Zip-Ty Husqvarna Wraps Up WORCS Season

From Husqvarna

November 8, 2011 - Corona, CA - While Husqvarna racers were busy highlighting the Loretta Lynn's GNCCs, a few others were also earning wins in the West. The World Off Road Championship Series (WORCS) finale took place at Speed World MX in Surprise, Arizona and return-Husqvarna racer Sherri Cruse topped the Women's Pro class aboard a Zip-Ty Racing TC250.

In only her second race back since becoming a mother three months ago, Cruse is already back up to speed, and enjoyed being back in the saddle with her baby girl Emerie on the sidelines cheering her on. Cruse battled with reigning WORCS champion Kacy Martinez on the opening lap, but steadily pulled away throughout the rest of the race to take a convincing win.

The rest of the Zip-Ty Husqvarna team was also in action at the Arizona WORCS finale. Cory Graffunder closed out his season with a top-five finish in the Pro 2 class. Graffunder returned from injury earlier this summer in time to remain in the championship hunt, and finish second in points for the 2011 season in the Pro 2 division. 

Nick Burson finished fourth in the Open Expert division of the Prospectors Grand Prix in Gorman, CA.  Nick Burson also wrapped up his season over the weekend, with his final Big 6 Grand Prix race taking place in Gorman, California. Burson finished his 2011 season with a fourth-place finish in the Open Expert class aboard his TXC511 at the Prospectors GP.

One more win went to another Husqvarna rider - Revelle Harrison. HMNA's own National Sales Manager was out at the wet and muddy 27th Annual MTA World Vet Championship, where he topped the 30+ Expert class with a 1-2 moto score!

"It was a really great weekend all around," commented Husqvarna National Marketing Manager Corey Eastman. "Congrats to all our racers on wrapping up such strong seasons. It's great to have Sherri Cruse on a Husky, and we're also proud to see our employees doing well at the races, too!"

Canadian MX Reigning Champ Colton Facciotti signs with KTM for the next 2 years!

From KTM Canada

After weeks of speculation as to where the two-time MX1 Champ would end up, the questions can stop! It is with tremendous excitement that KTM Canada announces the addition of Colton Facciotti to the 2012 & 2013 team roster.

KTM Canada is looking to put their riders on top of the podium next season and Colton Facciotti has proven time and again that he has what it takes to do it with consistency. ?More than ever, KTM?s focus is on the motocross market? mentions Florian Burguet, KTM Canada General Manager. ?Our 2012 SX product line up and our business attitude are now perfectly aligned for successful results. At a time when other motorcycle companies may question their involvement in racing, KTM means to do the opposite and reinforces its commitment to winning? adds Burguet.

Colton will make a unique addition to the team, aboard his 2012 KTM 450 SX-F. He has a wealth of experience in Canada as well as in the United States. KTM Racing Manager Andy White comments: ?Just like in the US with De Coster, Dungey, Roczen and Musquin, our new Canadian team will respect a non-compromise racing approach. We will be extremely victory-driven and Colton is definitely the first step in building a complete championship team.?

After testing his new 450 ride, Colton is equally as excited as the rest of the team stating ?I am ready for my new challenges and can?t wait for the first moto gate to drop this summer. I will definitely be working hard to bring home a first MX1 championship for the KTM team.?

The team training will be supervised by 5-time Canadian National Champion Jean-Sebastien Roy (JSR) who will now operate as Athlete Manager.

The rest of the KTM team will be completed and communicated shortly. Don?t miss anything and stay connected to KTM Canada?s Facebook page!
