Rome, GA (2/16/06) - Pirelli
has reached an agreement to be the exclusive motorcycle
and ATV tire sponsor of the American Woods Racing
Championship Series (AWRCS) for 2006. The AWRCS is
the fastest growing woods racings series in America,
attracting a growing number of pro and amateur riders
and sponsors from the motorcycle and ATV industry.
With 300-400 riders participating at its events, the
infant AWRCS series has already proven its popularity.
In 2006 the AWRCS will host ten two-day
events offering a full day each for quads and motorcycles.
The full schedule, which is designed not to conflict
with other cross-country series, is available at:
www.awrcs.com,
and inquiries can be sent to: awrcs@yahoo.com.
Pirelli is the first tire manufacturer to offer contingency
support for racers in the AWRCS series, and will be
doing it for both motorcycle and ATV classes. Tire
support at each event will be provided by Rick Thompson’s
Grove City Motorsports. In addition to sponsoring
the AWRCS series, Pirelli is sponsoring the defending
ATV champion, pro racer Johnny Gallagher.
Matt Thornton, Pirelli ATV Sales Manager, said, “We’re
stoked to take such an important role in AWRCS’s
cross-country racing program. They have shown huge
growth already and look to have a great future ahead
of them. With our totally new ATV racing tire, the
Race Rail XC just being released, the timing was perfect
for us to become a significant player in this promising
program.”
