Santo Derisi I am sure would love to erase last year from his memory as far as racing goes. His accident at a local race left him battered and broken and he quickly found himself falling well off the pace. Working himself back would be no easy task but Derisi is a veteran of many battles and knows quiting isn't an option.
Sticking with a tried and true set up, Derisi turned to Moto-Xperts for a reliable and powerfull engine set up this season. Combining the power with his own brand of suspension parts, Derisi wants to have a solid season and get back to where he wants to be, and thats as close to the leader as possible!
Santo has his work cut out for him, but no matter how he finishes, he is one great guy to have in our series and is always ready to lend a hand to anyone in need.
Coming off his best GNCC XC1 class season ever, Brian Cook looks primed to back it all up as we kick off 2009.
Cook had something to prove last year, and he did just that as he secured the #5 plate after an incredibly hard fought battle that started at round #1 last year. For the Carolina native, seeing the big money and attention given to others had him fueled to do even more as he privateered his team into the limelight. His results garnered him some much needed support for this season and now that he has a taste of success, I dont look for him to slack off for one minute this season.
Gabe Phillips is another rider that will be providing us an inside look at his season as we head into the season. I have been watching Gabe race for several years now and have watched him progress to the Pro AM class so it will be exciting for me to not only hear from him each round, but to see if we cant help him support his sponsors in the process.
We did so many photoshoots that fitting them all in just isnt going to happen in a single coverage thread. We would also like to extend the offer for doing more shoots at upcoming rounds to anyone interested and it doesnt matter what class you are running, just send me a pm or email bkperformance@peoplepc.com and tell me what round you will be available and if we can make it happen we will.
With the economy so bad, we really want to try and offer you all as much publicity as we can for yourself, current sponsors and future sponsors. Hopefully it will pay off for your efforts!
The practice session at the opening round really adds to the event. It gives everyone a chance to double check thier set up and dial in thier suspension for the sandy conditions.
Chris Borich was looking smoking fast during his time on the course, and it was very apparent his off season was spent training, riding and getting his Rockstar Suzuki primed for another run at a championship.
Derec Robinson takes a look at his sand filled roost as he powers out of a corner. This is as close to dune riding as it gets for some of us so we have to take it when we can
