Framecrafters Racing

2010 made for some great racing and race results for Karsten Illg and Team Framecrafters. A first time win at the famous Daytona International Speedway, 2 wins at the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Festival, a new motard race bike and 4 wins at the 6th annual Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival were just a few of our 2010 highlights.

The 2009 race season had us eagerly awaiting a better 2010 and better it was. Team FC finished 2nd in the AHRMA Formula 500 National Road Race Championship for the 5th consecutive year. Team FC also finished 3rd in the Motard class and 5th in the BOT Open 2-stroke class nationally. In addition to our national wins, Team FC won several regional titles.

Team FC thanks all of its sponsors and supporters for their help this past 2010 season. With plans of developing a new Formula 450 singles race bike, continuing our quest for a national championship win in Formula 500, and ever so closer to finishing our Formula 750 race bike, we are looking forward to another year of racing and working with everyone again next season in 2011.
