Tracy, CA (12/17/2007) - Team
Teixeira Racing took the overall Sportsman
Championship for the Best in the Desert 2007
Silver State Series. Teammates Ed Teixeira
and Todd Hunter started the series off on
a hybrid KTM 525R, and finished the last four
races on a Teixeira built Honda TRX 450R.
The Team had a good run early on in the series,
but it was winning the TSCO Vegas to Reno
on the Honda that pushed them ahead in class
points. Teixeira and Hunter then began the
battle for the Grand Championship, leading
the points chase up until the last race, and
then losing out to the Pro Honda Factory team
by only 3 points.
The Teixeira Racing Team of Derek McCabe,
Bill Baier and Jason Sparks, were the
highest scoring team in the Amateur class
on a Yamaha YFZ 450. This team had a really
rough season, but pulled it all together
for a great win at the last race in the
series.
Team Teixeira Racing would like to thank
all of its sponsors for a great 2007 season.
Without the reliable products from these
companies, the team would not have been
able to take these 2 championships. After
racing over 1500 miles of treacherous
desert terrain, Ed & Todd had absolutely
no mechanical problems the whole year.
This is due to the quality of the products
put out by the companies listed below.
