NEW BERLIN, NY– Team Rockstar Energy Suzuki celebrated another strong showing in the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross Championships on Saturday. The Rockstar Energy Drink Unadilla National saw Martin Davalos finish in seventh place overall in the 250 class at round nine of the series in New Berlin, NY. Rockstar Energy Suzuki teammates Ryan Morais, Nick Paluzzi and Jason Anderson followed in 12th, 13th and 16th, respectively.
In the first moto, Davalos was struggling with an injury sustained during practice and was happy to finish up in 14th place. But in the second moto, the Rockstar Energy Suzuki rider put the pain behind him and rallied. Davalos got a good start on his Yoshimura-equipped Rockstar Energy Suzuki RM-Z250 and was right there in the hunt for all 30 minutes plus two laps in the second moto. Once the dust cleared, Davalos had piloted his RM-Z250 to an impressive fifth-place finish, which was good enough for a seventh-place overall for the day.
“This past weekend was all right,” said Davalos. “But in practice, I got hit by a rock and it knocked out my tooth. The nerve was exposed, so I was in a lot of pain in the first moto and I was just trying to survive. But the Rockstar Energy Suzuki team was really supportive and helped me put a lot of heart into the second moto. I’m happy with my performance in the second moto; unfortunately, the tooth threw everything off. But we have a weekend off to regroup and work on some things, and I’ll see the dentist to get everything fixed up. So I’m looking forward to Southwick – it’s one of the toughest races on the circuit and I’ve got to be prepared for that one.”
The Rockstar Energy Suzuki team’s next event is the 10th round of the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross Championship on Saturday, August 27th, at the Rockstar Energy Drink Southwick National in Southwick, MA. You can meet the Rockstar Energy Suzuki riders on Friday, August 26th, from 6 to 7 PM, at Motorsports International, 444 Washington St. (Rt. 20) in Auburn, MA.

Answer Racing is proud to announce that Chris Plouffe and Kyle Peters took home 2 out of the 3 Pro class championships! Kyle brought home the hardware in the 250 A class and Chris in the Open Pro class. They weren’t the only ones who got a spot on the podium either. Keith Tucker, Jalek Swoll and Dilan Schwartz put in awesome rides to be up on the box at the end of the week. Keith took home 3rd in the Supermini 2 class, Jalek finished 3rd in the 65 (7-9) stock class and Dilan took runner up honors in the 51 (7-8) AMA 2 stock class. We can’t forget our man Scottie Shipley who swept every moto of the Masters 50 Plus and took home the Championship. Other notable top 10 performances were Brandon Scharer, Chad Scogins, Cody Cornwell, Cullin Park and Cole Barbieri in their respected classes.

Justin Barcia To Race 450 Class For American Honda
Courtesy of American Honda
Torrance, CA: American Honda is pleased to announce that GEICO Honda rider Justin Barcia will ride for the American Honda Racing team and race a factory Honda-prepared CRF450R at the remaining four rounds in the 2011 AMA Motocross Championship.
“I’m so grateful to have this opportunity to ride the Honda CRF450R in the 450 class,” said Barcia. “I can’t thank GEICO Honda team owners Rick Zielfelder and Jeff Majkrzak enough for allowing me to take advantage of this opportunity. I raced the CRF450R to the overall win at the Bercy Supercross last year and I felt great competing on the bike, so I’m excited to now get the chance to race several rounds in the Motocross series on it. I’m also really looking forward to working with the factory Honda team. I feel I’ve grown a lot as a professional racer over the past three years and this whole experience is only going to help me develop my skills even more.”
American Honda Racing Team Manager Erik Kehoe welcomes Barcia to the Honda starting line-up. “Justin has been a part of the Honda family for many years now, having entered the professional ranks through Honda’s amateur support program,” said Kehoe. “He has a lot of experience racing Honda motorcycles and he’s earned a lot of success in both his amateur and professional careers. Trey Canard showcased his talents aboard the factory-prepared Honda CRF450R last year when he filled in for six Supercross rounds, and obviously that was a significant career opportunity for him, while Cole Seely enjoyed racing several Supercross’ with the team this year. We are pleased to work with Honda-supported teams and give the younger Honda riders the chance to gain valuable experience riding for the factory team when opportunities arise.”

Arnette Adds Adam Jones to Team
Courtesy of Arnette
FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif.– Arnette is excited to announce that FMX standout Adam Jones has joined the family as its newest team rider. Adam will proudly fly the flag for Arnette’s resurgence into the motocross world with the release of its all-new Series 3MX™ goggle in September 2011.
“It’s rad to ride for Arnette,” Adam says. “I remember seeing the MX goggles years ago and always thinking they were awesome, so to be the first team rider back on the program is an honor. The goggles work really well, and I'm pumped to be riding for such a cool company that makes such great products!”
Watch Adam’s “Welcome to the Team” video at: http://bit.ly/arnette-adam-jones-video
Widely recognized as one of the sport’s most progressive riders, Adam Jones is the inventor of such mind-numbing FMX tricks as the Stripper Flip, Cordova Flip, Shaolin Flip and Corpse Flip. A fierce competitor with a killer sense of humor, Adam truly epitomizes what Arnette stands for: tradition, progression, good times, and going balls-to-the-wall all day, every day.
Adam’s competitive accomplishments are vast, with highlights including a gold medal at the 2007 Summer X Games, winning the overall title on the Dew Tour in 2008, and most recently a silver medal performance in Moto X Freestyle at the 2011 Summer X Games. Fueled by classic punk tracks and lots of metal, Adam is a dedicated rider who you can always count on to push himself and the sport to the next level.
“We’re super excited to have Adam on the team,” says Arnette Team and Events Specialist Brent Bearden. “He’s been leading the charge in FMX for many years and his insane riding style truly speaks for itself. Adam will be a huge asset to the brand, and having him represent Arnette is really amazing.”
In the months ahead, keep an eye out for Adam as he will be wearing Arnette’s new Series 3MX goggle while he competes at all the major contests.
Dripping with heritage, rich design detail and loads of flavor, the Series 3MX features a true anatomical fit, articulating strap attachments for micro-tweak helmet compatibility, posts for tear-offs, and triple-layer Combo Plate face foam that wicks away sweat and maximizes comfort. The Cool Breeze venting system promotes air-flow while the scratch-resistant Lexan® lens provides UV protection, impact resistance and the best in fog-free visual performance – all at a great value.

Ride Day Benefit for Josh Lichtle Foundation
Courtesy of 811 Foundation
Stanton, MI– In honor of the late, great Josh Litchle, Michigan Motocross track Valley Motocross will be holding a benefit ride day called “Ride with Wings” on August 11, 2011 in order to celebrate Josh’s memory, as well as raise funds for the new 811 Foundation for Proactive Injury Prevention.
The 811 Foundation was started by Josh’s brother Billy Lichtle, following Josh’s death on July 4th, 2011. Sadly, Josh passed away after suffering the effects of hyperthermia and heat stroke while racing the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship at RedBud MX in Buchanan, Michigan.
“Josh was an incredible brother, and became instant friends with anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting him”, said Billy. “This foundation is very important to our family, as well as for other motocross families who are likely not aware of the serious dangers involved with hyperthermia and overexertion while riding in hot temperatures.”
Billy went on to say that the new foundation aims to overcome that lack of awareness by offering free resources to riders and families who might not otherwise have the ability or insight to properly protect themselves from situations like the one his brother Josh encountered:
“We’re going to be traveling to motocross events across the country and offering training, nutrition, and hydration-based resources by partnering with industry-leading experts and packaging it all into a series of fun and rewarding track-side seminars that kids will enjoy, and parents will appreciate”, said Billy. “The Ride with Wings event at Valley is a perfect place to get things rolling, especially with some of Josh’s closest friends in attendance.”
Central Michigan track Valley Motocross is hosting and promoting the event with help from local dealership Power Sports Concepts. Event liaison Buck Riggie says, “we’re creating a fun event to honor the fun memories we all enjoyed with Josh.”

Stanton, MI– In honor of the late, great Josh Litchle, Michigan Motocross track Valley Motocross will be holding a benefit ride day called “Ride with Wings” on August 11, 2011 in order to celebrate Josh’s memory, as well as raise funds for the new 811 Foundation for Proactive Injury Prevention.
The 811 Foundation was started by Josh’s brother Billy Lichtle, following Josh’s death on July 4th, 2011. Sadly, Josh passed away after suffering the effects of hyperthermia and heat stroke while racing the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship at RedBud MX in Buchanan, Michigan.
“Josh was an incredible brother, and became instant friends with anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting him”, said Billy. “This foundation is very important to our family, as well as for other motocross families who are likely not aware of the serious dangers involved with hyperthermia and overexertion while riding in hot temperatures.”
Billy went on to say that the new foundation aims to overcome that lack of awareness by offering free resources to riders and families who might not otherwise have the ability or insight to properly protect themselves from situations like the one his brother Josh encountered:

The Legends & Heroes of Motocross to Honor 3 Time National Champion Marty Smith
Courtesy of Legends and Heroes
Marty Smith was the AMA’s first 125cc Motocross Champion. During the 1970’s, Smith won three national titles – the 1974 & 1975 AMA 125cc Motocross Championships and the 1977 AMA 500cc Motocross Championship. He won a total of 18 career nationals and was one of the few to score wins in the 125cc, 250cc and 500cc AMA Motocross Nationals as well as Trans AMA competition. In addition, Smith won the 125cc U.S. Grand Prix of Motocross in 1975 & 1976.
“Marty Smith, the guy had it all!” states Tom White of the Early Years of Motocross Museum. “Surfer good looks, talent, great style, and a champion’s will to win! Marty really helped advance the sport of motocross in American and was largely responsible for Honda selling a heck of a lot of CR's in the late 1970’s” he adds.
Smith became known as one of the most stylish riders in motocross history. According to his mechanic Dave Arnold, there was never a bad photo of Smith. His riding style was textbook perfect. He won all his championships with Honda and the company featured him in its advertising, using his long hair and youthful good looks as a selling point. He was on dozens of magazine covers riding the legendary Honda Elsinore, donning the famous red, white and blue racing colors. Smith became the first teen idol in motocross and legions of young fans followed his every move.
Alex Moroz, general managing partner of the Legends & Heroes Tour, states “Marty is a great champion who has paved the way for many of us in our sport. His three time national titles and induction to the AMA Hall of Fame are a testament of his hard work and determination. As a team member of the original JT USA Racing team, Marty was involved in the early days of the brands development and continues today as an advisor".
Professor Gary Bailey writes, “I remember Marty Smith well because he was coming up as I was ending my pro racing career to focus on my motocross schools. And, at that time, I was looking at what everyone was doing to go faster and to be a great champion. Marty had it all - the looks, the style and the personality. If you were looking for the whole package, Marty had it”.
On Friday the 12th of August at the Unadilla Amateur track (the U-2), the Legends & Heroes Tour in conjunction with JT Racing USA will be “Under the Big Top” hosting Marty Smith along with an impressive list of invited former champions including 3 Time National Champ Tony D., National Motocross and Supercross Champion Jimmy Weinert, The Professor Gary Bailey and former National Pro Mickey Kessler. Additional invited national champions will be listed as they confirm prior to the event. This will be a motivational presentation evening starting with a “Meet & Greet” of the champs at 7pm, an “Open Mic” session with all the champions followed by a “Silent Auction” and “Autograph Session”.
Congrats Marty, for a job well done! Was this post helpful? Add yours to our service or subscribe to our feed above.
