• 2009 Baja 1000

  • From: jburns
  • Description:

    The 42nd annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 is this weekend in Ensanda, Mexico. NASCAR racer Robby Gordon will look to earn the overall series title along with a 1000 victory, but there are a number of great teams that will be looking for that ellusive 1000 victory. Anyone planning on going this year? What are your thoughts on Baja in general with some of the security issues in recent years. I started a discussion on the message board here. Hop on and give your two cents on the race and Baja in general. I'm curious to hear what the off-road community thinks of this changing off-road locale.

• Halloween

  • From: Younggun95

    I was a little bit of a failure this weekend in the way of Media. I have no video or pictures to show from my weekend in Dumont. I dumbly forgot my helmet cam... and so did a couple other friends that have them. And its just too hard to carry my camera out when I go ride.

    I found a few jumps. Nothing spectacular. A couple of the same jumps from last year. Spotted a dirtbike doing a 130+ ft double with a gap in the middle. I didn't have the cajones to even make a run at it.

    One night we spent a while watching a group of drunk people try and get their trucks un-stuck behind competition. First a Toyota dug in and decided to just keep spinning the wheels until they were completely barried. They brought another truck, broke the front driveline and barried that one also. One more truck and tried to pull the second one out at an angle instead of straight... no surprise, another one stuck. Somehow found another truck and pulled the third out. Then get that one stuck again trying to turn around to give another pull. Found an even bigger truck, managed to pull a few of them out, then broke the driveline in that one also. At one point, had 4 trucks stuck plus another pulling. One vehicle of every major brand stuck, a few too many beers, no real tow straps, and all in the middle of the night.

    Seemed like there wasn't all that many people out there...

    Anyone else got any good stories from the desert, sand, snow, or mountains during Halloween?

• Roczen Clinches ADAC MX Master

  • From: PowersportsEditor
  • Description:

    Team Suzuki Press Office - October 13.
    
    
    Team Teka Suzuki Europe World MX2 finished the German ADAC MX Masters Series' final round in Hoechstaedt on top with Ken Roczen taking overall victory and team mate Xavier Boog third place in the Championship.
    
    
    In front of 8,000 fans at the KTM-Ring's sandy circuit, Roczen claimed his second win of this season on his RM-Z250 leaving no chance to Red Bull KTM Factory riders Max Nagl and Rui Goncalves.
    
    Nagl and Steve Ramon (Teka Suzuki) retired in race one as Roczen took the lead and win in front of Boog. Daniel Siegl completed the team's great performance by finishing fifth.
    
    In race two, Roczen had a good start, caught up to the front-runners easily and finished third, while Boog claimed fifth place. Siegl still had the chance to finish sixth in the Championship after race one, but in the second race his machine suffered a technical problem and he finished seventh.
    
    After winning the ADAC MX Youngster Cup last year, Roczen finished his ADAC MX Masters' debut season second overall and became the best-ever Rookie in history of the series.
    
    Ken Roczen:
    
    "It's been a hard season, but the best I ever had; experienced so much; had  some terrific races and stayed unhurt. I am really happy and finishing the season with a victory is great. Next year I'll try to continue my progress, but right now, I'm having a few days of vacation."
    
    Xavier Boog:
    
    "This was my last big race for Teka Suzuki Europe World MX2 and I'm really happy that I could secure third place in the Championship. I had problems with my appendix earlier this year, which cost me a lot of points in the middle of the season, but fortunately it worked out. A big thank you to all my sponsors, my mechanic, the team and my family. These have been two great years.
    
    
    Daniel Siegl:
    
    "I'm considerably disappointed. I had the real chance to finish sixth in the Championship, but I couldn't finish race two due to a technical problem. That's really annoying because I missed it by just one point."
    
    
    Thomas Ramsbacher - Team Manager:
    
    "What a season! We've had top-five in the MX2 World Championship and Larissa Papenmeier became Vice World Champion. In the national championship, Larissa won the Ladies Cup and Ken finished second and Xavier third in the MX Masters Series. That's definitely a lot more than I've expected. A big thank you to the riders and the whole team who worked perfectly together and made these great results possible. We can't wait for the start of the next season and there'll be a winter of hard testing, but everybody is already looking forward for our preparations for 2010 to achieve our goal."

• Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Vill

  • From: PowersportsEditor
  • Description:
    Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto had a very successful return to racing after having knee surgery in June. The 21-year-old rider won two head-to-head battles, two heat races and finished second in Saturday night’s main event to finish fourth overall. Josh Hansen rode for Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki and finished 12th overall after being involved in first turn incidents both nights. In the 85cc Invitational, Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green’s™ Adam Cianciarulo and Thomas Covington finished second and third respectively.

    Late Decision

    Villopoto and the team didn’t originally plan on racing the U.S. Open. After two good weeks of riding at the Kawasaki practice track, a last minute decision was made to enter the event. Despite the short notice, Villopoto showed he would be a contender winning his one-on-one and heat race on Friday night. In the main event, he was running fifth and moving up through the field when he hit a tuff block and bent his shift lever back to the foot peg forcing him to retire early. Most of Saturday was a repeat of Friday as Villopoto once again swept his head-to-head battle and heat race. In the main event, he narrowly missed the holeshot, but took the lead in the next corner and led the first half of the race. By the checkered flag he was second place and despite Friday’s DNF, he just missed an overall podium position.
    
    “Saturday night was a lot better for me,” said Villopoto. “I got a good start in the main event and built up a bit of a lead. With only two weeks of riding I’m still not in race shape. I was only really able to charge for the first half of the race.”

    Back in the Saddle
    Villopoto’s return to racing could not have come at a more difficult event. The small, tight track forces riders to be perfect because every little mistake adds up.
    
    “A track like this makes it difficult to come right in and race,” said Villopoto. “The track was so tight; I was working every second of every lap. This track had everything a supercross track has only in a smaller stadium. It was a good second night for me and I’m glad I got a race in before Anaheim 1.”
    Runner-up
    Cianciarulo came into the 85cc invitational as the favorite and after Friday’s race he looked to be in position to bring home the gold boot awarded to the winner. On Saturday he rode a strong race, but contact all the way down the start straight kept him from getting a good start. In the short race, Cianciarulo was able to catch the leader on the final lap, but he couldn’t get by and had to settle for second.
    
    “I got hit right at the start and came out of the first corner in the back,” said Cianciarulo. “I moved into second pretty quick and started catching the leader. It was a pretty short race and I just ran out of time at the end. I had a lot of fun at the U.S. Open. Winning the race on Friday night gave me confidence heading into Saturday. Getting a good start was important and we just got tangled right out of the gate. I’m a little disappointed I didn’t go 1-1.”
    Podium Finish
    After battling for a fifth place result on Friday night, Covington raced to the podium on Saturday to finish third in both the 85cc invitational race and overall.
    
    “The U.S. Open is so much fun,” said Covington. “The tracks both nights were very different. On Friday it was more difficult and on Saturday it was high speed. I need to work on my starts, but I’m happy with a podium finish.”
    Hard Days Night
    The U.S. Open was a classic case of Hansen riding better than he finished as he was one of the quicker qualifiers in practice and he advanced to the main event from his heat race each night. During both main events, Hansen was caught in first turn mishaps that put him in last place.
    
    “I had a lot of bad luck this weekend,” said Hansen. “I went down in both main events during first turn pile-ups. I rode pretty well. It is hard to move up on a tight track like we race on at the Open.”
