HOT Houston Race Recap

Courtesy of h.o.t.

There was a great turnout of fans at this weeks venue, Reliant Stadium, and the track conditions and layout would inevitably lead to some great racing.

Heat 1:
When the gate dropped for Heat #1, Honda of Troy was at the front of the pack racing for positions. Sean Lipanovich pulled one of his patented great starts (2nd) and settled into 4th at the end of lap one, while Levi Kilbarger followed suit and was battling for a top 6 position himself. On lap 2, Kilbarger had a miscue in the long table top rhythm section that sent the #412 tumbling. This put him out of the race and into the LCQ. #505 Lipanovich put together a great ride constantly under pressure which netted him some great television coverage and made his transfer directly into the main with a 7th.

Heat 2:
The Houston dirt provided great traction and this allowed the Eleven 10 Mods horsepower to shine. When Willard looked to his left he found Pourcel and when he looked to his right he found Sipes- two of the quickest qualifiers of the timed practice- and when the gate dropped the #92 rocketed out to the front of the pack. Willard nabbed the holeshot and established the lead. Willard put up a great fight with Poucel but gave up the lead on lap 2. Michael was under heavy fire for the entire heat but put in a valiant effort and qualified a solid 5th.

The LCQ start was no different - #412 Kilbarger took the lead from the pack and began to pull away just a bit. Levi held on to the #1 spot for 3 ¾ laps when a slight mistake and a wide line left the door open for Kyle Cunningham. On the next turn, 30 yards from the finish line, Tevin Tapia tried a kamikaze maneuver that would claim himself and Kilbarger, taking them both out of the race and allowing Troy Adams a spot in the Main.

Main Event:
The Guys starts in the main left a little to be desired and they were going to have their work cut out for them. Lipanovich was about midpack, 12th or so and Willard was bringing up the rear in 20th. The main wore on and the competition was fierce. Willard was able to work his way forward trying the entire moto to catch Troy Adams, who is a few points in front of him in the overall points. Lipanovich encountered a few minor issues that stifled his progress. Willard finished an eventual 12th and Lipanovich held on to the 18th spot in the main.

Overall for the season Willard sits 6 points outside of the top 10 in 11th. That is his goal in St Louis, to secure a top 10 overall for the season. Kilbarger has made every main event this season until this weekend and no doubt he will come to do battle in St Louis. He consistently learns from him track encounters and this one will be not different. Lipanovich brings more to the table each and every week and he picks up speed with every second on the race track. #36 of Durham is still on the mend with a slight shoulder injury and the team is unsure he will be racing the St. Louis or sitting it out to continue healing for the upcoming outdoors.

The Honda of Troy/Kilbarger Racing Team would like to acknowledge the sponsors who make this effort possible.

Team GPF/Babbitt's Online Season Wrap Up

Courtesy of GPF/Babbitts
It's been a season to remember for Team GPF/Babbitt's Online. After Team GPF rider Dano Aulseybrook wrapped up the AX Lites east title in Dayton, Ohio the series headed west to Denver, CO for the final round of the series and the finish of the Lites west championship.

1

 

 

 

AJ Catanzaro came into Denver with a comfortable 20 point lead in the Lites west and only needed a consistant weekend to secure the title. AJ did just that on friday night in Denver riding a smart and smooth race coming home in 2nd place. With 2nd place in points, Cory Green, getting hurt during qualifying and not racing the main event AJ was able to wrap up AX Lites west championship for Team GPF.

On Saturday night in Denver the team made the decision to put AJ on the 450 and get his feet wet with the big boys of Arenacross. Unfortunately it didn't go so well for AJ. After logging some fast qualifying times in practice AJ got off the line badly in his heat race and then went down hard on the first lap in the rhythm section. AJ was bruised up but toughed it out and rode the LCQ but was unable ride like himself and failed to make the main event.

In the end Team GPF did exactly what we set out to do in the 2010 AX series and that was to win the LItes east and west titles. Can't thank our riders, AJ Catanzaro and Dano Aulseybrook, enough for all the hard work they put in this season. They put in the hard work and deserved it.

From my father Ray Woods and myself (Josh Woods) we can't thank you enough for all your support. This program wouldn't be possible without you. We hope to continue developing young riders and making you a part of our program for many years to come. Thanks again!

GEICO MiniMotoSX salutes Dallas SX Lites winner Blake Baggett, 2009 MMSX Youth champ!

GEICO MiniMotoSX salutes Dallas SX Lites winner Blake Baggett, 2009 MMSX Youth champ!

Baggett, who rides minis for Red Baron, is the defending champ in Youth 10” & 12” – says he hopes to defend his mini titles this May 7^th in Vegas

ANAHEIM, Calif. (March 22, 2010) – GEICO Powersports MiniMotoSX, presented by Monster Energy, would like to congratulate its 2009 Youth 10” and 12” champion – Rockstar/Suzuki’s Blake Baggett - on his first Supercross Lites win this past weekend at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.

Baggett, who runs the Red Baron brand minis at the GEICO MMSX, is a rookie on the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, tour and easily one of the fastest mini bike racers in the world.

“Everyone at GEICO MiniMotoSX was pumped to hear that Blake won the Dallas Lites main event,” said Mike Karsting, VP of Events for Source Interlink Media. “Blake’s one of our top young mini bike racers and ran the table last year in both the Youth 10 and 12-inch (rim) classes.

“It’s good to see he’s taken all he’s learned on our mini track at the Orleans and applied it to Cowboys Stadium,” added Karsting with a laugh.

A likeable, supremely fast mini bike racer with style to burn, Baggett – should he be cleared to race GEICO MMSX this May 7^th – will move up to MMSX’s premier “Expert” class to battle the likes of Costella, his Red Baron teammate Blose, Browning, Pingree, Abrigo and Lawrence. At that point, should he qualify, Baggett would be able to contest for the new GEICO MMSX World Final.

“I’m not 100% sure if I’m going to be able to race MiniMotoSX or not … depends where I’m at in the points and what my Rockstar Suzuki team says,” said Baggett. “But I really hope so. I’m ready and Red Baron has my bikes ready to go.”

Added Red Baron’s LeAnn McElyea: “We are very proud of Blake. Everyone at Red Baron was glued to the TV watching his every move and we were so excited when he won. Blake is a part of our family and we’re just so happy for him. We’ll have Blake’s bikes ready to go for Vegas - you can count on that. We’re all hoping his Rockstar Suzuki Team gives him the green light.”

Also: For the first time ever, MMSX at the Orleans will feature electric bikes competing head-to-head with the combustion bikes in the 16” class. After years of being an exhibition class, electric bikes will finally get the chance to see if they can hold it down against the gasoline-powered bikes. Will they be able to keep up? Could they dominate? Are they gonna get waxed? You’ll have to be in Vegas on May 7^th to find out!

NOTE: The event track map is posted on www.minimotosx.com

The annual GEICO MiniMotoSX, presented by Monster Energy, is the largest indoor motorsports competition of its kind. With more than 600 registered riders in 2009 the event literally allows for mini bike enthusiasts to become part of the show. As one racer put it: “At GEICO MiniMotoSX you don’t just show up and watch racing in Vegas – you boot up and get on the track yourself to race in front of a packed house at the Orleans.” Featuring numerous classes at all age and ability levels, GEICO MiniMotoSX delivers an unforgettable day of racing action for both fans and racers alike, along with an affordable ‘Vegas experience’ given the hotel and ticket package at the Orleans Hotel and Arena.

AURORA, Ill. (February 9, 2010) – Spike TV has begun to reap benefits from its multi-faceted, distinctive marketing partnership with Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship. The multi-year deal that began this January enables Spike to strategically target the male 18-34 demographic, which constitutes the core of the network’s audience.
Even though the partnership just launched, Spike has already seen solid results from its partnership with Monster Energy Supercross.
o Spike’s new original series, “Blue Mountain State,” was heavily promoted in the first two supercross events of 2010. Aided by that marketing push, the series premiere drew 105% more men 18-49 than in the same timeslot a year ago.
o Spike’s Facebook® “friend list” has increased steadily in January to over 68,000 with the help of the marketing efforts at supercross events.
o Spike has used its presence at Supercross to help develop its databases through email capture and driving sign up to SMS alerts for fans of the network.
“By immersing Spike brand messaging in supercross, we are able to speak to our audience who craves high-action entertainment,” said Todd Ames, Vice President, Consumer Marketing, Spike TV.
“Feld Motor Sports is proud to welcome Spike TV into our family of sponsors of Monster Energy Supercross”, said Charlie Mancuso, President of Feld Motor Sports, “This is a ground breaking marketing partnership and we look forward to working with Spike TV in the months and years to come.”
SPIKE’s Monster Energy Supercross marketing package includes the following:
Event Signage:
o Spike becomes the name-in-title sponsor for “Holeshot,” a highly visible track feature highlighted in each main event race of the evening. The Spike “Holeshot” will be strategically placed at the first turn on the race course.
o Spike receives a variety of branded trackside banners, branded pit banners, and signage on the awards podium. Spike “Holeshot” winners will also receive a Spike-branded check that will be awarded during the podium presentations. There are 15 events held in venues all across the country and one international event with an estimated attendance between 750,000-1 million spectators.
Television:
o Spike will receive multiple commercial spots during CBS and SPEED Channel’s nationally televised broadcasts. CBS is scheduled to telecast nine events and SPEED will air 16 events this year.
Digital:
o Exclusive content for the Spike.com webpage with the riders of Monster Energy Supercross.
o Spike will have audio mentions on webcasts of supercross events.

Pastrana Lends A Hand

Courtesy of Motor Sports Newswire

December 17, 2009 - (Motor Sports Newswire) - Motocross legend Brad Lackey was notified this week that MX Champ, ESPN X-Games Gold Medalist, daredevil and rally car driver Travis Pastrana is on board and contributing $5,000 towards Lackey's on-going efforts to get former MX hero Danny "Magoo" Chandler a new special needs van.

"Me and others have made great careers out of doing incredible things... no, IMPOSSIBLE things on motorcycles! However it was Magoo who showed everybody way back when what was possible if you just decided to go for it, and the fans loved him for it," explains Pastrana. "I'm honored to help because what Danny is doing now for motorcycle safety is super important. I want to encourage others who, like Bob Hannah said, 'have the ability to give towards this,' to take up the Challenge to get Magoo his new van," Pastrana added.

Pastrana is the lucky 13th name to be added to the list of 20 as part of Bob "Hurricane" Hannah's Challenge that has been promoted in weekly issues of Cycle News. Pastrana joins Hannah, Terry Knott, Bob Fox, Bruce Lockwood, Glen Helen Raceway Park, Mark Barnett, Jimmy Weinert, PDM TV, Jason Lawrence, Tom Reese/Springfield Armory and Hi-Torque Publications with his contribution towards the Challenge. This leaves seven (7) spots left to fill by those individuals or companies who have the ability and want to help meet Hannah's challenge and make Brad Lackey's van project for Chandler happen before the end of the year.

"Having another current motorcycle star of Travis Pastrana's caliber help us, will go a long way to completing this project for Magoo," said Brad Lackey, America's First Motocross World Champion. "If there is a guy today that recognizes the trail Danny blazed for all of the current riders, that guy is Travis Pastrana."

"It's awesome that Travis is stepping up to meet the challenge," added 7-Time National Motocross and Supercross Champion Bob "Hurricane" Hannah. "Some of us hung it out every time we raced, and Pastrana has really hung it out during his career. However, Magoo was the first and its great that Travis understands this," Hannah concluded.

All the donations for this challenge campaign are tax deductible with 501(c)(3) status.
