Team News and Events

January 2010

The weather has been miserable here in North Carolina.  We got hit with a big snow storm in December, the first of its kind in many years. Now, it seems like it rains every other day.  We finally got approval from the State to finish our practice track, but have not been able to work on it due to the mud and rain.  Todd Bennick, an ex-professional motocrosser who still rides competitively in local and regional events, will be completing the track for us.  He owns a grading company, as well as a track design and building company, and has many tracks to his credit.  The previous track builder had other issues and ended up not being very reliable for our purposes.  Unfortunate, since he is a nice guy, but we must move on and accomplish our goals.

Kailyn will be back on the bike in a few weeks.  Her first race back should be the area qualifier for Loretta's at ECMX in Elizabeth City, NC.  It is a NE qualifier with the track being located on the NC/VA border.  This is one of the famous "sand tracks" in our area.  Kailyn will not have any time on the bike prior to the race, but hopefuly she will be able to get a top 8 finish.  We have been talking to several new people recently about a possible change for Kailyn from a 2-stroke to a 250 4-stroke, but with the economy and hesitant manufacturers, this may not happen.  Kailyn has a very promising future in the sport, so if it doesn't work out right now, she can use the added time on the 2-stroke to her advantage.

Kennadi has been working hard on her endurance.  She recently competed in a Winter Series race at Sandhills MX track in Chesterfield, NC, where she had good starts.  She is gaining confidence and is working on her speed, especially in the corners.  In the second moto of the Supermini class, she was running third when she swapped over a step-up double and high sided.  No injury, thankfully, and she was able to get back on the bike to finish the race, but the last lap crash left her in last place.  Good things are coming to Kennadi in the future.  She still has all of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 to ride in the Girl's 11-15 class, with the current age restrictions.  She has already beaten many of these girls, and is gaining confidence daily.  She should be tough to beat in the near future.

We are finalizing our sponsors for 2010.  We are very lucky to have established good relationships with the people who have been behind us, and are thankful for their desire to stay a part of our program.  Our two newest sponsors are Function Drinks and Daisy Rock Guitars.

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! 
 
Until next time...Happy 2010!
