OMRRA Round 1, Portland International Raceway, April 21-22, 2012
Kelowna BC’s Marcel Irnie journeyed to Portland, Oregon to participate in another West Coast race as he prepares for the 2012 Canadian Superbike Championships. The tough competition and early season start are vital to Irnie’s efforts to ready himself for what will be the toughest season of his career. For this round, Irnie brought both his trusty Dave Alexander-prepared 2005 Kawasaki zx6rr and his awe-inspiring 2012 AMSOIL Bentley Motorrad BMW S1000RR.
WMRRA Round 1, Pacific Raceways, Mar. 30-Apr. 1, 2012
Marcel Irnie’s race program held many changes for 2012 and the Kelowna BC native hopes that this will be a watershed season for his racing career. The first major change was the acquisition of a 2012 BMW S1000RR. As Irnie has battled with under-powered, dated machinery throughout his career, having a motorcycle that possess elite horsepower and handling would be a welcome change. Irnie will race the "AMSOIL T1000 Uber-bike" in the complete Canadian Superbike Championship, starting in June.
Irnie kicked off what will be a long campaign at the Washington Motorcycle Road Racing Association’s opening round at Pacific Raceways. Despite weather forecasts of perpetual rain, Irnie was anxious to get race hours in and use this opportunity to put the BMW through its paces.
Marcel Irnie has a new agenda for 2012. The Kelowna BC native welcomes a new teammate, a new motorcycle, a full-time Canadian crew chief and exciting new sponsors to assist the team with their challenging privateer program – The MOPAR Canadian Superbike Championship!
There’s no question that motor racing on any level is a very expensive endeavor. When you reach the upper echelons like superbike racer Marcel Irnie, putting together a budget for a full racing season is a daunting task. For 2012, Marcel is planning to race the Pro class of the Canadian Superbike Championship, as well as a few rounds of the US AMA Pro Superbike series. Racing at this level will require a lot of sacrifice and most importantly sponsorship.
Irnie has entered a video in a sponsorship contest being held by Champion Spark Plug. Racers of virtually every motor racing discipline can submit a video and have the chance to win the grand prize of a $50000 sponsorship package or one of five $10000 consolation sponsorship packages. If you can take the time, please view Marcel’s video and then create a log-in and vote.

We have been working with Marcel for several years now and certainly recognize the hard work he has put in. He produces popular race videos and works hard to promote his sponsors. He would certainly be a worthy winner of this contest, were he lucky enough to be chosen. He is on the verge of a break-out season in the pro ranks, so this assistance would be helpful.

OMRRA Round 7, October 8-9, 2011, Portland International Raceway, Portland OR.
The 2011 season for Irnie Racing was one wrought with ups, downs and everything in between. For most of the season Marcel Irnie played “catch-up”, trying to stay with the competition on woefully underpowered motorcycles. Irnie achieved several hard-earned top five finishes on machinery that had no business being up front. The highlight of the season was most certainly the two first pro victories of his career. With a tough season almost in the books, Irnie looked to close out the season in Portland with a good result and get on with the business of reloading for 2012.
As the 2011 race season draws to a close, Marcel Irnie and Aaron Holmberg of Irnie Racing looked to finish the final round of WMRRA season on an upbeat note. This year had been turbulent for Irnie as he had been battling nagging injuries early on and unreliable machinery for much of the year. Irnie and Holmberg would be sharing Aaron’s stock Suzuki GSXR 750 tuned by Nel's from 2wheeldynoworks. Irnie also picked up a 2003 Yamaha R6 from sponsor Redline Motorsport of Tacoma. Irnie would use this bike as a backup and try his hand in the TFS class.

WMRRA Round 7, Pacific Raceway, September 10-11, 2011
Marcel Irnie’s 2011 race season has been tumultuous to say the least. He has had the highs of his first professional victory and the lows of many mechanical gremlins. There has been much uncertainty regarding equipment and where his future lies in the sport. Over the course of this season, Irnie has raced on no less than five different motorcycles; with only one of them being fully competitive. The uncertainty followed Irnie to Washington State as he opted to take part in this round using teammate Aaron Holmberg’s Suzuki GSXR 750 for the weekend.

OMMRA Round 4, Portland International Raceway, July 16-17, 2011 In the week preceding Round 4 of the Oregon Motorcycle Road Racing Association (OMRRA) series at Portland, Marcel Irnie had no intention of even attending the event. The motor in his 2005 zx6rr was blown and his chronically under-powered 2008 zx6 was going up for sale. Marcel was looking forward to dirtbiking after the recent rain storm in Kelowna BC. When he finished editing his video from OMMRA round 3 (Trail Blazers), he sent it over to David at Redline Motorsports. When David heard that Marcel would not be making the trip out to Oregon for round 4, he made an offer that soon turned into an exciting opportunity for Irnie. Redline had a 2008 CBR1000RR available and offered it to Marcel for the weekend. Irnie had never ridden a 1000cc Superbike, not to mention a Honda, but he was anxious to take Redline up on the offer. His 600cc machines were not only uncompetitive; they were also becoming increasingly unreliable. This would be Irnie’s chance to prove himself on competitive machinery.

David Slater and Marcel Irnie celebrate winning Formula Ultra at Portland International Raceway July 17, 2011. This was Irnie's first experience riding a 1000cc superbike, not to mention a Honda. With only one practice session in the wet, Marcel put down the fastest lap time... 1:23.005. Irnie continued the fast trend with the fastest lap in the race, a 1.19.105 on the IrnieRacing Superbike. On the Friday trackday, Irnie put down a 1.08.200 in the dry after only three 15-minute practice sessions. All with used takeoff tires ofcourse. :) This is Marcel Irnie's first Pro win.
Check out on-track photos by Ryan Phillips below. (click Read More...)
As per usual, Marcel filmed all the action with his trusty GoPro HD cameras. See Full press release and Irnie's HD video documentary, "Pacific Wonderland."

OMMRA Round 2, Portland International Raceway, May 21-22, 2011
After taking a month off to heal a broken hand, Marcel Irnie would return to racing at round 2 of the Oregon Motorcycle Road Racing Association (OMRRA) series. Marcel traveled to Washington and met teammate Aaron Holmberg at Nel’s Dyno Tuning on Wednesday night prior to the race weekend. They would attempt to extract more horsepower out of Marcel’s notoriously anemic 2008 Kawasaki zx-6r. Nels installed a PC5 fuel injection module, and was able to richen the engine’s air/fuel ratio to bring the bike from 103 horsepower to 110 horsepower at the rear wheel. As many of his competitors’ newer 600 cc bikes would be generating upwards of 125 horsepower, this was an improvement but still far from competitive. Nels noted that the bike seemed to be overheating on the dyno. Not much was made of this observation at the time, but as the weekend unfolded, this problem would prove be a major headache. As Marcel’s (more competitive) Fuzimoto/ Falco/ Redline Motoparts 2005 zx-6rr was still down with transmission woes, he would have to keep flogging his 2008 machine and also race in the 750 class on Aaron’s Impact Canopy/ Oneononedesign/ KFG Racing 2007 Suzuki GSXR.
Wmrra Round Two- Pacific Raceways, Kent, WA April 30-May 1, 2011
With Marcel Irnie recovering from a hand injury sustained at the first race of the season, teammate Aaron Holmberg would carry the IrnieRacing banner for round two. Irnie traveled to Washington to man the pits for Aaron and chronicle the weekend with video and pictures.
WMMRA Rd 1, Pacific Raceways, Kent WA, April 2-3 2011
After a long winter sabbatical, Irnie Racing got back to competition at round one of the Washington Motorcycle Road Racing (WMRRA) series at Pacific Raceways. This past winter was a busy one for Irnie Racing as Marcel worked hard to secure partnerships with sponsors and refurbish his racebikes. A big change for the 2011 season is the introduction of a teammate for Marcel with Aaron Holmberg of Pacific Washington coming aboard. Aaron brings a Suzuki GSXR 750 to the team.
