photos of the roadracing action, scenes
from around the country, as well as information about the first Power
News engine tuning seminar that Marcos
and I gave in Santo Domingo !
This is a big page, so give it some time to load, & enjoy the pix !!

November 4, 2001
Racers from 13 countries came to challenge Dominican Republic's Aris Azcona for the
Latin American Superbike Championship !! The local hero met the challenge
by winning Sunday's superbike race by over 10 seconds. Cuba's Nirio Rivero
took the 2nd spot, while Dominican Republic's Nino Alegria took 3rd on his
Quaker State Oils Sponsored Suzuki GSXR 750. |
Wow !! I was really surprised to see
Roadracers from Cuba !!

Old Town Santo Domingo
Rich in history from it's colonial
past, Santo Domingo boasts some of the oldest buildings in the New World. Much
of Christopher Columbus' Spanish heritage remains in the language, architecture
and culture of Dominican Republic.

He first landed here in Dominican Republic when he
discovered the Americas. |

Venezuela's Jose
Berresi Wins 600 Supersport !!
After qualifying .009 of a second
off of Nino Alegria's pole setting time, Jose Berresi found some extra speed and
eventually dominated Sunday's 600 supersport event ! Unfortunately, Miami
Florida's John Costa ended his race early with a crash caused by an oil leak on
his Ducati. There was a massive cloud of oil smoke, and then 3 turns later he
went down. Costa was unhurt in the incident.

Exotic Dominican Republic !!
The extreme contrasts of colonial and modern times
make this country especially fascinating. For example, the view from the 16th
century castle
photo showing the modern roads and infrastructure of Santa Domingo. It was fun to imagine
what it was like when Christopher Columbus lived here !
