Willis Racing Dominates at 1st Annual Mr. B's Soul Brothers Race

Willis Racings' Janie Palm and Charles Willis traveled from St. Louis to Kansas City over the Father's Day weekend to race in the 1st Annual Mr. B's Soul Brothers Race at Kansas City International Raceway. Dominating the bike classes, Janie Palm took home two first place trophies and Charles Willis grabs a second and third place.

Janie claimed victory on her 2000 Kawasaki ZX6R in the in the Bike Trophy Bracket class by defeating her competition, Nelson Taylor III riding a Kawasaki ZX9R, another St. Louis racer. Janie with a 10.87 dial to Nelson's 10.45 dial, cut the tree down with a .520 light and Nelson took chase but couldn't catch her at the line.

Janie then went on to race Charles Willis on his 2002 Suzuki Hayabusa in the Bike Bracket class final. Janie dialed a 10.87 to Charles' 9.55 dial, again Janie cut the tree down with a .519 light to Charles's .593 light. Charles just couldn't catch her at the line, giving Janie the victory. "I was thrilled to have the opportunity to race against some of my fellow St. Louis racers" Palm said. "I was excited to race Charles in the final, we were representing St. Louis and it brought my competition win/loss record for the season up to 1 and 1 against him." Charles had taken a win from Janie at their home track in St. Louis a few weeks back and Janie was hungry for a victory over him.

Charles also claimed a third place finish in the 9.20 Heads Up Bike class with his Gatlin Racing built, 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa. "We finally had a weekend of good weather in Missouri and had a great day of racing" Willis said. "The resurfaced track is a great improvement and we look forward to racing here again in the future."

Willis Racing would like to thank their sponsors for all the support throughout the racing season!
