Dominican Republic

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 !!

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.

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.

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 !

4 Stroke Intake Porting Seminar !!

MotoMan's 8 Phase Engine Theory
Explained in Spanish & English

Mototune USA held a Bilingual Power News Seminar above the
Moto Butler shop in Santo Domingo. There were about 30 racers and street riders in attendance, including the Latin American Superbike Champion, Aris Azcona !

The main topic was the latest Power News Newsletter: "How a Four Stroke Actually Works... and MotoMan's 8 Phase Engine Theory", which describes the workings of a high speed motorcycle engine much better.

Next, we had a discussion of the radical new Intake Porting techniques I use to gain 8 - 10 HP on 600's and 15 HP on 1000+ cc engines. I will be revealing the specifications of this porting technique in the upcoming issues of Power News !
