Virginia Tech Bolt To Contest EMotoRacing Finale at Daytona
eMotoRacing has announced that the Virginia Tech Bolt electric motorcycle road racing team will contest the Woodcraft Technologies eMotoRacing season finale at Daytona International Speedway on October 16-17. CR Gittere, of Stanley, North Carolina, will pilot the Virginia Tech Bolt 3. Gittere has raced at the Isle of Man TT and has had success in AMA pro racing as well.
For those not familiar with eMotoRacing, the electric road racing series runs in conjunction with AHRMA and visits some of the finest racetracks in America. The upcoming round at Daytona caps off the Fall Cycle Scene activities at the track during the area’s annual Biketoberfest bike week.
Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
