Brocks Performance breaking into WERA!!
Brocks teams up with Hooters and rider Tim Hunt wins the WERA National opener on their GSXR1000!! Fitted with Titanium CT exhaust and BST carbon fiber wheels seemed to help pull for the win!! Awesome riding Tim! Brocks Performance will definitely be growing at an exponential rate now that they're breaking into other forms of motorcycle racing!!! LOVE IT~!!

It will be interesting to see if Brocks ditches the whole drag racing scene if his exhaust takes off in road racing.

It was the other way around for Rob Muzzy. He ran the Honda and then the Kawasaki RR teams first. Brock would need Hindle to help him with funds for a RR program. Neither
is just real easy to be a front runner in. R&D $$$ learning how to set a bike for each track
Brock would be on a learning curve for a season or two. His $$$ is in Drag racing and have Hindle build what ever pipe he makes. Brock needs his own benders and build his own pipes "in house". D&D started out with one hand bender on old S.O.H.C 750 Honda's
back in the day.. :-)

I'm sure Brock will stick with his roots in drag racing -- he's got some records to uphold there. But I do know that early last year he hired on a design engineer that's been involved with WERA for many many years ( I should know, that's the guy I bought my 14 from!! ) and has helped Brock with the roadracing exhaust development.........it's nothing but bigger and better things now! Rumor has it that there's talk of R&D work with motocross/supercross designs as well.........so don't be surprised if you see dirtmachines with a big ass Brocks exhaust sticking out the back in the future!!

Doesn't look like Brocks is getting out of drag racing anytime soon ...

The CT is definitely made in Japan. Very nice pipe, the best weld quality I've seen in a 14 pipe (next to the Tiwinder, which is equally as good).

Graves Yamaha is stepping up their WERA support too. Great to see these enterprises supporting racing
