Yoshimura Prepares for 2007 ATV Racing
Season
Chino, CA - (2/28/2007) -Yoshimura racing
activities are gearing up to a fever pitch. March is always
a hectic time as all disciplines of racing activities
collide at once.
In AMA Pro Road Racing, Daytona is set to kick the
year off with a bang. Last year's Champion Ben Spies
is ready to defend his crown against multi-time champion
and teammate Mat Mladin, as well as new team member
Tommy Hayden. All three of the GSX-R1000 Suzuki riders
set fast times at the recent Fontana tests, setting
the mark for others to shoot at.
In Supercross, Team Rockstar/WBR/Suzuki is keeping
Yoshimura plenty busy. Michael Byrne is currently running
5th in the Supercross title chase. The Satoshi Momma
tuned RM-Z450 is plenty fast and Byrne is twisting the
grip.
In the Supercross Lites class, the East Coast leg of
the series has started up with Kelly Smith and Teammate
Andrew McFarland looking for podium finishes. In Supercross
Lites West, Troy Adams continues to make consistent
top ten finishes. The RM-Z250 Suzuki Lites bikes have
proven to be lightening fast and very competitive.
The MSR/Pro-Taper/Suzuki/Yoshimura ATV racing team
is in race mode heading into the ATVA opening round
in Pell City, Alabama. Perennial champion Doug Gust
is ready to rip alongside new teammate Dustin Wimmer
for the WPSA title chase. The new sponsorship package
has created a new look for the 4 wheeled racers, hopefully
the same results will be revisited.
In house, Yoshimura ATV Brand Manager Kory Ellis is
attacking the ITP Quad Cross series. Kory is coming
off a big win at the Arizona round and has a good points
lead heading into the third race of the series.
In off road racing, the new Gary Jones/Yoshimura team
is forming up. Team rider Casey Johnson has turned in
some impressive rides this season and now stands 4th
overall in the prestigious WORCS series. The RM-Z450
has turned out to be quite a capable mount for off-road
as well as MX.
Look for the Yoshimura marque at a race near you.
