PRESS RELEASE

POST RACE REPORT FROM BALLANCE MOTOX ATVA GNC

Casey Martin and Carrie Auchter Results

Due to another engine failure early in the week Casey was once again riding a practice

bike. During the Pro Am Unlimited qualifying heat Casey was running behind lap traffic

and was pushed into the LCQ. Things were looking up during the LCQ when he came from

mid-pack to take over the third spot and get into the main event. Despite an in air

collision with another rider Casey was able to hold on and finish strong. In the final

moto Casey was once again underpowered, he was third out of the gate but was left

towards mid pack by the first turn. After that he picked off riders until he was

holding the sixth place spot. On the final lap his engine let loose and the weekend

was over. Casey's only statement was, "It's frustrating. The bike felt good, it simply

couldn't handle the demand I was putting on it. Hopefully by the next race I'll be

back on a race bike and salvage a tough season."

Carrie got an overall 5th in the Women's class. After missing practice on Friday

Carrie continued to pick up speed and finish with better lap times each time around

picking off riders where possible. "The track was great! I had a heavy vibration in

the bars from the engine for some reason but the Precision dampener helped keep my

bars straight when my arms got tired." Remarked Carrie after pulling off the track

from moto 2.

We are also pleased to announce two new sponsors. In light of some parts supply issues

and engine reliability problems effective immediately we have teamed up with JB Racing

(www.jbatvracing.com) and Moto-Xperts (www.moto-xperts.com). As a team we feel like

this will help put us and all of our current sponsors in a better position to win on

race day.
