Press Release –

The “king of helmets” is dead, long live the king!

AGV founder Gino Amisano passed away June 30th in Nervi, Italy after a brief battle with bronchial pneumonia. “While many young people may not recognize his name, ‘Ginetto’ was a legend not only in Italy but also the entire racing world,” says AGV Helmets U.S. head, Paolo Bacchiarello. “Champions from Giacomo Agostini (right photo) and Kenny Roberts right up through current MotoGP frontrunner Valentino Rossi have worn AGV as Signor Amisano was one of the first people to believe that motorsports sponsorships made for a great vehicle to advertise your company.”

Amisano lived most of his 89 years in Valenza Po “The City Of Gold” where he founded a bicycle seat business in 1946. However his Midas touch for branding came when he added the AGV logo to a line of leather racing helmets in 1948.

In fact, the logo is literally his initials and his beloved City Of Gold – Amisano Gino Valenza – over the top of the tricolore Italian flag. In addition to being a shrewd marketer, Amisano’s helmets always featured the latest technological advances and AGV produced the very first fiberglass racing helmets back in 1953.

The superior safety and Ginetto’s genial negotiating skills saw top motorcycle racers and Formula 1 drivers alike fly the AGV colors for the next six decades.

Signor Amisano always had an eye for talent, so it is no surprise that 7-time MotoGP champ Valentino Rossi (pictured below at the Oct. 2008 Valencia MotoGP) has always worn AGV helmets. Ginetto met Valentino back in 1996 when Giampiero Sacchi (now sports director at Aprilia) wanted to start a 125GP race team for a bushy haired youngster named Rossi. Good choice as Vale just won his 100th Grand Prix victory!

In later years, Amisano sold his company and planned to live a quiet retirement growing grapes and making wine… of course that didn’t last long.

Ever the sportsman, Amisano also became president of the Alessandria Football Club (soccer for you in the U.S.). “Although he was retired from the business, Ginetto always took an active interest in AGV, and he was overjoyed when two of the biggest legends in protective gear merged in 2007 as AGV and Dainese merged,” remembers Paolo Bacchiarello.

Press Release –

With championship pressure mounting, Rockstar/Makita/Yoshimura Suzuki’s Defending AMA Pro ATV MX Champion Dustin Wimmer made a major statement by grabbing two come-from-behind moto victories and the overall win at round eight of the 2009 ITP Tires/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship presented by Parts Unlimited. Tennessee’s Muddy Creek Raceway hosted the event, which also served as round seven of the ATVA amateur tour.

“I felt great,” said Wimmer, who also grabbed the ATVSource.com Top Qualifier Award. “I want to show these guys I can come back and be number one.”

Wimmer’s dramatic return to victory lane came less than two months after he dislocated his shoulder in a practice crash, and then lost the points lead while fighting to come back. In Tennesse, he started moto one in 11th place but charged through the pack.

He began the last lap in third place, but got around his teammate Gust for second, and then pressured Can-Am’s Jeremy Lawson for the lead. Wimmer nailed an inside line in a hard left-hand turn to get the lead from Lawson and win the moto by less than a second, with Gust right behind them in third. Current series’ leader Chad Wienen, also suffering from a bad start, took fourth on his Monster Energy/Kawasaki ahead of Can-Am rider Cody Miller.

Veteran Honda rider Joe Byrd, also a title contender, grabbed the MotorcycleUSA.com holeshot award in the first moto, but he eventually dropped to eighth. Byrd led the points standings mid-way through the season, but he is now struggling with an injury.

In moto two, Wimmer started slightly better in fourth, with Harold Goodman grabbing the MotorcycleUSA.com holeshot award ahead of Josh Upperman. Wimmer soon passed his teammate Gust for third, then tracked down the lead Honda riders to snag the top spot. He then cruised to his fourth win of the year, with teammate Gust making it a 1-2 Suzuki sweep.

“I’ve been training hard at home, and each race I get a little better and better,” said Gust. “The whole team is working hard, we have an engineer here from Japan, he has really helped tune the bikes. Also, my girlfriend and my family came out, they helped me go.”

Wienen had another bad start and fought to another fourth-place finish. “I call it a salvage weekend for me,” said the series points leader. “My jumps out of the gate were good, the first moto I kind of wheelied out of the gate a little. I got really lucky to not get hung up, I was locked in with people both times, but we came apart. I had to put my work in, it was tough with the hot conditions.”

Now with just a five-point lead over Wimmer, Wienen is prepared for the stretch run. “I’m more than confident I can put this together,” said Wienen. “If I start near Dustin, it will come down to who wants it more, and I believe that with my team behind me, I think I have the upper hand, for starting where I did and coming through like I did this weekend, I think it shows I want it pretty bad.”

Wimmer can hold his comeback from injury up as proof of his desire, and expectations are high for a dramatic championship battle between the two riders over the final three rounds.

Lawson took fourth overall on the day, following his runner-up ride in moto one with a ninth in moto two. Upperman’s 9-3 landed him in fifth.

Frenchman Jermie Warnia took fifth in moto two, landing him in seventh overall behind Goodman. Cody Miller was eighth on his Can-Am, followed by Byrd’s 8-8 scores, and Yamaha’s Thomas Brown rounded out the top ten.
Cody Grant topped Cody Gibson and Bobby Ross in the Pro-Am Production class.

The series continues on July 18 and 19 with the Pleasure Valley National produced by Cernic’s Racing in Armagh, Pennsylvania.

Press Release –

There were a lot of questions to be answered at Sunday’s eighth round of the AMA Pro ATV National Championship Series.

Would defending champion and Rockstar/Makita/Yoshimura/Suzuki rider Dustin Wimmer be able to come back from his shoulder injury and win? Would “Digger” Doug Gust continue his hot streak?

All these questions (and more) were answered by the end of the day in Blountville, Tennessee.

The night before the race, the Muddy Creek racetrack was heavily watered and then later that night a downpour hit the area.

The riders were a bit concerned but race-day dawned hot and humid. The temperatures were in the ’90s with high humidity and the track dried out before practice was over and was in great shape for the start.

The race was obviously going to be a test of man and machine. Wimmer, still recovering from shoulder surgery a short time ago, was going to have to dig deep to pull off a win. Teammate and legendary racer “Digger” Doug Gust, who has recently been on fire, is always a threat. The rougher the conditions, the better Gust usually does. With the heat and humidity surrounding this event – Gust was going to be a factor.

“My Rockstar/Makita/Yoshimura/Suzuki is working great and I feel great!” Gust said before the start. “I guess I’m going to have to show some of these kids out here how it’s done. My goal for the day is to get on the box and keep the points coming. I’m riding good and my quad is just perfect – I’m looking to a podium.”

At the start of the first moto both Wimmer and current points leader Chad Wienen had starts outside the top ten. It looked for sure that neither would be a factor in moto one. Meanwhile, Gust made some quick moves and mauled his way up into 4th place by the end of lap one. Wimmer quickly began his incredible charge forward. He was passing people in groups and looked to be at another level above the other riders.

Gust was really on form and this race showcased his talent. On lap two, the veteran speedster moved up to third and was riding fast, smooth and aggressive. A top finish looked to be in the cards for “Digger” as he passed another rider and moved into second.

Wimmer still working his way forward, was running lap times a full second faster then anyone else on the track! By the 4th lap he had moved the Rockstar/Makita/ Yoshimura/Suzuki QuadRacer R-450 up to 6th place and it was obvious that he wanted more.

Another few laps and Wimmer was past the 4th place rider and up into 3rd place. He was also fast closing on teammate Gust, who in turn was closing on the race leader. With the white flag out, Wimmer pulled out all the stops and passed first Gust and then the leader for the win! The Champ pulled it off, eleventh place to first. Looks like the champ is back!

“I kinda screwed up the start a little,” Wimmer said after Moto One. “It motivated me to forget about everything else and focus on catching up. I was fortunate and rode well and ended up grabbing the win. Hopefully I can put my Suzuki back on top in Moto Two and pull it off today.”

The start of Moto Two saw Yoshimura-sponsored Harold Goodman snag the holeshot with Gust in third and Wimmer right behind him in fourth. By the end of lap one, Wimmer made a good move and passed teammate Gust for third.

In lap two, Wimmer passes into second place, his Yoshimura-powered Suzuki QuadRacer R450 screaming past the second place rider like he was tied to a post.

At the start of lap four, Wimmer makes the pass for the lead and instantly pulls ahead. Again, Wimmer is running lap times a full second faster then anyone else on the track. Both Wimmer and Gust’s LT-Rs seem to be on rails and the smooth power delivery and purpose built chassis seem to hook up where the others struggle.

“Digger” Doug Gust was in fourth but right on the third place rider. Gust was finding lines where no one else was even looking. Combine his experience and race-crafting skills with raw speed and Gust always comes up as a threat to win.

At the three-quarter mark, Gust passed up to third place and was closing ground on the second place rider. Wimmer was cruising at a nice pace out front maintaining his gap over second.

The last lap white flag waved just as Gust passed into second! Both Suzuki riders were on the gas and at the checkers it was Wimmer first, teammate Gust second – a Suzuki one-two for moto two, and one-two overall on the day for Team Rockstar/Makita/Yoshimura/Suzuki. The win puts Wimmer only 5 points behind the series leader.

“It feels really good to be winning again,” Wimmer said after the event. “The shoulder injury was really frustrating. We put in a lot of hard work and I’m feeling pretty good now, not 100% but getting back close again. Next round I’ll be there!”

Gust was happy with his podium finish: “My goal was to be up on the box so I feel good about that. Only one more step to go, so we’ll work on that for the next race. I love it that Team Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki/Yoshimura went one-two today. There’s nothing else as good as a Yoshimura-powered QuadRacer R450 out there.”

Final results for Muddy Creek event:

1st- Dustin Wimmer Team Rockstar/Makita/Yoshimura/Suzuki
2nd Doug Gust Team Rockstar/Makita/Yoshimura/Suzuki
3. Chad Wienen

In addition to Wimmer, Media All-Stars ace Pro-Am rider Cody Grant scored the overall win aboard his Yoshimura-equipped QuadRacer in both the unlimited and the production classes.

Press Release –

Going into this race, everyone knew it was going to be tough. The newly configured 20-mile (twice the length of a normal GNCC event) course was a serious track that featured everything.

Big elevation changes, mud, rocks, multiple lines and a neat start in town, were just some of the features. Before the event even started, many were comparing this to the infamous Blackwater events of years past.

Team Rockstar/Makita/Yoshimura/Suzuki rider Chris Borich rolled into the round nine event of the Grand National Cross Country Series with a healthy point lead.

He also knew that one mistake on a course like this and a healthy lead could turn into a deficit in a hurry.

Borich and his Rockstar/Makita/Yoshimura/Suzuki team were prepared and they were all looking forward to the event.

At the start of the race Borich was up front but missed a turn in the middle of the first lap. By the time he got back on course had fallen way back to ninth place. He would have his work cut out for him for sure.

By lap three, Borich had moved back into the lead of the XC-1 Pro Class and was riding strong. The fuel injection on his Rockstar/Makita/Yoshimura/Suzuki QuadRacer R450 was a definite advantage.

Borich seemed to be getting traction in places where the others were struggling. The Yoshimura power was a big help as well. Some of the hills on this course were nearly vertical so having a lot of power on tap was important. As it turned out, that extra power put him over the line in first place less than a second ahead.

“We had a good time out there,” Borich said enjoying an ice cold Rockstar from the victory podium. “I just wanted to get out and not worry about the points. We’re sitting pretty right now. My Suzuki worked so good, it never missed a beat and this was one tough race.”

The series will continue in September after the Summer Break.

Can-Am ATV Racers Take Podium And Top Six Spots In Morning Overall

The Snowshoe GNCC race is recognized as the roughest of the 13-round GNCC championship. The ski resort backdrop provides rocky, mountainous terrain, which is a test for both rider and ATV. Can-Am™ was ready for the test as the first six ATVs across the morning finish line were all Can-Am ATVs, beating more than 275 other racers.

Can-Am / Warnert Racing rider Michael Swift took the overall win aboard his Can-Am Outlander™ 800R EFI ATV, continuing his nine-for-nine win streak in the 4×4 Limited class. Can-Am Renegade® 800R EFI ATV racer, and Can-Am X-Team member, Jeremie Dudding, won the U2 class and took second overall. Dudding’s teammate, Scott Kilby, won the 4×4 Open class and took third overall on his Outlander 800R.

“It is always a great day when we can sweep a GNCC podium,” says Jimmie O’Dell, Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. “But to see the top six spots really is a testament to the preparation and training our racers put forth week after week; the Snowshoe GNCC will reward hard work and maximum effort.”

In other classes, Warnert Racing’s Cliff Beasley took the 4×4 Lites win on his Outlander 500 EFI. The afternoon session saw Warnert’s Chris Bithell leading the XC1 Pro class on his DS 450™ EFI on the penultimate lap of the race, but a untimely bottleneck caused him to drop behind the leaders and finish sixth in his class.

Heading into the GNCC summer break, Swift has already clinched the 4×4 Limited championship. Can-Am is also leads the championship race in the 4×4 Open, 4×4 Lites and U2 classes.

In other racing action, Team Motoworks / Can-Am racer Jeremy Lawson took fourth overall at the AMA Pro ATV Motocross National in Tennessee. In the AMA Pro class, Lawson finished second in the first moto on his DS 450. Two other Can-Am DS 450 racers finished in the pro top 10: Motoworks racer Jeremie Warnia took seventh overall while Warnert’s Cody Miller took eighth. In Canada, Can-Am X-Team racer Richard Pelchat took the overall in the Pro class at round 2 of the Canadian National Championship near Walton, Ontario.

The next GNCC race is the Can-Am Unadilla GNCC near Utica, NY on September 12. For more information on Can-Am racing, our 2009 contingency program and amateur DS 450 support program, please visit www.can-amxteam.com.

New Site is Resource for Accurate Information; Encourages Enthusiast and Industry Support

Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., has launched www.TruthAboutRhino.com. The new Web site has been created to provide accurate information about Yamaha and its Rhino Side-by-Side (SxS) vehicles, to combat a recent flurry of inaccurate information and negative advertisements targeting the vehicle, and to encourage Rhino customers and the off-road industry to show their support for the SxS segment.

From the original 2004 Rhino 660 introduction to present day, TruthAboutRhino.com documents key points in the history of the vehicle. Some sections of the site offer Yamaha’s safety recommendations and product specifications, while others highlight the many awards and accolades that the Rhino has received. Visitors to the site can find Yamaha history and general corporate background, and Rhino customers and enthusiasts can “Rally Around the Rhino” by filling out an online form or emailing messages or questions to: info@truthaboutrhino.com.

“With TruthAboutRhino.com, Yamaha has created a home for accurate information about our company and the Rhino product line, and we’re encouraging our customers and the industry to show their support,” said Steve Nessl, Marketing Manager for Yamaha’s ATV & SxS Group. “We’ve seen a disproportionate amount of negative and inaccurate information distributed recently, so we wanted to create a place where our customers, the general public and the news media can get the real facts.”

The new Web site includes background information on Yamaha and the Rhino, details on the March 31, 2009, Consumer Product Safety Commission repair program announcement (which has been inaccurately described as a recall), and provides a platform for Rhino fans and off-road enthusiasts in general to show their support.

“What has been lost in the firestorm of negative, inaccurate information about the Rhino is that the vast majority of our customers and SxS enthusiasts absolutely love their vehicles and its role in pioneering the SxS segment in the industry,” Nessl said. “In reality, statistics show that more than 99 percent of Rhino customers have never reported any claim or incident, a fact never mentioned in the plaintiff attorney ads or Web sites where they troll for new clients. We decided it was time to create a home online for ourselves where accurate information about our vehicle can be found.”

Yamaha’s Rhino safety recommendations and guidelines, which are posted on TruthAboutRhino.com, include:

· Drivers must be 16 years or older and have a valid motor vehicle license. Children under 16 should never drive a Rhino.
· To ride in a Rhino, a passenger must be tall enough to place both feet flat on the floorboard with his or her back against the seat back and be able to reach the passenger hand holds.
· Driver and passenger should always wear seatbelts and protective gear/clothing including: Helmet, Eye protection, Gloves, Over-the-ankle boots, Long sleeves and Long pants.
· Drivers and passengers should stay completely inside the vehicle at all times.
· Rhinos are designed for off-road use only. They should never be operated on public roads or paved surfaces.
· As with any motor vehicle, safety features are no substitute for driving responsibly. Avoid aggressive or reckless use of the Rhino.
· For more safety recommendations, please check out the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association web site at: www.ROHVA.org.

Some customer and fan feedback is also already posted on the site, including a video compilation from the most recent Rhino Rally in Glamis. Yamaha plans to update the site on a regular basis with more news, fun events, photos, videos and comments from the public.

“Rhino customers are our biggest supporters and the most enthusiastic about SxS vehicles and Yamaha,” Nessl said. “We look forward to their feedback on the TruthAboutRhino.”
