New Daddy Rattray races to memorable victory at Southwick

DADDY RATTRAY RACES TO MEMORABLE VICTORY 28 August 2010 Ever since Tyla Rattray properly had his memory, motocross pretty much dominated his life. Scarcely a weekend went by that was not consumed by his passion, fighting mud, grime, dust, ruts, snow, rain, recalcitrant bikes and the opposition in his quest for ever more lofty achievements. Precious little was allowed to interfere, since Tyla, as all who know him well will testify, is single minded to the umpteenth degree. There have been many memorable moments along the way. Some soul-destroying setbacks. A Grand Prix victory here and there. A world title. Some race successes in the USA. An ample supply of candidates for most memorable race day, therefore. Yet we would hazard a guess that the events of 28 August 2010 are by now more or less indelibly engraved in the lobe of Tyla Rattray's brain catering for most memorable race days ,,, It all started some hours before the South African set foot on Southwick race park. At round 4 am Tyla's first born, Brooke Kayla Rattray, scored the day's first holeshot as she made her presence known. The little one was very considerate. Not only did she time the arrival for early morning so that mom Sam would not be kept from her household chores for too long, but she waited until the calendar clicked over to the 28th and her birth date could reflect dad's racing number. Tyla was of course not unaware of the impending arrival of the bundle of joy, and thus his day started early. There was still a full day of racing to wade through, however, as the tenth round of the AMA motocross championships would not move dates to accommodate his domestic circumstances. Southwick is a sandy track, and this would favour the former world champion. During his Grand Prix years he earned a rock solid reputation as a dancer on sand tracks. Although Southwick is not quite a deep sand monster such as one might encounter at, say, Lommel or Lierop en Europe, it still offers enough of a challenge to separate the (sand) men from the boys. Apart from his skills on the sand, Tyla is also a machine as far as endurance under these conditions is concerned. Many a rival has found this out the hard way. Where others flag, he peaks. Where others wallow, he dances. He is as relentless as a hon ey badger hunting for beehives, and equally as tough. Anyhow, for for fear of digressing too much, we shall return to the telling of our tale. So it came to pass, then, that the strawberry fresh daddy strode out on the track for his work day. There was a new gleam in his eye, a spring in his step and even more determination in his mind, if such a thing were possible. He disposed of the qualification formalities with some measure of success, posting the second fastest time, wi ht only teammate and series leader Christophe Pourcel trumping him buy a mere 3/10th 's of a second on the qualifying scoreboard. Despite his good gate pick , Tyla had a less than ideal launch in race one and joined the proceedings in eighth spot. He quickly made up a few positions, and by half race distance he was nicely placed in third position. The leading pair had by now created quite a bit of distance, but the aforesaid endurance now came to the fore and Tyla continues his relentless chase. Will Hahn was the next to fall before his expertly wielded Pro Circuit powered sword, and now it was only Trey Canard heading him. Race commentator Jeff Emig was running out of superlatives as he described Tyla's upmarch, and where the gap at one stage seemed unbridgeable, it was visibly shrinking with the end of the race approaching. Tyla was at this stage comfortably posting the fastest lap times of the race, and before long, Canard could feel his minty fresh breath in his neck. They went at it hammer at tongs, but ultimatel y, Canard prevailed, with Tyla crossing the line 0.411 seconds behind. It is a truism in motocross that he who finishes second in the first heat has all the power to influence his overall result for the day. A win in the second race would always rake the overall victory in. Tyla was mindful of this as he went to the line, but again his start was not optimal, although better than in the first race. Again he surged forward and there is perhaps no better indication of his frame of mind than the ease with which he dispatched runaway series leader Christophe Pourcel to move into second place. Again a lone Honda now led him, this time piloted by Justin Barcia. Tyla's growing popularity in the USA was glaringly evident by the fact that large portions of the US crowd were urging him on as he closed up on an American rider. Again he moved close enough to go into the clinch, but an error cost him some time and caused him to lose the tow. He finished second again, 3 secon ds adrift, but his pair of deuces were good enough to hoist him to the top of the overall podium. The crowd roared its approval as Tyla was called to the top. The joy of fatherhood and the glow of a race day victory sat well on his shoulders. Added to this, his efforts were enough to hoist him back up to third in the championship standings. Although he is some points behind series leader Pourcel, the last shots in the championship have by no means been fired yet, and there is still a possibility that he could vie for championship honours on his Monster Energy-backed machine. It was only his handily-placed ears that prevented Tyla's smile from going all around his head at the post race interview. "After the prize giving, I'm heading straight for the airport to take the earliest possible flight home," he beamed. "I'm gonna tell the pilot to gas it!!" After getting to know his new offspring, Tyla will be in full preparation for the last two rounds of the series. RESULTS 250 Class (Moto Finish) 1. Tyla Rattray, South Africa, Kawasaki (2-2) 2.

Michigan's Joey Crown on winning team for USA at the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship in France following winning Canadian National Championships at TransCan

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) congratulates Team USA, which raced to victory against the world's top junior riders at the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship, Aug. 22-24, in Dardon Gueugnon, France. The event included motocross prodigies from 34 nations competing for both individual and team FIM World Championships

American rider Jake Pinhancos took the victory in the 65cc class, Josh Mosiman was the top 85cc rider, finishing 11th overall, and Joey Savatgy placed second overall in the highly competitive 125cc class. Teams were ranked based on the finishing positions of their highest-placed rider in each class, with the lowest score winning. Team USA dominated the field with a total score of 14. Italy had the next lowest score at 23, and Team Australia rounded out the podium with a score of 25. 

"Putting together a team on such a limited budget was a major challenge, but we pushed on with the level of commitment that is necessary to establish our young stars," said AMA Motocross Manager Kip Bigelow, who was the U.S. delegate for the event and a driving force to send a U.S. team this year. "As a racer my whole life, I know that dedication and teamwork are essential to success, and I am proud of all of these riders and look forward to seeing them excel not only in motocross but in life. I would like to thank the NAMU [North American Motorcycle Union], the FIM, the AMA, MX Sports and especially the families of the riders for all their support." 

American Suzuki's Brian Noah managed Team USA. He added that the win would not have happened without teamwork. 

"This past week in France could not have turned out any better for a first year presence," Noah said. "Everyone on the team worked together better than I could have ever imagined, and our first place overall finish for Team USA was a true testament to this. I hope with the AMA's continued support this success will only strengthen our commitment to this event so that we can continue to show the world that our amateur riders are some of the best in the world." 

Noah also thanked those who contributed to the effort, including the riders, the family members, the Bonamigo Performances team, Dunlop, Answer Racing, Fox Racing, MSR, Thor MX, Richard Clarke and Kreg Bigelow." 

The U.S. team won the event by breaking a three-way tie with Netherlands and Italy going into the final 125cc moto. The competition all weekend was as tough as the points battle would suggest. Racing with storms on the horizon and strong winds bearing down on the rocky course at the Circuit de Gueugnon, the riders gave the 5,000 spectators who lined the fences a race to remember. 

Leading the charge for the U.S. team was Rochester, Mass., rider Pinhancos, 12. Pinhancos took the win in both 65cc class motos on his KTM. Also racing KTMs in the 65cc class, 11-year-old Brock Papi from McMurray, Pa., finished seventh overall, while 12-year-old Joey Crown from Metamora, Mich., finished eighth overall. 

"It was very awesome for the AMA to pick me to represent the United States in Europe," Pinhancos said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I was really excited to see all the different racers representing their countries. In the riders' meeting, you could see all the different countries there. It was really cool. I never thought I would get to do something like this. To go to Europe and win -- it feels really great to know I'm a world champion." 

In the 85cc class, Mosiman, 14, from Sebastopol, Calif., and Matt Burkeen, 14, from Cary, N.C., represented the United States. While Burkeen just missed qualifying for the program on his Yamaha, Mosiman raced his Rockstar Makita Suzuki to 11th overall on the back of a gutsy second-moto charge that kept the U.S. team's title hopes alive. 

Savatgy, 16, from Thomasville, Ga., and Matt Bisceglia, 16, of Weatherford, Texas, competed in the 125cc class for Team USA. Savatgy led both motos on his Rockstar Makita Suzuki before crashes allowed ultimate 125cc class champion and current European 125cc Champion Jordi Tixier to take the win. Savatgy ultimately finished second overall. With the rain coming down hard for the second 125cc moto, Bisceglia had two crashes on his Yamaha. Bisceglia's 4-18 moto finishes placed him 9th overall.

CMRC Mid-Week Press Release - Walton.doc (288 KB)

 

The Monster Energy Motocross Nationals will see the end of the 2010 season in the usually subdued Southwestern Ontario town of Walton this Sunday. But the entire week, known as the Walton TransCan Grand National, is anything but subdued. Hundreds of amateurs kick off the event with opening ceremonies on Tuesday evening, to be followed by four days of racing which culminates with the final round of the Pro Nationals on Sunday.

 

With an annual pilgrimage of more than 900 competitors, and spectator turnout that have been estimated up to 20,000, the Walton TransCan Grand National has, without a doubt, earned the right to be called Canada’s “Motocross Classic”. Not surprisingly, Walton is a magnet for hundreds of riders from across Canada and the United States. Riders from Europe, South Africa as well as Mexico have graced the track.

Shawn Maffenbeier of the Schrader’s Yamaha DC ATM PerformX SMX Racing sent me his updated blog. It was so good that it put me right in the action and I thought it was the best way to tell everyone about the most recent National in Moncton!

 

Quebec is one of the craziest races in the series. They’ve got freestyle guys jumping at half time, bands playing at night, and the track workers at St. Julie worked till midnight and were up at 5 am to make sure the track was ready to go. With the language barrier it sometimes creates problems but everything in the end seems to work out and everybody enjoys the weekend. Also changing things up a bit was the additional riders coming up like Jack Carpenter, Mike Brown, and Simon Homans. With them out there it was sure to be a battle right to the checkers. First race I got off to a poor start and was working my way through the pack when I went to make a pass and got tangled up with a nothing rider which sent me flying into the trees. Lucky I was okay but had to work my way from 40th. In the end I caught back up to 20th. Second race I got a much better start which put me in and around 10th place. After an epic battle with Kyle Keast and Jack Carpenter I ended up 11th leaving me with 16th overall for the day and 12th overall in the series. After the races we packed up and headed to the Champs House, "JSR”, to see what I could learn for the week.

 Acton Vale, Quebec is where we spent the week with former Champ JSR. We rode his own private track on Tuesday and worked on some things, then on Wednesday we went to an old national track, Overton, which is only open for one week each year. Again we worked on a couple of things with my riding and with the mental part of motocross. Thursday it was back to the private track. Each night we would gather at JSR's house for supper and apparently the rest of Acton Vale eats at JSR's house to. There were always friends and family coming over to see Jean and it doesn’t matter who you are he treats everyone the same. After three days of riding with the Champ I was ready for Moncton New Brunswick.

 

The dirt was red and the skies were blue today at Riverglade MX Park in Moncton. After a little bit of rain Saturday night the track was looking extremely good in the morning. The track rutted up and got rough after practice and qualifying. The races were going to be good with the track having lots of different lines in the corners allowing us to pass and make the crowd excited to be there. Speaking of the crowd, the people from around Moncton packed the stands and lined the side of the track like I have never seen before. It was cool to see the crowd go wild over a pass or an intense battle. The first race I had 11th gate pick which gave me a good starting position. I came out of the gate and was in and around 10th place. The rocks were flying and the dust was thick for the first couple laps but once the pack started to spread out it was time to put on a charge and make up some ground. As I was trying to chase down 9th place I got kicked sideways going into a corner and just about ended up in a pond. I had to jump off and pull my bike back and in that time I was passed and was down to 13th. Once I was back on the track it was time to charge again and see if I could make up some lost ground. I got up to 10th place and that is where I finished out the first race. The second race I got another decent gate pick and got off to an even better start then the first moto putting me into about 7th place. I held seventh till just before the half way mark where I laid the bike over in a tight corner. The 8th place rider got around me but I was able to get up quickly and start chasing him down to get back my position. There was a three second gap between me and the 7th place guy at the finish. 8th in moto 2 and 8th over all for the day. The best finish of the year and the best finish to date for me. We are now headed back to Ontario to Ottawa for the Second last race of the series.

           

Oh, one last thing. My biggest fan sent me a picture where he put 129 tattoos all over his face and body! Check it out and thanks for the continued support!.

Dylan's Update: Riverglade National

I'm just sitting at the Big Irving truck stop outside of Moncton...feeling pretty sore again. The week went pretty good, we got some good riding in in Quebec and made our way out to Moncton on Friday. Practice and qualifying went smooth and I was feeling pretty good.

 

Moto 1: My usually bad start, got some arm pump and finished 28th. Not happy with the ride at all.

Moto 2: Was having a good ride, making passes and was inside the top 20. On the last lap my shock shaft came out of the shock body and my bike rotated into a front flip over a jump. I bailed over the bars and tumbled half way down a hard pack hill. Got lots of road rash and the bike took a serious beating...I somehow still got 24th, I think cause I was the last guy to complete the last lap, although I DNFd.

 

Overall: 28-24, 25th Overall

 

Heading to Factory Connection in Quebec to see what they can do..I got a mangled shock, bent linkage, broken pipe, bent sub frame, and a bunch of other little stuff that needs fixing. Sand Del Lee is iffy...

 

Until next time,

 

DL

Monster Energy Motocross Ntls -- Moncton.doc (144 KB)

Round 7 of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals in Moncton on Sunday saw Dusty Klatt record his second consecutive MX1 clean sweep while his Blackfoot Racing teammate Tyler Medaglia snared the MX2 overall on the strength of 2-1 motos.

 

Conspicuous by his absence at Riverglade MX Park was defending MX1 Champion Colton Facciotti who reinjured his shoulder at Round 6. Although he may return to action either at Round 8 or 9, Facciotti’s run at a three-peat this season is effectively over.

Motocross Track for Fort Nelson soon to be reality

It's been a long time coming but Fort Nelson is finally going to realize a Motocross facility. It all started with new resident John Currie and a band of like minded individuals who organized themselves into a club and made it happen. On May 25th, council approved a proposal that would lead to the construction of a first class track.

The Track will have a range of jumps, whoops section and fun sweeping bowl like turns. Surveying of the property has been concluded and construction begins now. If riding a motorcross bike is something you would like to try or if you would like more info, contact club President John Currie at johncurrie66@gmail.com or phone 250-774-5381.
