“We had a bit of an up and down season. We started strong
with a win at the DAYTONA II but weren’t able to carry that
momentum into the rest of the season. The whole Zanotti
team kept pushing, we had some decent finishes, but I feel
we never showed our full potential. I’m really looking
forward to 2017 and making a strong run towards the
Championship.”

“The 2016 season was very long, but exciting. I had my work
cut out running my own team, racing my own motorcycles
and traveling across the country in a van competing against
the best in the business. We had a couple of podium
finishes, but we also had quite a few mechanical issues and
bad luck throughout the year. The goal for next season is to
tighten up on those mistakes and contend for podiums and
wins on a more consistent basis.”

Briar Bauman – No. 14
Weirbach Racing Kawasaki Ninja 650
“It was a difficult season but we made it through. Had some
highs and some lows. Really looking forward to 2017.”
