(1/13/06) - With 2006 ATVA MX Nationals
set to begin in less than one month, Australia’s
Yamaha Rider, Luke Beechey, has left the down under
and has arrived in the USA to prepare for the opening
round of the series in San Bernardino, CA at Glen Helen
Raceway. In 2005, Beechey competed in the final two
rounds of the series in the Production B and 4 Stroke
B classes to get his feet wet across the pond against
the fastest MX racers in the World, and he has been
hooked ever since, so he has packed his bags and moved
to the U.S.A to push his racing career to a higher level.
“After two great seasons in Australia, I have
decided to tackle all 14 rounds of the 2006 ATVA GNC
MX Championship in the U.S.A. In season 2004 and 2005,
I achieved everything in which I set out to do with
the exception of winning the Australian Championships
where I placed 2nd ’’, said Beechey.
When asked why he decided to make the move to the
USA, and not go for the Australian Championship, Beechey
replied, “Australian Motorcycle riders have
been gaining a lot of exposure in the last few years
and I hope that we can help open the door for more
Aussie ATV racers that would like to race in the U.S.A.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone
that has helped me get here, and I look forward to
what the future will bring. Melissa ( my fiancé
) and I are living in Ohio where I will prepare for
the upcoming season ’’
It is great to have this talented Aussie rider competing
in the ATVA MX Nationals, and he is still sorting
out his sponsors and looking forward to meeting new
people and companies in 2006, so if you see Luke Beechey
at the races, be sure to give him a warm welcome.
