LAS VEGAS (October 9, 2004) - Yamaha

From Taylor Potter - The good news first.

I had another win in the Victorian ThumperX series on my ACS Racing BBR150 4 stroke at Avalon on Sunday 26 September 2004. The track was really fast and flowing. The weather was sunny for an hour then it was wet then it was sunny again. Weird weather but I had a cool time and won 3 races outright from 3 starts.

On the Saturday before the ThumperX I had coaching from Cameron Taylor (CDR Yamaha) and that was really good. Cameron worked on my braking and corner speed and I learnt a lot and he helped me out a lot. Thanks Cameron.

Now the bad news.

INDIANAPOLIS (March 20, 2004) - Honda

With the THQ World Supercross GP championship lead to protect, Moto XXX rider Damon Huffman wasn't about to let a sore ankle keep him out of action when the series resumed in St. Louis last weekend. Huffman took a much needed week off when the series went to Daytona, which didn't count towards the World championship. After working hard to rehab and strengthen the ailing joint, he decided to gut out the next race in St. Louis and salvage what points he could.

Local Danny Ham, became the hometown hero tonight, when he took his first victory of the season with a convincing win in the 20 lap Pro Open class at round eight of the Australian Supercross Nationals staged in dry conditions at the Newcastle's Energy Australia Stadium.

Just when it looked like things might be taking a turn for the worse, the most loveable underdogs in motocross are getting momentum back on their side with the return of two on-track leaders. Kyle Lewis and Damon Huffman will make their comebacks this Saturday at the St. Louis Supercross.

Huffman injured his ankle while leading the Atlanta Supercross and was forced to exit the race prematurely. After a week of rehab, he decided it best to take one weekend off before returning to action. Now, with the ankle much stronger, Huffman will return to his quest for the 2004 THQ World Supercross GP title, where he currently holds a 19-point lead in the series. With six rounds remaining, he is seventh in AMA Supercross points and is the top privateer in both series.

200th Main Event is Milestone in History of Supercross

Daytona, FL ~ Mike LaRocco earned the name "The Rock" long ago from peers and fans for his physical and mental toughness, but his granite-like status in the sport of supercross reached legendary proportion when he lined up for his 200th race. This feat, in a sport where injury ends careers and fame is fleeting, is truly remarkable. LaRocco made the 250cc class final and finished third.

"The dedication and determination needed to be at the pinnacle of one's sport for 16 seasons rivals the achievements of Farve and Ripken," said AMSOIL Racing Manager John Schuldt. LaRocco has been racing with AMSOIL synthetic lubricants as a sponsor since 1999. "AMSOIL couldn't be more appreciative of Mike and proud of his achievements."
