Silicone Detailer and Protectant Spray Specially Formulated for Powersports Equipment

New Bel-Ray Detailer Spray Provides Protective Coating; Restores Factory Finish;
Works on Multiple Surfaces; Reduces Maintenance/Clean-up Effort on Equipment

            FARMINGDALE, N.J. (December 5, 2012) Powersports enthusiasts can now attain a protective, shine-enhancing coating on various equipment surfaces with the new Bel-Ray Silicone Detailer and Protectant Spray.
            Safe to use on numerous surfaces ― plastic, fiberglass, chrome, metal, glass and rubber ― this spray, specially formulated for powersports, provides a water-resistant, protective film that enhances color and hides flaws, restoring that desired factory-finish look and sheen to machines. In addition, the durable coating will resist dirt and dust, making it easier and faster to keep equipment clean. Regular powersports cleaners can be used for easy wipe down, since the spray's unique finish thwarts dust and dirt from sticking to machines.
            Distinct from other silicone sprays, Bel-Ray Silicone Detailer and Protectant Spray can be used on rubber surfaces and will protect them from drying out, making it a must-have product for mechanics preparing bikes for storage.
          "Bel-Ray has long been recognized as a leader in the manufacture of premium quality, high-performance powersports lubricants," said Jennifer Liquori, Chief Operating Officer at Bel-Ray. "Now we can help powersports enthusiasts take care of their machines, both outside and inside, to get a shiny machine that performs better."
            For more information on Silicone Detailer and Protectant Spray or other Bel-Ray products for powersports, visit www.belray.com or call (732) 938-2421.

Jeff Ward Training Facility

Courtesy of Jeff Ward Training Facility

Perris, CA. – Jeff Ward has been in the motorsports industry since he moved to the United States at age three (3) and motocross has always been his highlight. Who better to start a motocross training school than Jeff. With his roots in motocross and having accrued 9 AMA Championships in Motocross, Supercross, and Supermoto, you can say he knows a lot to what goes into being a professional motocross racer. Not just on the track but off the track as well. The facility will be open to all skill levels, age, and gender of rider. 
 
“I am very excited to start up the training school. I have always trained a few racers on the side for fun, so I figured why not make it a full school,” said Jeff. “I am doing this with the help of my son, Brandon. We have had the idea to do this for quite a while and he has devoted countless hours working on the website and planning out the whole future of the company.”

Right now the Jeff Ward Training Facility, or JW Training Facility, is still in the beginning stage and currently holding daily training sessions at local Southern California tracks for $150 a session. They are planning to expand in the very near future and be able to accommodate a place to stay for a week long (to multiple weeks long) camp as well as have a line up of bikes available to ride for those farther away planning on coming out and staying without having to haul their bike.

“We are currently working on improving our facility,” said Brandon Ward. “We are making updates to the house and hopefully building a gym soon or possibly partnering with a current gym. Being at the location we are at, it is great for cycling, mountain biking, and pretty much any off-track training you can think of. There will be a lot of improvements and additions to the facility as we progress.”
Their next session is Tuesday December 11, 2012 at Milestone MX Park in Riverside, Ca. With Christmas right around the corner, it would make a great present!

You can always contact them to set up a future date that isn’t listed on the site. You can log on to their website at www.jwtrainingfacility.com or check them out on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. There will be updates on the site soon including a calendar that has upcoming training sessions as well as a few other additions to the packages. Visit the website for more info on what is all included with a training session. If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to email them at info@jwtrainingfacility.com.

Monster Energy Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross Returns With Two-Day Racing Format

Courtesy of MX Sports

Monster Energy Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross
Returns With Two-Day Racing Format
Morgantown, W.Va. - MX Sports is pleased to announce the return of the 4th Annual Monster Energy Ricky Carmichael Daytona Amateur Supercross Championship (RCSX) to the legendary Daytona International Speedway. This prestigious amateur race will take place Sunday, March 10 and Monday, March 11, following Saturday's Daytona Supercross by Honda.
This year will once again feature two full-days of racing, offering amateur racers even more track time and class options throughout the weekend. Highlighted changes for 2013 include the addition of the Masters (50+) class and the splitting of the 450 C and 250 C classes into two age-appropriate categories: (14-21) and (22+).
"MX Sports put great consideration into revising the classes for 2013 in order to provide greater opportunities for our participants," said Event Director Tim Cotter. "Based off the high participation numbers in the past, our team made the decision to split the 450 C and 250 C classes into two categories in order to give racers more time on the track and an even greater opportunity to make the main event."
Amateur racers once again have the unprecedented opportunity to compete on one of the most prestigious motorsports grounds in the world only one day after the pros. Perhaps the most enticing factor of this event is that 15-Time Champion Ricky Carmichael will be on site all weekend long to converse with amateur racers and their families while offering up tips and advice.
"I'm excited to be back at my racing home-Daytona International Speedway-for another year of RCSX," said 15-Time Champion, Ricky Carmichael. "This event has really grown into something special and it's cool to be a part of such a great opportunity for amateur racers. I'm looking forward to watching some great amateur racing at Daytona."
The class structure includes classes for youth riders on 50cc bikes all the way up to vet and senior classes. The race will follow a supercross format, using heat races and last chance qualifiers to seed the field of riders into a main event in each class, over the course of two days. Unlike the Loretta Lynn Ranch format, riders do not need to qualify at other races in order to participate in the Daytona event. Because of the supercross format, please note that class entries are limited in order to give participants the utmost time on the race track.
Amateur riders and their families are encouraged to come down early and camp on the Daytona infield, where hookups are available. Move in, sign up and camping begin on Friday, March 8, so amateur families can watch the pros compete on Saturday night in the Daytona Supercross. Amateur racing takes place on Sunday, March 10 and Monday, March 11.
For more information on the event, please visit www.racedaytona.com. To register for the 2013 RCSX, click HERE.

N-Fab, TiLUBE, and Yamaha Racing headline the two-rider, 450-class team set to contest the hyper-competitive Supercross and Motocross series’. Preparations are already underway as the team readies themselves for the kick off of the 17-round Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif. on January 5, 2013.

Chris Blose (Phoenix) and Phillip Nicoletti (Bethel, New York) will pilot the revolutionary Yamaha YZ450F inside stadiums and across the American countryside as they look to make their mark on the 2013 season.

Team Manager Allan Brown is admittedly energized by the new team and riders, “At 24 years of age, Chris Blose brings 42 main event starts and a good balance of youth and experience to the team,” said Brown. “This is my second year working with Chris and we are looking to continue our streak of main event appearances from last season. 23 year old Phillip Nicoletti showed tremendous potential in 2012, capping off the motocross season with a string of top 10 finishes in the 450 class. Both of these riders are capable of producing solid finishes week in and week out and I can’t wait to get the season started!”

N-Fab, producers of industry-leading off-road accessories, is also looking forward to a successful 2013 campaign, "We are very excited to be partnering with TiLUBE and Yamaha Racing for the 2013 Supercross and Motocross series’,” commented N-Fab founder Thomas Fichter. “The opportunities this partnership offers the N-Fab brand extend well beyond the track and we’re looking forward to debuting a complete new look and launching our latest race-ready N-Fab team on January 5!”
