Brad Goolsby takes on 2010 racing season with Wossner pistons

Coming into 2010 I am really optimistic about the racing season.  In 2009 I won the WORCS Open A Championship, finished 3rd in the WORCS 450 A Championship, and 6th in the WORCS Pro 2 Championship and look to better those results this year.  Once again I will be backed by Kawasaki Team Green John Burr Cycles.  We have created a strong relationship over the past years and look to tackle this season head on!...

NICK BURSON & HUSQVARNA WIN ELSINORE GP ON WAY TO USDR TITLE

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 it’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”.
