Joel Balchin re-signs with Suzuki for 2008

Written by www.fullnoise.com.au

High-flying Australian freestyle motocross star Joel Balchin has re-signing with Suzuki Motorcycles again for 2008.
Balchin will continue to wow crowds locally and globally aboard a Suzuki RM250 as part of numerous events and demonstrations, including the 2 Wheel Moto Mayhem Motorcycle Games, in which Balchin finished fourth in Melbourne last weekend.

Balchin's fourth year aboard a Suzuki, 2008 looks set to be a busy one with Crusty Demons tours of the United Kingdom and Australia already on the schedule for the first quarter.

Balchin will continue to utilise the expertise of Jay Foreman Racing; the team behind the Australian factory Team Shift Motul Suzuki off-road outfit will prepare his RM250.

"I'm really looking forward to 2008 and continuing my partnership with Suzuki," Balchin said.

"It's going to be a full on year. We've got some Crusty Demons shows in the U.K. in January, before a tour of Australian regional centres which will be huge; the Aussie crowds are always awesome.

"The Suzuki RM250 is a great all-round package for freestyle motocross. I love the power of the engine; four-strokes are the direction things are going in for racing, but two-strokes and their low-end power are perfect for what we do.

"Jay Foreman helps me a lot with the preparation of the bike and his knowledge of suspension, which is crucial in freestyle motocross, is second to none - it's great to have him involved." Balchin is sponsored by Suzuki, Shift, Motul, Tag Metals, Pro Circuit, Alpinestars, Utopia Optics, Balls Deep Boxers, Pod MX, Sikspak and Globe. This story is from www.fullnoise.com.au

Villopoto's the youngest rider ever to win it.

In only his second full season as a pro Villopoto had one of the most successful racing campaigns in AMA racing history. In February he clinched the 2007 AMA Supercross Lites West title. He then faced the biggest test of his young career in a season-long one-on-one battle with Monster Energy Kawasaki teammate Ben Townley in AMA Toyota Motocross Lites this summer. Villopoto went on to become the first to win the Motocross Lites class back-to-back since Ricky Carmichael did it in 1998. Villopoto closed 2007 by turning in a stunning performance at the Motocross of Nations in Budds Creek, Md., winning both motos in front of 75,000 fans to help the U.S. win the Chamberlain Trophy as the world's top motocross team.

Curtis sweeps motocross season

Written by www.fredericksburg.com KURT NICOLL

Perfect season? Been there, done that.

While the New England Patriots continue to pursue their quest to join the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only unbeaten teams in NFL history, Kacey Curtis was making her own run at a season of total perfection. Sixteen times the 12-year-old racer from Thornburg competed in Middle Atlantic Motocross Association-sanctioned races and each time she won. In successfully defending her mini-women open division crown, Curtis became the first racer to sweep all 16 events for a perfect score of 1,600.

The seventh-grader at Thornburg Middle School also did quite well in the 80A 7-11 (boys) class, posting 12 top-three finishes, including a series-high seven victories, to easily win the points title with 1,402 points. "Kasey is pretty remarkable," team mechanic Larry Emory admitted. "She has more heart and determination than any racer I've known.

"It's disastrous for her to finish second. She's out to win every time she races." The area in general did well in the MAMA series, which includes tracks in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia. Courtney Powell of Woodford finished fifth in the mini-women open class with 413 points. In the mini-women support (Ability 2 level) class, Amber Russnak of Spotsylvania placed first with 1,349 points, Tammy Lynn Posey of Stafford was fourth with 1,092 and Powell was eighth with 806.

Last week in Gainesville, Fla., Curtis suffered a sprained wrist after suffering a crash while competing in the supercross portion (on a smaller racing track) of the AMA Winter National Olympics, then came back two days later to post first-place finishes in both of her motocross races to top a field of 23 racers en route to the girls 9-13 crown.
