Team News and Events

February 2010:

The first Loretta Lynn's area qualifier was this past weekend at Elizabeth City MX in Elizabeth City, NC.  This location is on the NC and VA border, so it is actually a NE qualifier.  Kailyn has not been released to race, yet, with her left knee about 75% from her ACL reconstruction, but we elected to let her race since this was the only NE qualifier close to us.  She has not had any seat time since the surgery, so she was only riding at about 50%, just trying to be top 8 or 10.  She had excellent starts and solid technique which resulted in a 5th place finish overall.  She will stay off the bike for the next couple of weeks to finish her rehab/therapy, but is looking forward to her full return in the near future.
 

Kennadi also rode extremely well.  Kennadi is an AMA 12 year old in 2010, riding in the Girl's 12-15 class.  Kennadi rode to a 5th place finish in the first moto, and was in 4th preparing to pass for 3rd when her front wheel washed out in a very deep corner (ECMX is one of the famous sand tracks of North Carolina).  She was able to get back on the bike and to get it refired, but she dropped a couple of places, finishing 6th in the second moto for 5th overall.  Kennadi was the only 12 year old in the class, racing against 14 and 15 year olds.  She should be a contender for national championships in the near future.
 
Due to the weather (snow, then rain, then snow...), we have not been able to get anything done on our track.  We do have approval from the County and State to get it finished, and are hoping Todd Bennick, an ex-professional motocrosser, will be able to have it finished within the next couple of weeks.  He has been designing and building tracks for many years and we are excited about the ideas he has.

We continue to finalizing our sponsors for 2010 and are very proud to have established good relationships with the many companies who are supporting us.

Function drinks is a newer company with many great products.  Their drinks were formulated by an Orthopedic surgeon with all natural products.  Their motto is "make your drink work for you", which sums up the idea behind their products.  Many of the drinks come in several different flavors for each formulation, which are very tasty!  Two specifically geared toward action sports include "Alterative Energy" and "Shock Sports".  The Alternative Energy formula provides energy without the crash and the Shock Sports formula provides protection against the abuse to the body from action sports.  Check out these amazing products at www.functiondrinks.com.  Their website describes each drink in detail, including the ingredients and the benefits of each.  They even have profiles on Facebook and MySpace! 

Our second new sponsor is Daisy Rock Guitars.  Daisy guitars are specifically designed for female guitarists and their lineup includes electric, acoustic/electric and bass guitars.  They are extremely well crafted with professional components and the body styles and colors are designed to appeal to women and girls.  The Debutante collection is scaled down for the smaller musicians without sacrificing quality.  Some of Daisy's sponsored musicians include Avril Lavigne, Miley Cirus, Heart and The Bangles. Kailyn and Kennadi have been enjoying their new guitars and will be rocking the trailer at all of our races.  The company's website is www.daisyrock.com and is full of artist profiles and merchandise.  Like Function Drinks, they are on Facebook and MySpace.  Check them out! 

As always, thanks to all of you who have been following our progress, and thanks to all of our sponsors.  Please help Milestone Motorsports by supporting the companies who support us!
