The BLUE Buffalo / Slater Skins / Yamaha Race Team proudly announces the addition of Larry Brooks as 2016 Race Team Manager.

Born close to the epicenter of American motorcycle racing industry in Southern California, Larry began riding and racing at a very young age. His inherent competitive nature had him winning races and championships while still in the amatuer phases of his career. That quickly translated into a successful racing career when he turned professional in 1985 winning three “125 Supercross Main Events” in his Rookie Year, then claiming the “Under 21 World Champion” title in his first full year as a pro. Larry earned “Rookie of the Year” honors the year following. He then continued on to claim several wins, championships, and “Top Privateer” rider titles over the course of nearly a decade. His success as a rider and desire to win eventually transferred, as he became one of the youngest and most successful team managers in the sport. Larry has been fortunate to work with some of the most talented and decorated racers in the history of Supercross and Motocross.
Larry Brooks.
“I’m excited to get back to the races and begin helping to build the BLUE Buffalo/Slater Skins program into a top tier race team and I really think we’re going to surprise people with our results with a young, talented group of riders.” – Larry Brooks (BLUE Buffalo Race Team Manager)
“We are very excited to have the leadership and experience that Larry Brooks brings to our Blue Buffalo Racing Team. With the great marketing success we had in our first year of racing, this year should be even better. The Team has a group of guys that have a real passion for winning and we look forward to a very successful year.” – Dave Petrie (President / BLUE Buffalo Foundation for Cancer Research)

“We have a long history of working with Larry here at Yamaha. He helped guide two different Yamaha supported teams to a total of five Supercross Championships, and will surely be a huge asset to this young, developing team. No doubt the learning curve will steepen quickly by the time the 250 Eastern Region Supercross season gets going!” – Mike Guerra (Racing Department Manager / Yamaha, USA)

“We are very excited to have Larry Brooks join our race team. Larry brings his knowledge of Five Supercross Championships managing riders like McGrath, Stewart, and Reed all on Yamaha and a 125 Outdoor National Championship with Grant Langston. Larry’s no nonsense approach is exactly what we need to take our team to a higher level.” – John Slater (BLUE Buffalo / Slater Skins Race Team Owner)

“Larry Brooks’ relentlessness is the purity in all of us who do this with a life’s passion. He’ll be vital to our program’s growth in 2016 and beyond.” – Tyler King (BLUE Buffalo / Slater Skins Marketing Director)

HILLSDALE, Mich – For 25 years now the American made Cobra competition mini cycles have been tearing it up at the Thor Winter Olympics, aka the Mini Os, at the legendary Gatorback MX Park in Gainesville, Florida, capturing an unprecedented amount of titles, podiums and awards at the longstanding Thanksgiving week event.

And once again Cobra Moto is providing its racers – from the team kids to all the up-and-comers racing Cobra Moto bikes – a professional level of factory support that legions of racers and their dads (and moms) have come to know as the industry standard as we approach three decades of Cobra Moto racing at the Mini Os!

“Along with Bel Ray, Dunlop, CARD, Haas, Liquid Performance, SKF and Pro Circuit, Cobra Moto congratulates all its racers on a great season and wishes everyone the best of luck this week at the Mini Os,” said Cobra Moto President Sean Hilbert. “Please make sure you stop by the Cobra Moto hauler and let us know how you’re doing and, more importantly, if there’s anything we can do for you.”

Action at the Mini Os gets underway today with supercross practice and qualifying. Stay tuned to Cobra Moto’s Facebook page for updates from Gainesville throughout the week.

Area Qualifier, Regional Dates Announced for Loretta's

Courtesy of MX Sports

MORGANTOWN, W.Va - MX Sports, producer of the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship, presented by AMSOIL, is pleased to announce the 2016 Area Qualifier and Regional Championship schedule.

The qualifying program takes place in 33 states throughout the country, starting with the 54 Area Qualifiers that begin in February and run through the end of May. The 13 Regional Championships will run in eight major geographical regions throughout the United States, taking place in late May and through the month of June.

"Together with the AMA we have assembled an Area Qualifier and Regional Championship schedule that will minimize the travel time for our rider base. It has been the goal to provide Area Qualifier opportunities within 150 miles from every rider, and in most cases we were able to accomplish this goal," said Tim Cotter, Director of MX Sports. "The Area Qualifier and Regional Championship organizers are the backbone of the Amateur National, and we continue to see improvements in both the facilities and organizational skills of the promoters that participate in the program."

The Area Qualifiers serve as the first step in qualifying for the world's largest and most prestigious amateur motocross championship. The Regional Championships then serve as the next step to seed riders into the National Championship. Only riders who finish in a qualifying position at a Regional Championship are eligible to race the National the week of August 1-6.

"With so many outstanding race tracks and AMA motocross organizers to choose from, you would think the selection process for the Area Qualifier and Regional Championship schedule would be an easy task, but I can assure you it is not," said AMA Motocross Manager Kip Bigelow. "All that work pays off, however, because the racers are treated to exceptional tracks and facilities in great locations all across America. With the schedule now complete, the AMA and our promoting partner, MX Sports, can move our focus on working with the organizers to provide the best race experience possible at each of these events."

This year's lineup once again includes the many National-caliber tracks that have become such an integral part of the Road to Loretta's. From the historic Unadilla MX and High Point Raceway in the Northeast, to Washougal in the Northwest. The tour will also return to many other favorites such as the Southeast's Muddy Creek Raceway, RedBud MX in the Mid-East and Thunder Valley MX Park in the South Central region.

Brand new additions to the 2016 Regional Championship schedule include Texas' Oak Hill Raceway in the South Central region and Wisconsin's Motozone in the North Central region. Both tracks have played an integral part of the National program for years serving as Area Qualifiers, but will now host the youth regionals for their respective region.

"We here at Oak Hill Raceway are extremely excited to be hosting this year's South Central Youth Regional," said Oak Hill Raceway owner Jeff Oldenburg. "We have been hosting Area Qualifiers off and on for almost 20 years, and have been participating at Loretta Lynn's Ranch since 1982.  We promise to give the riders the best event possible."

The 2016 Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship will take
place Monday, August 1 through Saturday, August 6 at Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.

Third Annual Military Appreciation Race Returns to San Diego's Petco Park for 2016 Monster Energy Supercross Season

Sixth Race of Championship Will Support USO San Diego

ELENTON, Fla.(November 11, 2015) - On a day in which America honors the service and sacrifice made by the men and women of the United States Military, Feld Motor Sports® announced today that Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship's second visit to San Diego's Petco Park during the 2016 season will also mark the third annual Military Appreciation Race on February 13. The world's premier off-road motorcycle racing series will continue its commitment to supporting members of the Unites States Armed Forces by partnering with United Service Organizations (USO) San Diego, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving active-duty, reserve, guard and military families throughout California's southernmost county.   **Members of the military can receive $10 off on tickets by using the code SDUSO (additional fees may apply). Additionally, all military members will receive free access to the Party in the Pits with valid identification (limit one entry per ID). **   Petco Park will once again host the Military Appreciation Race on February 13. Photo: Simon Cudby The entire 2016 Monster Energy Supercross Championship will be broadcast live on the American Forces Network (AFN). The Department of Defense operates the American Forces Network or AFN. AFN, a worldwide radio and television broadcast network reaches a half million American active duty, uniformed service personnel and their families overseas, stationed on U.S. military bases, at U.S. embassies and US consulates in 175 countries, as well as 140 U.S. Navy ships at sea.  AFN is a service of the American Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS), a field office of the Defense Media Activity (DMA).   In two years the Military Appreciation Race has emerged as one of the most anticipated races on the entire Monster Energy Supercross schedule, recognized throughout the racing industry with military inspired riding gear and motorcycle graphics. The entire supercross racing community has paid its respects to the men and women who serve our country, and as a result over $82,000 has been raised in support of San Diego's military community through donations and auctions featuring race-worn gear from the Military Appreciation Race.   To commemorate the new partnership with USO San Diego, Feld Motor Sports will donate $5,000 to the non-profit. Additionally, the hugely popular rider auction will continue for a third year, featuring exclusive one-of-a-kind gear worn by the stars of the sport at this special race, including Eli Tomac, whose brother Greg is an officer in the U.S. Air Force, last year's winner Trey Canard, reigning Monster Energy Supercross Champion Ryan Dungey, Ken Roczen, James Stewart and more. Trey Canard is the defending Military Appreciation Race winner. Photo: Simon Cudby   "USO San Diego is honored to be the beneficiary of the 2016 Monster Energy Supercross Military Appreciation Race and its supportive Monster Energy Supercross community," said Arne Nelson, USO San Diego Chief Executive Officer. "The funds raised will provide much-needed support for our free programs and services offered to the region's Active Duty, Reserve, Guard and their families. See you there!"   The USO has provided much needed service to members of the military and their families for nearly 75 years, with more than 160 locations around the world. USO San Diego aims to enhance the quality of life for military service members and their families by establishing cooperative relationships between the military community and supportive civilian community. USO San Diego is a premier USO Charter Center providing morale and support services, in addition to a home away from home for all members of the U.S. Armed Forces. In 2014, USO's services reached the military community over 260,000 times with the San Diego Downtown Center and San Diego's Neil Ash Airport Center assisting over 154,000 service members.   "The Military Appreciation Race has become an integral part of Monster Energy Supercross in just two years. San Diego has long been one of the most anticipated stops of the championship and with Petco Park sitting the heart of downtown's picturesque bayfront there couldn't be a better setting to celebrate our service men and women," said Dave Prater, Director of Supercross. "We are very excited to have a new, highly renowned partner in the USO. They are one of the most recognized names in military non-profits and we look forward to supporting their efforts with the close-knit supercross community."   Home to Major League Baseball's San Diego Padres, Petco Park hosted its inaugural Monster Energy Supercross race last year with Team Honda HRC's Trey Canard taking the historic win. The Military Appreciation Race will be the second of two visits to the venue, as San Diego will hold a pair of championship races for the first time in the 32 years that it has been a part of the schedule. The San Diego area is home to several military installations, which makes this stop of Monster Energy Supercross a perfect fit to honor to the men and women that have served the country. The military-inspired gear worn by the world's best riders will be put up for auction following the Military Appreciation Race.
