Brad Lackey Statement about Danny Chandler’s Passing
Posted by: | Comments
FULLERTON, CA – It is with mixed emotions that I write to Danny’s friends and the world. While we are all extremely saddened by the sudden passing of our friend and my little motocross brother, we are also happy that Danny is at peace now. He is probably already looking at how to turn one cloud’s double into a triple and see if he can do it with one foot off and one hand off his bent handlebar!

Coming Soon? KTM Fuel Injected Two Stroke
Posted by: | CommentsIt appears that KTM has Fuel Injection ready for two stroke motocross bikes. In the August 2008 issue of Motocross Digital magazine (free subscription available at http://www.motocrossdigital.com/ ) was the following blurb about the KTM effort.

The 250SX could have a bright future, it depends on what happens regarding the rules and regulations: KTM wants them to be introduced to MX2 to allow teams that don’t have millionaire budget to compete against the 4-strokes. For the 2-stroke, the injection is ready, and this would provide cleaner and precise power delivery.
While the idea of fuel injection for two-strokes has been talked about and discussed, there has been little to indicate that it would be workable on a racing two-stroke motocross bike. This news points to the fact that KTM has been working on it for quite some time and seems to have solved the issues that prevented fuel injection for racing two-strokes.
Since this article in Motocross Digital was written some changes have been announced in the FIM rules to allow two-strokes to compete with four-strokes in MX2 (250cc). There are also rumblings that this rule will be applied to the AMA Outdoor Nationals for 2009.
So there is a good chance the Fuel Injected 250SX KTM will be hitting the tracks in the very near future. This is great news for all the two stroke fans of the world.
Two thumbs up for the folks at KTM!
KTM Contingency Program with XTRM
Posted by: | CommentsKTM has expanded its grassroots contingency program with XTRM Sports Network for 2010.
In addition to Off Road, MX and ATV, KTM have added Road Racing and professional Motocross, Arenacross and Supercross to their 2010 program. The 2010 Road Race Contingency Program rewards everyone from weekend racers to experienced professionals for their racing success with KTM. This grassroots contingency program will cover the entire United States with 7 regional road racing series and 21 racing classes.
KTM will be using XTRM’s industry leading online automated contingency payout and sponsorship system. The proprietary system tracks results and payout schedules electronically, plus ranks athletes with a unique ranking and ratification system. This will allow KTM to automatically pay winning athletes with KTM bucks, discounts and even cash. Everything is done with a few clicks of the button on XTRM’s website. As a result, KTM’s brand is associated with not only winning athletes and teams, but also a company that takes their contingency seriously.
KTM road racers are encouraged to sign up for the contingency program at www.xtrm.com/ktm for an opportunity to stake claim to their share of the 2010 contingency. Once all race series schedules are finalized, racers will be able to log on and review the eligibility requirements, race classes covered and earn KTM Cash.
