Southwick, MA. - The AMA MX National Series went into action over the weekend at Motocross 338 for the tenth round of the series. Being the toughest track of the year with its deep sand; it always results to be a true test of man and machinery. DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha was fielding top prospects of #25 Ryan Sipes, #35 Kyle Cunningham, #387 Gareth Swanepoel, #533 Gannon Audette, and #1 Jessica Patterson.
The big highlight came out of Swanepoel in moto one, taking the holeshot, he then settled into a strong pace and held the lead for five laps. Riding at his best and only dropping one position, 2nd Swanepoel held the pace of the leader through the halfway mark which enabled him to capitalize on other competitor’s mistakes. Lap eleven saw the Yamaha pilot takeover the 1st spot, and at this point he showed strength by finding his lines and breaking away. With three laps remaining, he not only increased his lead on 2nd place, but took control of the race and marched on to his first win and podium appearance. Moto two for Swanepoel was just as impressive, as a start of 7th was only a sign of good things. Moving up quickly and finding good form, Gareth took over 5th on lap one. Dicing it out, unfortunately he crashed in a deep sand turn on lap four, and that slated him back to 7th again. Never the one to settle, during the entire thirty minutes without any weakness, Swanepoel secured 5th place which gave him a very commendable 3rd overall.
Audette turned in the strongest performance of his young career by starting in 6th, and after a few great moments he battled right to the end, finishing 4th. Moto two panned out to be a much more trying event, on lap one Gannon found himself starting in 40th after being taken down in a pileup. Forging forward after remounting, put him into a mid pack position by the halfway mark, keeping with a great charge ahead; he’d settle netting 16th place in the moto.
Riding like he hadn’t missed a beat after suffering from low energy levels, in the first moto Sipes got out of the gate in 11th. From there, Sipes put down some solid laps early on, and took his #25 YZ 250F upward into 9th. As time counted down to midway point, Sipes raced his way up to the competitors holding 5th. Using any reserved energy he had, Sipes put in his best effort to snatch a higher placing, but in the end it was just out of reach and he’d finish out in 6th. When moto two came to existence, Sipes could be found in the 7th spot. Continuing the comeback, the focused kid tried to work in the same grand fashion as earlier. At the halfway point though Sipes began feeling ill possibly from swallowing sand, and eventually Sipes would pull off in the next few laps.
Also running was Cunningham who gave his all and put together an impressive first part of moto one by running 7th, but crashes kept him from finishing. Feeling battered and bruised, the team and Cunningham decided that sitting out of moto two, to heal up would be beneficial. On a bright note, Cunningham still holds 4th position in overall points.
Results:
Moto 1 Moto 2 = Overall Finish
Gareth Swanepoel 1st 5th = 3rd
Gannon Audette 4th 16th = 8th
Ryan Sipes 6th 35th = 14th
Kyle Cunningham 34th 37th = 37th
Also adding to the great race results, was Jessica Patterson our WMX pilot who had a devastating moto one, crashing on lap two led to her being unable to restart the bike and a finish of 27th. Moto two was business as usual and a steady performance of leading every lap for the win. However, Jessica’s going 27-1 gave her 6th overall.

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Rattray Wins at Southwick for Second-Straight Year

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Rattray Wins at Southwick for Second-Straight Year
CORONA, Calif.- Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Tyla Rattray bounced back from a tough race at Unadilla to take the overall win with a 2-1 result at Round 10 of the AMA Motocross Championship series at MX 338 in Southwick, Mass. Teammate Dean Wilson finished just behind Rattray with a 3-2 result for second overall, stretching his points lead to 38 over second in the standings. Blake Baggett tackled the rain-soaked track both motos to finish fifth with a 9-6 moto score. Broc Tickle showed his speed as he finished fifth in the first moto and came from behind after a crash in the second moto to finish 12th for seventh overall.
Winner of the Southwick National last year, Rattray was faced with different conditions than before as rain soaked the track most of the day. The first moto had him close to the leader for the entire race, but was unable to make the pass. He came out stronger in the second moto, making the pass for the lead early and kept his Pro Circuit-backed Kawasaki KX250F out front until the end for his fourth overall win of the season.
“I’ve ridden in tracks like this my whole life and I am able to have that show a little bit when I come here,” said Rattray. “I wasn’t feeling super confident in the first race, but we made some set-up changes and I felt much better in the second race. The track got really rough during the second moto so I just tried to be smart and ride solid laps.”
Entering the race in Southwick, Wilson had a 25-point lead over second place in the championship standings. After two solid motos in the deep, rough sand, Wilson was able to extend his lead to 38 points with four motos remaining.
“I knew this would be a challenging track for me, but my main goal was to keep it on two wheels and stay up front,” said Wilson. “I didn’t win, but I accomplished those goals and was able to get a few more points in front of second place in the standings. We’ll try and keep it together for the final two rounds. It would be nice to finish out the season with another win.”
While Baggett wasn’t able to start at the front, he worked his way through the pack for two respectable finishes. Baggett made his normal push to the front in the first moto and despite coming into the mechanics area for fresh goggles, still earned ninth. He was ready to redeem himself in the second moto and was able to come from outside the top-15 to finish sixth for fifth overall.
“I am not really a fan of sand tracks and haven’t had much time riding on them,” said Baggett. “Coming through the pack normally isn’t too much of an issue for me, but this track was tough with all the sand roost and then it started to rain pretty hard in the first moto. I knew I couldn’t make it if I didn’t come in for goggles. Overall, I’m just happy to get through this race and I’m going to be ready to get another win.”
Tickle had been hoping to prove himself after bad luck at Unadilla and was able to do that in the first moto in Southwick. In the first moto, he got a mid-pack start and was able to push all the way up to fifth. While Tickle rode with the same tenacity in the second moto, he finished 12th after going down early in the race to finish the day seventh overall.
“I am really bummed with my second moto today because I felt like I was finally showing what I was capable of in the first moto,” said Tickle. “I need to get rid of this black cloud that’s following me. In the mean time, I am just going to have to stay positive and hope that everyone sees the heart I’m putting in each moto. I can say that I’ve never given up, which means something to me.”
The AMA Motocross Championship series is in its final stretch with two races to go as the series heads to Steel City Raceway in Delmont, Pa. After 10 of 12 rounds, Wilson remains in the lead with 438 points, while Rattray moved back into second with 400 points. Baggett is in third with 398 points. Rattray moved into third with 353, while Tickle sit in seventh with 220.

Bel-Ray’s professional racers were in action as racing took place in Indianapolis, IN and Southwick, MA this past weekend.
The world famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway was the site of the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix this past weekend. Coming off DNF’s at the 2 previous rounds, Bel-Ray backed Tech3 racing star Bradley Smith was hoping to turn his bad luck around in Indy. He did just that by qualifying 4th fastest in timed qualifying. Smith rocketed to the front of the pack as the race started and led the field into the first turn. Smith rode a fantastic race and eventually finished in 4th place just off the podium. His fine ride moved him up to 6th place in the series standings. Teammate Mike DiMeglio has been struggling all season long trying to find top results, but could only manage a 27th place finish. The next event for the team will be this weekend in Misano, Italy.
Hurricane Irene brought rain and winds to the MX338 circuit in Southwick, MA this past weekend. TwoTwo Motorsports / Bel-Ray Racing Chad Reed suffered his worst results of the season as he failed to finish either moto after setting the second fastest time of the day in morning qualifying. Despite not scoring any points at all, Reed is still 3rd place in the series point’s standings with 2 rounds left. Bel-Ray Elite racers also performed quite well in the awful conditions.

Chad Sanner “ wow, two of our riders in the top ten really makes me happy. Alex was on fire in that second moto.

Our private practice track is prepped and ready to start testing to get ready for our home race next weekend at Steel City.

Fiolek Extends Points Lead, Barcia Earns First 450 Win
Torrance, CA: The Southwick MX National at Moto-X 338 in Southwick, MA, hosted round 10 of the 2011 AMA Motocross Championship this weekend. On their Honda CRF250R and CRF450R race machines, the Honda Red Riders overcame the adverse weather conditions caused by Hurricane Irene to score podium finishes, including winning two motos.
At only his second race on the factory Honda CRF450R, American Honda Racing’s Justin Barcia nabbed his first-ever big-bore class win. Barcia got a great start in the second moto and charged into the lead on the opening lap to take a wire-to-wire victory. Despite a DNF due to a mechanical failure while running third in the first moto, Justin’s first win earned him seventh overall for the day.
“I’m so happy right now,” said Barcia. “I know I ride well on sandier tracks, so I was confident I could do well here at Southwick. Unfortunately, I had some bad luck in the first moto but rebounded in the second to take the win, which I’m really happy about. I got a great start and charged hard the whole time. The American Honda team did an awesome job, and I’m thankful for all the support I receive from them and from the GEICO Honda team.”
TwoTwo Motorsports’ Chad Reed had a disappointing weekend, unable to finish either race due to mechanical issues in both motos. Reed remains in third place in the championship chase with two rounds to go.

GEICO Honda’s Justin Bogle put in a strong ride aboard his Honda CRF250R in unfavorable racing conditions, rebounding from his 18th place finish in moto one to finish fourth in moto two. Bogle finished a solid ninth overall at only his second Motocross 250 class event of his professional career. After posting the fastest time in practice, GEICO Honda teammate Eli Tomac struggled on the hurricane-drenched track, finishing 19th (14-32). Fellow Honda racer Darryn Durham rounded out 10th overall (8-13).

Dunlop Tests with the Best
Courtesy of Dunlop Tires
Buffalo, NY: Dunlop’s process of developing tires takes on many forms. Two key avenues include testing at the Dunlop Proving Grounds (DPG) in Huntsville, Alabama and during actual race competition.
Dunlop associate and test rider Clark Stiles recently put his Dunlop Geomax–equipped Kawasaki through its paces in racing conditions, competing at the 2011 AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at the Loretta Lynn Ranch. At the weeklong event, Stiles earned outstanding results, winning two national championships plus the prestigious AMA Vet Rider of the Year award for his efforts. Dunlop congratulates Stiles on his accomplishments at the biggest amateur national competition of the year.
Stiles went up against stiff competition in both Junior 25 Plus and Vet 35 Plus classes, competing alongside an experienced field of riders, including several former professional racers. Coming close to completing a sweep of the championship motos, Stiles scored 1-2-1 moto finishes in the Junior 25 Plus Championship and went 1-1-2 in the Vet 35 Plus Championship, en route to capturing both titles. Acknowledging his stellar efforts, MX Sports awarded him the Vet Rider of the Year award.
“It was great to win two championships and I’m very honored to receive the Vet Rider of the Year award,” said Stiles. “The level of competition was extremely high. I counted at least 10 riders competing that had previously held a top 100 national number on the AMA circuit, and a few were pro race winners. There was quite a bit of racing experience between us all.
“2010 was my first year racing Loretta’s since 2002. Apart from changes to the venue and track, much about the event is still the same—it still attracts the best racers from across the country and is still a lot of fun! I like racing Loretta’s because it keeps me in touch with the new era of racers. Bikes are so different now than they were in the days of two-strokes. It’s not just about riding the track and testing tires though. It’s more an opportunity for me to stay informed and relevant—check out how the kids are racing and what other riders are able to do on their bikes. I need to stay in touch so I can do my job to the fullest. Winning races isn’t just good for me but also good for Dunlop.”
Clark’s experience as a top AMA professional racer for many years, and his recent exploits at amateur national competitions, furthers the development of Dunlop’s next generation of off road tires.

Bel-Ray Racing-Weekend Wrap Up

Bel-Ray Racing-Weekend Wrap Up
Bel-Ray Racing-Weekend Wrap Up
Round 13 of the 15 race World Motocross GP series took place this past weekend at Matterley Basin in Winchester, Great Britain. Following his 2nd place in Loket, Bel-Ray backed TM Factory racer Tanel Leok was prepared to continue his fine results as the season draws to a close. Leok finished a strong 4th in the 1st moto, but was met with disaster in the 2nd moto. While charging early on in the moto, Leok was landed on in a spectacular fashion by another racer and was too shaken up to continue. He should be back in action when the series returns on September 4 in Gaildorf, Germany. Leok is 11th in the overall season points standings.
The final round of the CMRC National Championship Series took place this weekend in Walton, Ontario, Canada. The Kini / Red Bull / KTM / IMX / Bel-Ray Racing team of Kieran Leigh and Mason Phillips showed strong results all season long. This was the teams 1st season in action, and both racers finished inside the Top 10 in the series standings. Phillips was 8th in the MX1 class, while Leigh was 6th in the MX2 class. Two of Bel-Ray’s Elite support racers traveled north to Canada from their NJ home to compete in Walton this weekend as well. Bryan Wallace was 10th, and Dakota Kessler was 28th in the 1st moto. Stormy weather prior to the second MX1 moto forced a cancellation of the moto. Kessler ended the series in 25th overall after only 4 rounds, while Wallace ended the series 34th overall after only attending the final round.
