Once again, all of us at Morton's are proud to be associated with Nate Kern and his racing efforts. On May 3-4, Nate brought the only BMWs in the field to Summit Point, West Virginia, to challenge riders in a variety of classes. With four wins over the weekend -- Thunderbike, 750 SuperSport, 750 Superbike, and 600 Grand Prix -- you might say it was a successful weekend.

Following are some pictures from Sunday's activities.

In one of the early races on Sunday, Nate flies through turn ten on the HP2 Sport, all by himself.

If you look closely, you'll notice the HP2 Sport's front wheel is a bit sideways after hitting a bad ripple in the pavement at full throttle.

In one of the best races of the weekend, Brian Stoles on the green Kawasaki ZX-600RR gets the slightest of jumps on our hero at the start.

Stokes leads Nate down the main straight...

Next time around, Nate returns the favor. They would battle this way the whole race.

Here, Nate closes the gap in turn ten. Stokes went on to win the close race in 600 SuperSport.

Immediately after leaving the track, Nate talks to Stuart Beatson, Morton's BMW service manager.

In between races, Nate and Stuart discuss the setup of the HP2 Sport.

In his paddock, Nate talks to members of BMWBMW, who always come out to lend support.

After the racing is done, it's time for tire warmers and a cold drink.

A great weekend of racing brings a smile to Nate's face -- good job!
