For this TWMX project we built up a CRF250R into a full blow Arenacross pro level race bike. I didn’t of course have a full blown pro level Arenacross racer so we did the best we could and kinda did a extreme home make over and let made the dreams of a kid from the Menifee hood come true. Nick Lytle was able to race the bike at the Fresno round and then again at the other two Western races. Hopefully the next two go a bit better and he can make it to the main. So, far too much rain has been a problem as he can’t get any A practice and he is finding the whoops are a big area to make up time. Tokyo Mod, MB1, CP Piston and Hot Cams were all huge in making this project happen (oh and his boss at his part time slave working job with Parapros).

I went the funeral for Lusk today. Not too much to say (no one likes funerals do they). I listened to some really nice things said about him from his family and friends. Faisst and Deegan were of course very sad with the loss of their friend. I came in contact with Jeremy as I would mount up his tires while he would wait in my garage. He was always very funny and nice. It is a shame and can’t say anything about God taking him because he died doing what he loved doing it and I am sure knew the danger. Not sure if this will have a big effect on those performing or not but regardless Jeremy was fun to watch and on the way up not down.

Till we meet again-

Jiri got hurt pretty badly the day after Christmas on one of our secret hill tracks. He had a very close call and a very tough surgery. It is great to see him walking around and doing so well. He now has the splints off his hands and he went to A3 and SD SX races to check it out. Jiri did say that when/if he ever rides again that he will wear a neck brace. Good luck Jiri!

In January we shot this project Yamaha 269cc with a Cylinder Works 3mm over bore cylinder with a CP piston and Hot Cams.
