very pleased that Randakk's Cycle Shakk has renewed
the partnership with ace roadracer Dennis Parrish of Rio Rancho,
NM as my competition partner for 2010.

Bio:
Dennis
is a 55 year-old grandfather who's been indulging in his passion
for motorcycles for over 40 years. He started racing in 1974 and
has competed in flat track, motocross, desert racing, roadracing
and even ice racing! In 1975 he worked as a motorcycle mechanic
for Honda and Kawasaki dealerships in the Pacific Northwest for
10 years before joining the military and is now an engineer for
a leading computer chip firm.
Dennis
started roadracing a vintage '74 Kawasaki Z1 in 2002 and won his
local club's Historic Vintage class championship. He started racing
nationally with AHRMA in 2003, winning back-to-back Vintage Superbike
class championships in 2003 and 2004 along with local and regional
class championships. He has finished in the top four nationally
for AHRMA Vintage Superbike and Formula Vintage classes most years.

For
2010 Dennis will be competing in AHRMA's Vintage Superbike and
Formula Vintage classes on his '81 DOHC four cylinder Hondas.
He's also competing in regional and local series on his '74 Kawasaki
Z1 in Historic Vintage and Super Vintage classes. If you're looking
for Dennis in the pits, don't look for the small fast guy - look
for the 6'3" guy in a Randakk's Cycle Shakk T-Shirt!

2010
Race Effort also includes Kawasaki Z1 Racebike!
Note
from Randakk - I'm sure many of you may be freaking out now
that I'm sponsoring a Kawasaki since I'm known as a Honda guru.
Actually, the Z1 is one of my favorite bikes. I'm sure that it
will be much faster now that it's equipped with Randakk's
Amazing Grips!
Additional
Note from Randakk - In spite of the rogue Kawasaki, Dennis
is "one of us." Here's a picture of his CBX which he
purchased new:

Support for the 2009 Race Effort
We
are very grateful for the invaluable additional support provided
by the excellent folks below. Please contact
me if you would also like to assist our campaign with
race-worthy products or services.
2008
Race Effort:
Bummer!
Tom crashed twice during practice in Australia and was unable
to get the bike sufficiently repaired to make the grid in any
of the heats. That's racing!
Fortunately, Tom's injuries were minor. Hopefully, Tom will
have better luck in his next event.
Full
race report here
Randakk's
is pleased to announce associate sponsor relationship with Team
Eyeball Engineering Race Team for '08 Australia Assault
Team
Eyeball Engineering is the race team of Dr. Thomas Marquardt of
Granby, Colorado. "Dr.
Tom" is well know in vintage Honda circles. He has campaigned
CBXs and other vintage Hondas with distinction in numerous road
racing series.

"Dr.
Tom" and the CBX racebike he will campaign in Australia
Dr.
Tom has been invited to participate in a prestigious vintage road
race series in Australia in January, 2008. Tom will represent
AHRMA in the International Challenge
for Vintage Superbikes.
This
series is hotly contested. I'm certain that the addition of Randakk's
Cycle Shakk decals will cause a quantam leap in performance! Seriously,
this machine is a very nice piece and Tom is an accomplished pilot.
With decent luck, he should do quite well.
These
races will be held on the infamous Phillip Island Grand
Prix Circuit. Tom will be putting together a recap article
in an upcoming issue of the CBX Xpress Magazine.
I plan to document his exploits here as well.
The
Island Classic runs January 26 - 28, 2008 and celebrates
a grand tradition of historic motorcycle racing. This is the fifteenth
annual running of the event. Randakk's
is pleased to provide assistance for this effort and wishes Dr.
Tom great success in Australia! Stay tuned for results.

"Dr.
Tom" at speed in previous action!
