ST.HILAIRE MOTORSPORTS will be fielding a 5 rider team for the 2011 season. Recently starting ST HILAIRE MOTORSPORTS; a New Hampshire parts and service shop, owner and Expert racer Josh St.Hilaire realized the need for a professional level team to help these riders who have as much determination and drive to succeed as any other, but not enough resources as this sport has come to require to succeed.

Partnered with a few of the top companies in the industry such as CHAPLIN KAWASAKI, 139 Designs, and Factory Connection, the team consists of area pro riders Paul Lamb, Jake Abbott, Mike Sottile, and Expert riders Matt Woodman and Josh St.Hilaire. Their main focus is the highly competitive NESC championship series along with the 5 local Lucas Oil AMA nationals and amatuer days listed on the website. Matt and Josh will be racing amatuer days at select nationals to gain pro-am points toward earning their pro licenses.


"It is a tough economy to start a venture such as this one, but surrounding ourselves with the right people, making sure to give our sponsors a great return on investment, and increasing our sponsors bottom line will be a sure path to success as a team in 2011 and beyond" says owner and team rider Josh St.Hilaire.


The team is currently looking to solidify sponsors.

Morgantown, W.Va. (November 17, 2009) - MX Sports, producer of the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships at Loretta Lynn's Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., has officially announced the 2010 Area Qualifier Schedule. Within the 7 different regions across the country riders are provided 51 opportunities to attend the first stage in the qualification process to the National Championships held at the famed Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., August 2-7, 2010.
"The 2010 schedule will give our Loretta Lynn riders an opportunity to compete on the best AMA tracks in America," said Tim Cotter, Director of MX Sports. "In addition to the many facilities that have historically been on the schedule we have a few very exciting new comers to the program. It is the goal of MX Sports to develop relationships with the best promoters and facilities in the country to hold these very important events."
The 2010 Area Qualifier Event Schedule already boasts several Pro National tracks and the Hangtown MX facility near Sacramento, Calif., joins the Northwest schedule for the very first time. Hangtown has been the site of professional motocross races since 1968, including the second round of the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championships.
"We are excited to host our first Area Qualifier at Hangtown," said Scott Davis, promoter of the event and owner of E Street MX. "We hope the addition of the event at this national level track will be an exciting opportunity for riders on their way to the National at Loretta Lynn's."
