	RACING NEWS: Business Hours: 9:00-4:00 Mountain Time. 5/21/2010 Wortham, Tx Freestone AMA National:Wow, hot and ruff with 35 minutes just pounding laps.  All in all a great weekend, although the first moto had some issues.  The second or third lap in his goggle lens got knocked out by a rock! So he rode a lap without goggles then I was able to get him in and get a new pair on him.  But this sent him back to dead last with about 10 seconds just  to get up to the last place guy. Argh! Once he got going he started clicking off laps and his laps times got better and better. Putting in his fastest lap with only 3 laps to go.  Pourcel got around him so I put out a pit board that said "latch on".  He read it and actually did it!  He stayed with Pourcel the rest of the race and just starting chugging up thru.  Second place was  behind him and I know he did not want to get lapped by him so he put his head down and stayed with Pourcel right up to end.  You even see him  almost cross the finished line with Pourcel at the end (of course Pourcel was in cruz mode). I think he wanted his lap back.  But luckily the Moto was over  because I sure his fuel would not have made another lap. Moto two was good he stayed in about the same spot the whole way.  bounced between 17 and 16 the whole time.  Tried to catch and pass Lemoine for the 15th spot but was not able to make that stick.  18th overall. Got points, guaranteed entry for the rest of the season and hopefully a 2 digit number by supercross season. Skipping the next two rounds and will head to Denver next.  True privateer, just a dad and son out racing. 5/21/2010 Hangtown Sacramento, CA: All in all not a bad day. Killy Qualified for the main which was all we were really going for. He laid down some good lap times in the qualifying. He needs get a couple of seconds faster to get a better start gate. I think once his nerves settle that will come. Moto-wise good start gate and good jump on the line would be nice. Second moto he had a great jump on Morias but Anstie came over and bump him which sent him staight toward the inside hey bales. Killy however was determined and never let off and it sent him flying. He got up with a missing front fender and was going to get going again but his front number plate was dangling. When he got to me they had red flagged the race. So I had to run out on the track find his fender bolt it back on for the second start. I do think that most riders would have called it a day right there. But he did not give up and was determined to give it another go. The second start almost did exactly the same thing. This time he back off before hitting the bales and ended up with last place start. He did work his way back up and was battling with Borkenhagen, Les Smith and Nicoletti. However his top shock bolt fell out on the lastlap and caused him to DNF.  However, I'm told our bad gate pick got him some TV time. Things we learned: Start gate key wire shock bolt qualifying times are very key He's close just few things to work on. 5/5/2010: Finally back home in New Mexico.  Out of the rat race of so cal!!  Home for  a few weeks freshening up and getting ready for Killy's debut at the 2010 AMA Pro Nationals.  Killy got his new number from AMA Pro Racing so we had to get all his bikes switched over.  Weird looking 185 on his bikes.  Probably will take a little while getting used to the new number.  We will be heading back to CA in around the 7th of May to train with some for the KTM guys and test some suspension.  Thanks to everyone for helping Killy live the dream. A night out on the town in Durango. 1/24/2010: We will be heading out on the road next week.  Killy is all healed up from the crash at Day in the Dirt.  We will be heading to Phoenix first to ride with Ted Campbell of LeoVince.   We will then head to California to work with Brandon Beabout.  We will be either staying at Perris Raceway or Milestone.  Graphics will be shipped from these locations.  Generally there is now delay in orders.  Check our Twitter link for daily updates. 9/24/2009 Mia Report on Vurbmoto:  click here for Vurb interview with Killy Rusk 8/1/09: Disaster stikes!!! After week of phenomenal riding Killy went down in the finals at Ponca.  Killy was carrying first and seconds into his finals at Ponca City and was sitting really well for overall championship.  Then the disaster hit.  While on the fourth lap of finals he was making a pass for second when his rear wheel slid out just as he went up the face of the double after the over under tunnel.  It had rained about 1/2 inch the night before and his race was first on the line in the morning.  The track was pretty slick but everything was going good.  He was making the pass just as he came out of the tunnel so he was going in a little faster then usual causing his rear wheel to break loose.  The impact of the crash resulted in a broken wrist.  Unfortunately Killy was not able to attend Loretta Lynn's  a major bummer for this season.  However the break did not require surgery and he should be back on the bike mid September. Here are the two links for his moto win videos: 250 schoolboy moto win 250 mod intermediate moto win Aztec, NM:  A new company is now running the track in our hometown.  For more info click the logo below: Spring 2009 News: Killy has had pretty successful spring.  He raced the CMC golden State series in southern california this winter and won the Schoolboy, 250f open and 250 intermediate class championships.  He also had a top 3 overall at the GNC finals at Oak Hill Raceway in Texas and top 3 overall at the World Mini.  We just got done qualifying for AMA Amateur Nationals at Loretta Lynns where he will race the 250 B Stock and Mod class.

June 5-6 Youth Loretta Lynn's regional:  Over the week Killy Rusk qualified  for Loretta Lynn's Amateur Nationals in three seperate classes.  Supermini he finished with 2nd overall.  Schoolboy 125cc he finished with a 3rd overall.  The Schoolboy Lites 250f class he a little harder time.  While in second heading for first he slide out in corner and did not qualify for the main.  He then had to go to the last chance race.  Killy won that moto which got him to the main but he was carrying a 16th for the first score.  This meant he had to be first or second for the final two motos.  From here he rode solid and rode in second in both motos, which quailfied him in 6th overall moving him on to Lorettas.  At the the present time we have not decided which two classes he will run at Loretta's.

What a crazy week  Thanks to everyone for be patient.  We are working hard to get orders out as fast as possible.  We have been working hard trying to get Killy's race bikes ready for the Texas nationals starting in only 7 days.  Our race supermini motor just got done today but we are still waiting for suspension.  His 125 and 250 are ready to go.  He's been riding 3-4 hours a day here at Three Palms and his lap times have dropped close to 3 seconds a lap.  We are going to try to stay with supermini as long as possible but he said he feels comfortable moving up if he has to. We will keep posting here and let everyone know what's happening during the spring openers. Feb 24th 2008 Lake Whitney Warmup:  Wow, what a mess, not only did we do bad, but the race was nuts. 1500 entries!!  Killy had some good motos but a locked up crank on the supermini ended our day before it even started.  Big bikes went good in qualifiying.  His speed was there now he just needs to be more aggressive with the big boys.  Good day of learning,  now we know what we need to work on this week.  WORCS (World Off Road Championship Series) Montecello, Utah: Killy Rusk takes the 85cc A class.  After 45 minutes of battling over the long GP course Rusk holds on for a long awaited win.  12 plus minute laps over a 5 mile course he lead from start to finish.  Eli Tomac put on a a hard charge on laps 2 and 3 and was able to reel in  Rusk. Rusk also put the fastest lap time of the race on lap 3.  Tomac made a pass but Rusk countered right back with a pass of his own.  From there the two would stay right together until the final lap where  Rusk was able to pull out a small cushion.  After the race Rusk would fall victim to a stomach virus and and was not able to compete in the 125cc class.  The next day the roles would reverse and this time it was Rusk who had to reel Tomac in.  Rusk made up a bunch of ground  right before the pit stop but from there had to settle into a comfortable second.  WORCS points leaders were off the pace of Tomac and Rusk and would battle with each other for 3rd and  4th positions. PONCA CITY & LORETTA LYNNS: Killy just got back from two successful weeks at Ponca City and Loretta Lynns.  He placed top 10 in schoolboy 125cc  and top 5 in 85cc mod at Ponca.  He also had a top 10 at Lorettas in 85cc mod.  Killy got a holeshot in the final moto at Lorettas and lead the race.  Next year we think he is ready to start winning!!!!!
