TEAM PUERTO RICO HEADS DOWNUNDER

The Worlds Fastest Mazda 13B powered car is on it’s way to the 20th Annual Jamboree from Puerto Rico. The Sporty Motorsports team of Gaby Skern & Eddie Colon have just finished loading the World Record Holding Mazda RX7 into the container bound for J20 at Willowbank Raceway in Australia.

Sporty (as the RX7 is known) has clocked the beams at an amazing 6.900 @ 198.4 mph (319.3kph) The team are very excited about being able to unleash the RX7 on Willowbank’s legendary track, with the goal of cracking the magical 200mph barrier and dropping into the 6.8sec zone on Australian soil.

 Also making their way to Australia is the Pica Motors El Yankee RX8 team. The El Yankee was purchased by Jon Blanch of Microtechefi.com in Australia late last year.

When it hits the track for the 1st time in Australia the original driver Jorge ‘Chivirico “Rivera will be at the controls. Jorge Lazcano will be attending looking to adjust the machine and enter the low 7sec zone again. Blanch is a regular in Puerto Rico and has been heavily involved in the development of the Sporty Motorsports RX7. That involvement will see a similar engine combination fitted to El Yankee for the 2010 Jamboree. El Yankee is no slouch either and has run a string of low 7sec passes with a best of 7.14 @ 191mph (307.4kph) With the new engine combination the El Yankee team will be on the chase to take Sporty’s crown.

Both cars will compete in the Turbosmart Pro Compact class come August 21/22 and you can bet the Aussie Turbosmart Pro Competitors of Rodrigues, Rehayem, Willshire, Nabhan, Magliveras and others will be out flying the Aussie flag high. Special thanks goes out to Microtechefi.com & Xtreme Rotories for helping make this trip possible. When the Puerto Ricans last toured in 2006 it was one of the biggest Jamboree’s ever and J20 is shaping up to be the same. Checkout Sporty in action below.!!!

    VS   

Australia verse New Zealand 2010

On the June long weekend Jacob Griffiths from Queensland competed at the BMXTreme event in Casino, northern NSW. Not only did Jacob compete; he was racing for Australia in the Junior Trans Tasman Test Team!

Jacob was selected in the five-man Australian team during April after submitting his BMX racing resume to the Australian selection panel. And it is easy to see why he was selected. Although only eleven years old, Jacob has already been:

• A UCI World Championship silver medallist (2009)  
• Two time Australian champion;
• Multiple Australian championship finalist; and
• Multiple state champion

The Junior Trans Tasman Test Team race is an exclusive event for eleven year olds. It has been running annually since 1990 and is unique given that BMX is an individual sport. The event is very prestigious and to give an indication of this, two of the three Australian male BMX Olympians from Beijing rode for Australia as eleven year olds. So Jacob has now joined a very elusive club.

Although defeated by the Kiwi’s in Casino, Jacob rode extremely well in the Australian team and represented his country with modesty, pride and courage. He’ll never forget representing his country which included a million and one photos and even a TV interview.   

The event also carries a second leg which is due to take place on the 23^rd and 24^th of October in Rotorua, New Zealand. To qualify for this second leg, and thus a trip to New Zealand, Jacob had to compete in five qualifying races over two days. This he did so very successfully to finish as the first placed qualifier into the team ahead of the current Australian champion!! So Jacob will once again represent Australia in October.     

Jacob is a proud member of the High Roller / DK race team and would like to thank High Roller for their coninued support.

- Congratulations to Jacob on gaining selection into the Aussie team as that itself is a HUGE achievement, just with Jacobs resume it would’ve been hard not to pick him.

Unfortunately Jacob’s and the rest of the Aussie teams effort just falling short, with the Kiwi’s taking out the honours for this leg. 

Congratulations to Jacob for qualifying 1st for the 2nd leg, beating the current Australian Champion in qualifying for the battle across the ditch in New Zealand. Goodluck Jacob in the 2nd leg, you’ll do Australia, HR and most importantly yourself proud.
