First ever win for Burson and a first Elsinore win for Husky in decades.

November 13, 2009 - Woodcliff Lake, NJ - With a championship almost in hand and the last race of the season just days away, most racers would be content to find a quiet place and hunker down before the final showdown. Not so for Zip-Ty Racing Husqvarna rider Nick Burson who’s zen was interrupted by a call from his boss Ty Davis, the owner and manager of Zip-Ty Racing.

Nick Burson"Ty suggested I race the Elsinore Grand Prix. I’d never entered the event before so I said ‘Why not?’ I hadn’t planned to race ‘til the USDR final but Elsinore is close to home and itâ€™d be good training if nothing else,” said Burson. “Now that it’s all over I’m glad that Ty called and proud to be able to list an Elsinore Grand Prix victory on my resume!”

Burson’s Elsinore race day began with a couple of Expert class laps that allowed he and Davis to prep Burson’s Husqvarna TXC 510 for the weekend’s main event The Harvey Mushman 100, which borrows its name from Steve McQueen who entered the 1970 Elsinore Grand Prix using the pseudonym. McQueen raced the event at the urging of then winner Malcolm Smith. The pair rode Husqvarna motorcycles and they both figured prominently in Bruce Brown’s 1970 epic film documentary “On Any Sunday”.

The final race of the WORCS series was held this last weekend in Mesquite, Nv, and it turned out to be an eventful one indeed. The track was super sandy and with no rain it was quite dry too. The WORCS crew did a great job of watering as much as they could but a good start would still be critical with portions of the track being really dusty.

I have always used different types of chapstick when on the mountain or road bike. The lips usually take a lot of damage from the sun, wind, and dehydration (which should never happen). The Brave Solider lip balm product has worked very well for these activities. The balm is easy to apply and is thick enough to last a very long before needing another application. I also enjoyed that the balm has very little to no taste. Fruity tastes can sometimes be irritable when trying to crank out a big effort…

Coming into this weekend, I knew I was prepared enough for a hot and tough weekend at Glen Helen Raceway. The track is known as a rough track that can throw you down to the ground in a heartbeat. This was my home track race since for me I only live 10 minutes away. I spent a lot of time testing at the track months before the race so I could have the best possible set up for this race. Unclassified I felt really good and super comfortable with the track. The track was almost the same as a local SRA GP race, so I was super happy. The 450A race started ok…

Endurox tablets

So not only does So Cal have some of the worst traffic to cycle through and we also have some of the hottest driest weather in the region. Well we can’t do much about the traffic but the weather we are able to cope with thanks to nutritional supplements and training our body’s natural ability to adapt. Personally I am not a huge fan of supplements of any kind. I think that eating right and finding the proper fuel for your body you will experience the greatest gains. That doesn’t mean I am not open to trying new things. A friend of mine sent me some samples of Endurox Excel Electrolyte replenisher. What does that long fancy name mean…

Taylor Robert wins last round of WORCS

October 1, 2009

The last round of the WORCS series took place in Mesquite Nevada. It is notorious for it's sand whoops. This year would be no exception. With no rain in the forcast, and temperatures in the 80's, there would be dust and silt. The DT1 air filters would be tested to the limit. A good start would be critical…

With one last WORCS race and Baja Looming on the Horizon, the 24 Hours
of Glen Helen almost seemed like a speed bump on the way to the other
races. What bike to use?, what riders?, was all decided just before
the race…

September 30, 2009

Things were looking good coming into this race. Taylor was on the mend from his finger injury and Robby and Jamie were healthy and ready to go. September is usually hot in Southern California, and this day was no exception. A big turn out made the course one of the roughest of the year. 36 Pros signed up to do battle.

Off the start, Jamie had a good jump and ran top 3. Taylor was next in 8th with Robby around 15th. About a half lap in, A bottle neck formed. The top 3 riders made it through clean, then it was all stop. Taylor and Robby were not so lucky as they were stopped so long, that most of the riders turned their motors off to wait. Then the Pro 2’s came and they along with a few Pros cut off this section. All was not well…

Killian Woder #313

Round 9 of the WORCS Series was held at the world famous Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino California. We were expecting it to be one of the toughest races due to the dry conditions and the fact that Southern California is the home of some of the fastest riders in the country. The weekend didn’t start out very good for Killian; he woke up Saturday morning with an upset stomach and couldn’t hold down any breakfast. He made it to the line for the 250f B and was able to get a pretty good start but his stomach just wouldn’t cooperate. He still managed a top 5 finish but was really worn out. After the race he threw up a few more times and then slept for a couple hours. He woke up feeling much better and was able to eat and drink a little. The Open B race found Killian back to his old self, he pulled a good start and rode a solid race with a 2nd place finish. Sunday tested Killian’s mechanics and support team. A radiator failure after the second lap forced a pit stop with Killian in 3rd. We want to thank Chris Goolsby and one of our team mate’s dads, Mark Lissor, for their expert help. We were able to fix the radiator issue…

accelerade-lemonlime-30

As of right now my plan is to complete the Redlands Bulldog Triathlon by myself. Now I barely have the fitness to even train for this kind of thing without supplements.

First on my list of priorities is hydration. I previously used Cytomax in my races and past training sessions but didn’t care for the cotton mouth it gave me. I am now devoted to Accelerade. The taste of the orange is delicious like orange soda but has less of a sugary taste and you notice slightly more salts. I have also tried the lemon lime with initially thinking it tasted similar to Alka-Seltzer, but using it a second time I came to like. It didn’t leave clumpy residue in my bottles or mold up after letting the bottles sit for a day. With Accelerade…
