FARMINGDALE, NJ – August 1, 2011 – Bel-Ray Company, Inc.  – Bel-Ray Racing-X Games Wrap-Up

Bel-Ray performance lubricants are for more than just racing. The elite stars of freestyle motocross rely on the performance advantage Bel-Ray offers in their freestyle contests.

The biggest show in freestyle motocross took place this past weekend in Los Angeles, California  for X Games 17. Bel-Ray FMX athletes, Blake Williams, Adam Jones, Mike Mason and Carey Hart were all scheduled for action. Williams was unfortunately injured in practice prior to the event and could not compete but Bel-Ray’s other athlete stepped up and showed their skills.

On Friday night in the Staples Center, Adam Jones grabbed Bel-Ray’s first X Games medal of the weekend with the Silver Medal in Moto X Freestyle. Jones pulled off many big backflip tricks, including his new signature trick, the Rigor Mortis, on his way to a second place finish and the 5^th X Games medal in his career. Jones was a busy competitor for the weekend as he also competed in Freestyle Motocross Best Trick placing 6^th and the Speed and Style events where he was defeated in quarter finals action.

Speed and Style racing took place on Saturday night and Bel-Ray was again on the podium with a Silver Medal finish. After defeating Todd Potter in quarter finals racing and Carey Hart in the semi-finals, Mike Mason was up against Nate Adams for the gold medal round. Mason defeated Adams on speed, but lost by just 3 points in style, earning the Silver Medal. Hart defeated Jeremy Stenberg in quarter finals action but lost to Mason in semi-finals and ended his X Games comeback with a 4^th place finish.

RaceTrackerMX, Finally There is an App For Fast

 

Intrepid Creations has released RaceTrackerMX in the iTunes App Store, a productivity tool for motocross racers that records lap times for multiple riders and bikes at the same time.  Current bike setup, track conditions and race results are then stored with the lap times. Racers can compare lap times from previous races to optimize their bike’s setup for the next race. RaceTrackerMX is now available on the Apple iTunes App Store.

 

“I believe this app will improve a riders race results within just a few races,” said Intrepid Creations owner Brian St. John. “This app will allow racers, mechanics and team managers to accurately monitor the on track performance of a rider or an entire race team. Race results can then be compared in lists and graphs.”

 

RaceTrackerMX is simple to use and requires very little setup. Enter riders, bikes and tracks into the system only once. Next time you practice or race, link the riders and their bikes to a race and your ready to capture lap times for each moto or heat race that they are in. RaceTrackerMX also has a handy checklists section where riders and mechanics can check off parts and gear as they load up for a race weekend.

 

Intrepid Creations is dedicated to continued development of RaceTrackerMX and will release updates as new features are added.
