J
ames is your typical teenage guy; school,
job, girlfriend--- and Motocross.
James’ dad got him a PW50 for his 4th
birthday and ever since, neither of them
has looked back. He recalls countless
days spent in the desert just riding
around. James only started racing at
age 13 on a 65, but before that he admits not liking
riding that much, even hated it because he was slow;
but then as soon as he started twisting that throttle
and gaining speed- he was hooked. James’ Dad ‘Big
James’ is his mechanic, and as James says, ‘my best
friend’. They’re a great team and just as any team,
they have their disagreements, but say they’re perfect
together, but a mess apart. It’s true- we have the
benefit of pitting with the Allocco’s at races and I love
to see them interact, you can truly see the bond the
two of them have.
James is a senior this year, so balancing school and
work make it hard to ride as much as he wants or
needs to in order to maintain the level of riding he
wants. As far as the future, I have a feeling we’ll
still see him on the track, however he’ll be attending
college instead of high school.
The number 996 is a combination of a couple of
things- he raced and bought Dylan’s bike and needed
to switch the numbers, so made the 66 to 96, and
added a 9 for his birth year of 1996 when they went to
World Mini’s.
If given the chance, James would ride full time, it’s
his passion and portal to escape the stress of every
day life.

750 W. Milligan Rd. • Eloy, AZ 85131 • 520.743.7727
Located in Eloy, Arizona, between Tucson and Phoenix, Ocotillo is a uniquely designed true-outdoor layout that stretches almost one full mile in
length. Our rider-oriented approach of importing the right kinds of sand and dirt-so there’s never any problem getting a grip promises full-throttle
rides with no loss of traction. GO HUGE riders appreciate Ocotillo’s supercross obstacles too. Including technical doubles, triples, fat berms,
whoop sections, off cambers and a 150-foot-long tabletop, better known as GO HUGE. With this monster somewhere beneath you, you’re sure
to rage. The facility also includes a mini-monster track for the diminutive Jeffros out there (Pee-wees, you know?). Yes, Junior gets the same
diverse layout as the big kids. This is no cheesy oval with a few rollers.

SPONSORS . . .
Getting and Keeping Them, Part 1 By Dan Matthews
I
was lurking on a local website the
other day and saw a comment from
one individual who was whining about
the lack of sponsorship in the Arizona
community. His complaint was that he
couldn’t get anyone to give him anything
for free. My thought was “Why?” Why
would any local motorcycle shop want to
give anyone something for free? Let’s look
at the situation out there in the real world.
There are many types of sponsorship. The
most common one in our industry is the
percentage-off on parts or accessories.
This is available both from local shops
or through sponsor clearing houses on
the internet. To get the latter, all one has
to do is submit a resume. In my opinion,
this sort of deal came about because the
manufacturers were tired of having to
deal with a zillion resumes each year,
and farmed it out to companies (for a
substantial fee to the parts makers) that
would handle it for them. The advantage
was twofold: no more having to pay an
employee to handle these requests and a
new market for direct sales. The racer got
a discount on his stuff, but still had to pay
freight, so in many cases he actually pays
more than if he was to have bought it at his
local shop.
The other disadvantage to this is that if
you use such a service, it could hurt you
with local shop sponsors, because the shop
sees you now as going around the shop
and buying direct. There are good deals
available through the local shops, but
they are based on what I feel is the most
important part of the entire sponsorship
process: providing real VALUE to the
sponsor. What is real value? It’s where
the racer is actively letting other racers
know that he is using that product because
he likes how it works (for parts) or how
it feels and wears (for gear), and actually
brings new customers for that product into
the shop. In this situation, everyone wins:
the racer gets a great deal and saves money,
the shop gets sales and new customers
into his business, and the manufacturer
increases sales to the shop - it’s a win/win
for everyone. That is REAL sponsorship.
The one thing that racers need to realize
is that you have to start out slowly. You’re
not going to be given a bike or a set of gear
just because you’re racing now instead of
practicing. You need to approach the shop
where you bought your bike and buy your
parts and ask them what kind of program
they have to support racers. I think the
biggest thing is that you need to understand
this is a LOYALTY thing. Once you
negotiate an arrangement with your shop,
you need to buy everything you can from
that shop: bikes, parts, gear . . . everything
you can. This shows the dealer that you’re
serious about working with him, and very
frequently will lead to a better deal.
For instance, working through a local
dealer might get you a really substantial
discount on your riding gear, because
the apparel company does offer this
arrangement to their good dealers, to
increase exposure for their gear. If you’re
the guy who is in the shop a couple of
times a week, getting parts, spending
money, telling how you’re doing in your
racing, well . . . you’re probably going
to get that gear deal. This would be step
two in your sponsorship progression. But
remember, it’s a two-way street. You have
to constantly promote that shop and those
products. Your friends and competitors
have to know that you use Brand X gear.
Not because you’re getting a deal, but
because you like the product and also
because your shop carries a good inventory
of it. This is giving VALUE back to the
sponsors. If you give your sponsors more
value, they’ll give you a better deal. You’ll
always remember the day the parts guy
tosses you a couple of new jerseys (with
your name on the back) and tells you
they’re free because you’re doing a great
job. That doesn’t happen if you don’t do
your part of the deal.
I know that for us, we got SO many deals
through our local shop because we held
up our part of the deal. Reps would come
into the shop looking to support a rider and
the guys behind the counter wouldn’t even
hesitate - ‘you want Jason Matthews.’ We
ended up with free tires (about the hardest
thing to get, next to bikes), free gear, free
oil, and more, all because we made the
effort and took the time to promote our
sponsors the way it was supposed to be
done. Putting the shop name on your trailer,
making a banner with the sponsors that gets
hung in your pits . . . it’s all work, but it
pays off big time.
Please don’t think that this is all you need
to know about sponsorship, there’s a lot
more to it. Next issue we’ll continue with
details on how to further increase your
value to your sponsors, which gets you a
better deal.

AMX Interviews by Roberta Davis
Payton Schei
#422
Sabrina Ritzler, #73
10
Name: Payton Schei
Age:17
Bike Number: 422
Bike Make/Model: Kawasaki kx250f
classes: 250/open novice
What’s the significance behind your number? Or is it just a number? When I
got on 65’s, I combined my two favorite riders’ numbers (Chad Reed and Ricky
Carmichael) and it’s stuck ever since.
How long have you been Riding, and how long have you been racing? Since
2003 and racing since 2004
What are your racing goals for 2014? And beyond? I would like to finish in the
top three in 250 novice and to just have fun racing.
Why Motocross? If there were something else you could do, what would it be? I
guess I picked motocross because it’s something I wanted to do since I first saw it
when I was 6 years old. I wouldn’t want to do anything else.
What is your favorite track to ride and why? My favorite track is Glen Helen
because the hills are pretty sick and it’s just a fun track to ride
Who are your sponsors? North Valley Kawasaki, AEO, EKS Brand Goggles, and
Maxima
Have you ever had a big injury? I broke my arm when a kid ran me over after I
fell at ET
How often do you practice? Once or twice a week
Describe your feeling when you’re on the gate . . . Are you nervous, focused,
thinking “oh crap, here we go.” Do you have any traditions before a race? I’m
usually pretty nervous but I don’t have any traditions before my races
What’s your favorite cereal? Cocoa Puffs
Name: Sabrina Ritzler
Age: 20
Bike Number: 73
Bike Make/Model: KTM 150sx
class: Women amateur, Women 14+
What’s the significance behind your number? Or is it just a number? It’s mostly
just a number, but now that I’ve had it for over 5 years I’ve become pretty attached
to the number 73.
How long have you been Riding, and how long have you been racing? I’ve been
riding since I was 10 although there were a few years where I didn’t get to ride at
all. I started racing when I was 12 but didn’t get a chance to really get into it until I
was 18.
What are your racing goals for 2014? And beyond? My goals in 2014 is the place
on the podium position for all my races and move up in the intermediate class
within the year.
Why Motocross? If there were something else you could do, what would it be?
Because motocross requires so much focus and is so rewarding when you do well.
There’s no better feeling then flying through the air or hitting a rut right. If I could
do something else I might try hockey. I always wanted to play that as a kid.
What is your favorite track to ride and why? That’s a tough one.. I guess id have to
say Competitive Edge. My favorite tracks in Arizona are Canyon and Ocotillo.
Who are your sponsors? MotoCity, Jt racing, Fmf, Gaerne, System Decal, Asv, and
my grandma.
Have you ever had a big injury? I wouldn’t say I’ve had a big injury but have had
multiple small ones like broken wrists, ankles, collar bones and concussions.
How often do you practice? Once or twice a week.
Describe your feeling when you’re on the gate . . . Are you nervous, focused,
thinking “oh crap, here we go.” Do you have any traditions before a race? I try
to focus on the holeshot and relax but I get really excited and just want the gate to
drop already!
What’s your favorite cereal? Cinnamon Toast Crunch is bomb!
from Pynne Johnson
Greetings to All!
It’s been awhile since I got the chance
to write a column for our paper. We have
been super busy behind the scenes putting
new things in place - new contributors
for the newspaper, media sales people,
making new race tracks, looking at new
facilities, contacting new vendors, repairing
equipment, and all the other things that go
into the day-to-day operations of a race
track and sanctioning body. We are making
lots of progress at Canyon - which is so
rewarding toward our goals of making
Canyon a place riders can be proud to call
their home track. We have many, many
things remaining on the list, but are so
thankful to those helping us improve.
Thanks to all the riders who are helping
make this possible.( Please let us know
how we are doing. There are comment
cards at the front gate booth: please feel
free to leave input! ) If you have any
special talents or skills, please contact us
if you are interested in trading work for
practice passes.
In case you haven’t noticed, the
AVDRA Vintage group have moved to the
southern “vet track” next to the PeeWee
track. The race surface in that area is more
desirable to the vintage machines. The
Cactus track will be utilized for quad racing
at Canyon on Az. State Championship race
days. Tell your quad friends to come join
us on those race days! Both tracks, plus

the peewee and main tracks are available
during open practice days. And don’t forget
the flat track . . .
Mud Bogs: If you haven’t seen these
guys and girls plow thru the muck with
their boggers, you are missing out! They
are paired up with our Summer Night
Races (Monsoon Madness) this year, so
no excuses. Come check out their stock
to super modified machines, and enjoy
watching people having some good dirty
fun! If you have any questions, feel free to
ask the drivers and crew members - they
love telling about their machines! These are
aimed at family fun - bring some chairs or
sit on the hay bales.
Monsoon Madness: We are changing
our summer series a bit this year. With the
exception of August, we will have only
1 race per month. Pairing them with the
mud bogs will give our attendees more
bang for their buck. We will be drawing
for free passes as one form of prizes for
the series. At this time, we have decided to
forego the trailer giveaway, and focus on
spreading the prizes more evenly among
the participants. The awards party will
be held on Saturday night, Sept. 20 at the
annual AMX potluck at Canyon. That’s
always a good time - be sure to be there for
lots of delicious food and fun! Absolutely
no charge - just bring a dish. (We will have
big bikes bring side dishes, 80’s, 60’s, and
50’s bring desserts. AMX provides meat,
rolls, plates, napkins. Bring your own
beverages, too please. I love doing this

to show the riders and their families how
much we appreciate them choosing to ride
with AMX! I also love the opportunity for
racers to meet other racers and families
outside the starting line, or by chance
parking together in the pits.
Dogs: I love dogs! Especially REALLY
BIG dogs - but I am constantly amazed at
how ignorant or tactless people are about
dogs. If you pull up to a parking place at
the race track, please do not open your
door and let your dogs jump out and run
into someone else’s pit. They may not
like dogs, and if they have a dog tied up
or restrained - of course there could be a
conflict. Not everybody even likes dogs,
or maybe a person likes dogs, but feels
insecure when your dog comes running into
their pit unrestrained. It’s a respect issue
. . . it’s manners, people. Your pit is your
home at the race track. I want to encourage
people to come, camp, and please bring
your friendly dogs - but use some common
courtesy, please. Keep your dog to yourself.
(If your dog is not friendly - please leave it
at home.) Thank You!
Karen’s Kreamery: We LOVE Karen
and her ice cream so much!!!! I wanted
everyone to know that Karen fell and
hurt her back so won’t be able to join us
for awhile. We wish her a very speedy
recovery!!!

Grandma Charlene 25+ years ago, moving
here all the way from Strum Wisconsin,
leaving a dairy farm where he was born. He
looked forward to the potlucks every year
- loved serving the beans. He was a deeply
religious man, who did his best to serve the
Lord - leading by example and going way
over the top with kindness and caring for
others. When Charlene had a stroke 4 years
ago, he did everything possible to try and
rehab her to bring her home. He became
really ill with encephalitis 6 months ago,
but fought back to returning to his home
and visiting Charlene at the nursing home.
Grandpa Levi passed away Feb. 11 at his
home, at the young age of 88. The blessing
for me is that he seemed to go instantly and
peacefully with his dog, Molly by his side.
She was guarding him when we found him.
My parents died years ago - My Dad when
I was pregnant with Jeremy, my Mom 5
months after I had Tyler. I couldn’t have
asked for any better Grandpa to replace
my parents. Levi went on “bear” hunts,
played hide-and-go-seek in my stock
trailer, attended numerous sports events,
graduations, birthday parties, weddings,
holidays - you name it - and yes, even
serving beans at AMX potlucks. Grandpa
Levi will be deeply missed!
Have an awesome spring!!! (Watch out for
snakes!!)

Roll Tide!!!! by Gary Bohannon
I
was working today at our shooting range running
annual qualifications for our officers (I am a
Firearms Instructor too) when I had a conversation
with one of our newer, younger officers about
Motocross and the many ways it affects our lives. He
is a younger single guy that is interested in riding and
maybe racing. He had heard me talking to another
person about Motocross so he approached me and
began asking questions, many questions, about the
sport that we all know and love. I had never met this
young officer before, but I spent quite some time
talking to him and answering his questions. Hopefully
he’ll come out to our next race so he can see first-hand
how things work and meet some of the people. After
having our conversation, and on my drive home, I was
thinking about what we had talked about and it made
me start reflecting on how much motorcycles impact
my life and I began to wonder how my life would have
ended up if bikes weren’t such a big part of my life.
I’m sure I would still be a Police Officer, but would
I just be a Patrol Officer instead of a Motor Cop, and
would I enjoy the job as much as I do now? Would I
still have my same circle of friends as I do now since
most of my friends are related to the riding and racing?
What would I be doing on the weekends now instead
of being at the track whether it is for practice or a race?
I don’t have the answer to these questions and I don’t
think I want to know how it would be the other way
because I’m more than happy with the way my life is
now with motorcycles being such an integral part of it.
Also on my drive home I received a phone call (if
you are wondering how so much can happen on a drive
home from work, it’s because my drive is about one
hour each way, so I can do a lot of thinking and/or
talking during that time). The phone call was from
Jeremy Scism, the owner of AEO Powersports, and he
called just to ask how Sean’s YZ250 had done during
the race that was held yesterday down in Eloy. At the
last race which was held at Canyon, I had to work
the “Luke Days” which is the airshow that is held at
Luke Air Force Base and is open to the general public.
While I was working the airshow, Sean (my 16 year
old son) had gone to the race by himself and while
there his race bike was acting up and not wanting to
stay running. Jeremy Scism had noticed this and took
it upon himself to start working on the bike to see if
he could get it working better for Sean (this was one
of only many times that Jeremy has worked on our
bikes at the track). Jeremy did several things while at
the track before realizing that it was a more in-depth
electrical issue that needed to be dealt with at the shop.
Jeremy got in touch with me and told me that he wanted
to take it to the shop to troubleshoot the problem, if
that was ok with me, to which I told him “Sure” since I
didn’t really have the time to troubleshoot an electrical
issue. Within just a few days AEO called me and told
me the bike was ready and they had found the problem
and fixed it. Best of all for me was that the fee was next
to nothing and the job was done before I would have
even had time to look at the bike myself, much less try
and figure out where to start troubleshooting it from.
So I had Sean drive down and pick it up. While he
was there they set the “race sag” on the bike, for free,
which is just another benefit of doing business with
them and having them build our EVO suspensions that
we run on all of our bikes.
I have known Jeremy for quite some years now
and have done business with him for as long as I’ve
known him. As I got to know him better he took us on
and began to sponsor us, and as time went on I began
to think of him more as a friend than just a business
associate. Even though the guys at AEO are way more
capable of working on bikes than I am, I still do a lot of
the maintenance and work on our bikes myself, mostly
due to simple economics. I would love to have them
do all of the work because it would be done faster and
better than what I do, and when I can afford the extra,
believe me, I have them do it.
I love to go into AEO and spend money, I think that
might be the feeling that girls get when they get to shop
at the Mall or buy shoes, or whatever it is that makes
them happy, but that’s the feeling I get when I buy
motorcycle parts and accessories. Anyways, I’m sure
there are lots of people that spend way more money at
AEO than I do, but even though I’m probably a very
small fish in Jeremy’s pond, he went out of the way
during his busy workday to personally call me on the
phone and ask how Sean’s bike worked after they had
done a relatively minor fix on it. To some people that
may seem like no big deal but to me, that is a HUGE
deal and just speaks volumes about what kind of
person Jeremy is both personally and professionally. It
just makes me feel very good that he even remembered
or cared enough about it to call and check. It’s that
kind of service that will keep me being loyal to him
and his store for as long as I’m able.
Not too long ago, my Sergeant (my boss) was
off work and was out riding his Honda RC51 sport
bike when it broke down on him. My boss called me
knowing that I’m involved with motorcycles and asked
me what he should do since he was stranded alongside
the road, so I called Jeremy and asked if he was able
to help out a total stranger who was not a customer.
Needless to say, Jeremy had one of the technicians
go pick up my boss and his broken bike. They gave
my boss a ride home and took the bike back to the
shop and were able to troubleshoot it and fix it too in
a very short amount of time and for a very reasonable
fee. Did they have to do this? No. They could have
said that they are primarily an off-road shop and don’t
work on street-bikes, but Jeremy once again broke out
with some great service and from that he now has a
new loyal customer in my boss (who is not an easy one
to win over !!!).
Now don’t start thinking that I’m in Love with
Jeremy or anything like that cuz I’m totally into chicks
(specifically my wife), but I do believe in giving credit
where credit is due. I’ve dealt with a lot of different
businesses in my time and Jeremy and the guys at
AEO definitely deserve the credit for going the extra
mile for their customers. I would like to think that it’s
just me that Jeremy does this kind of service for but I
don’t think he’s in love with me either so I’m willing
to bet that this service is available to anyone that walks
through their door and is willing to take a chance on
them.
Jeremy is just one of the people in my motorcycle
circle of friends but I don’t have enough time or space
in this article to write about all of them and besides,
they didn’t call me today to see how the bike ran!!
I’ll see y’all at the races . . . Roll Tide!

L
ast month we established the
importance of using the correct
type of 4-stroke engine oil
in your bike, to best protect
it against premature wear and to
provide maximum performance. But
what is it about oil that allows it to do
just that? After all, “oil is oil” right?
We’ve already established that it’s
not - while the base stock oils (without
any additives) may be similar or
even exactly the same, the additive
package in each product can make
the finished products very different.
A good example is Mobil 1 synthetic
and Torco SR-5 synthetic - they use
the same BASE stock, but the Torco
additive package is very different,
with the result that the Torco makes
more power with less wear. Sure, it’s
a little more expensive, but it can be
the cheapest expense you’ll ever make.
More on that later.
As I mentioned last month, oil has
four duties: to lubricate, cool, seal
& clean your engine. Most people
only think of the lubrication area, but
that’s far from the only thing. There
are also many major misconceptions
about what goes on inside your engine.
Most people think the major area of
friction is in the bearings and valve
train, but in fact, about 70% of the
total friction generated by the entire
engine comes from the piston and ring
assembly sliding on the cylinder walls.
70%! Valvetrain components are other
significant high friction areas as well.
The least amount takes place between
the connecting rod & main bearings
and the crankshaft journals - especially
in 4-stroke motorcycle engine (which
in some cases utilize roller bearings
in those areas). That’s because those
bearings are actually riding on a film
of oil (boundry lubrication), not the
actual metal surface.
Most of the problems associated with
the proper functions of crankcase
oil come from the by-products of
combustion, which enter the crankcase
from blow-by past the piston rings,
and the decomposition of the oil itself
by heat and oxidation. Blow-by is a
mixture of nitrogen oxides, a variety
of sulfur compounds, unburned fuel,
peroxides, water, carbon dioxide
and others. All of this junk is blown
past the piston rings and down the
valve guides into the crankcase. They
interact with each other and the oil to
form contaminates that turn motor oil
into used crankcase oil. This happens
very rapidly to new oil, and as such,
the lubricating,
cooling, sealing
and cleaning
functions
end up being
accomplished
with used oil.
Therefore, the
components in
your new engine
oil have a major
effect on the used
oil as it performs
its different
functions in the
engine. Let’s
briefly look at
each of these
functions.
Lubrication: this
is the reduction
of frictional
resistance
between two
surfaces, one of
which is in motion
- and to protect
both surfaces
from excessive
wear.
Cooling: this can
be accomplished
in two ways. First
the oil reduces
friction through
boundary (film)
lubrication,
thereby reducing
friction heat on
engine parts.
Secondly, by
14
transferring heat from the engine parts
into the oil that is circulated through
the engine by the pump (or by splash).
Cooling in this manner relies on the
VISCOSITY of the oil (which is
why using the correct viscosity is so
important - more on that next month).
It’s estimated that 40% - nearly half
- of your engine’s cooling is done by
the oil.
Sealing (ring & valve): This is very
often overlooked, but to seal the rings
to the cylinder walls, the oil film needs
adhesion and cohesion strength to
prevent blow-by, compression loss
and contamination of the combustion
process. To accomplish this, blenders
use viscosity improvers, which are
polymers with molecules that expand
when they get hot, which increases
the oil viscosity in the area where it
is needed (between the ring and ring
groove). It also takes place between
the exhaust valve stems and valve
guides. All of this plays a major part
in the 3rd characteristic of engine oil.
When your oil seals well, it minimizes
oil consumption, prevents compression
loss, reduces blow-by and keeps too
much combustion gases and crap
from entering the crankcase. This also
extends the useful life of the crankcase
oil.
Cleaning: the cleaning ability of
crankcase oil relies on the oil’s
detergents, dispersants and to an
extent, its oxidation inhibitors. These
additives neutralize acidic by-products
of combustion, control rust, corrosion
and suspend resinous insoluble
particles within the oil (to be carried
out when changing oil).
So there you have it - now you know
everything these is to know about
oil, right? I don’t think so Tim (with
apologies to Tim Taylor & Tool
Time) - we haven’t even scratched the
surface. I hope you’ll stay with me on
this so you can learn more about the
most important item in your bike your oil! See ya next month!

AMX
headed to Tucson
for round 5 of
the state series.
The weekend brought 2 full days of
racing. The temperatures were perfect,
cool in the morning and the afternoon
brought a perfect warm day, a bit windy
on Sunday. The motos were strong, but
the best Moto, for me, to watch was the
450 Pro/School Boy, on Sunday. At the
gate there were five Pros, four School
Boy, and one intermediate racer. The
racers loaded in the gate and were told
they were going to be doing ten laps,
instead of five. Yes, even the School
Boy rack was also doing ten laps with
the pros! Kind of crazy, but the school
boys were up for the challenge. The
Pros have raced ten laps before but the
School Boys have probably raced at the
most, seven laps. So this was a change
and a challenge they were all ready for!
The Pros were first gate drop and School
Boy was second. As the motos started
I wondered how this was going to play
out! As the laps progressed the Pros
gained on the School Boy racers. The
Pros fought for position as the School
Boys just tried to keep on pace each
lap. James Alloco led the School Boy
motos the entire ten laps, 1st overall.
Rhett Jones started 2nd both motos, but
fumbled and was passed by Geno Lonati
who ended up 2nd each Moto. Rhett
ended up 4th overall, and Jeff Schneider
was 3rd overall. The Pros lapped a few
of the School Boys, and they finished
battling with Zac Petruska getting
overall 1st, Mike Blose overall 2nd and
Ryan Bueghly overall 3rd. The 10 laps
was a success!!! And super fun to watch!

A
s a veteran racer it’s been
amazing to watch the sport
of motorcycle racing head
into the mainstream over the
last fifteen years! We’ve always known it
was one of the biggest rushes out there,
but with the addition of media, major
sponsors and the fans it’s entered a whole
new level of “cool” to be a motorcycle
racer. However for the majority of us it’s
still all about the love of the sport! You
would think after 23 years of professional
20
racing I would be burned out, but instead
I’m having the time of my life!
This year I have the honor of racing
my seventh X-Games, as well as the
Endurocross series. I’ve also been having
a blast racing our local AMX and AMRA
races. It’s been great to get back to my AZ
roots and racing locally again has given
me the opportunity to see how much talent
our AZ racers have! I’ve been having a
great time getting to know a lot of the MX
and AMRA families, and it’s made me
remember why I loved racing in the first
place and why I’ve raised my own kids in
the sport. There’s nothing like the racing
community when it comes to making you
feel welcome!
As many of you know, I’ve started
a new chapter in my life and now
offer both riding schools and the DA8
Training Facility. This has given me
the opportunity to work with many of
the local racers to help them chase their
dreams regardless of how big or small.
I’m really looking forward to this chapter
in my life, because I’m realizing I get
the same “racing” rush watching my
DA8 athletes succeed and reach their full
potential. I’m super proud of all of my
athletes and all their hard work and like
any great race family; you’re more than
welcome to join us! I look forward to
meeting you all at the tracks and hope you
will stop by to say hi!

F
rom last month . . . By
following this plan, Jason
& I have had more and
better sponsors and won more state
championships than any other rider
(seven years and multiple classes).
The secret was a racing plan we
followed and consistency in his
riding.
The last sentence from last issue’s
article was the last one in the article:
THE SECRET WAS A RACING
PLAN WE FOLLOWED . . . To be
successful at anything - business,
family and racing - you need to have
a plan. This would definitely include
finding good local sponsors, working
with your local track owners, having
a consistent practice schedule (that
30
includes working on the area you are
weakest in), and working with local
trainers. This is all 100% possible
LOCALLY, without spending time
& money going out of state.
The culmination of a program like
this was a World Mini Grand Prix
Championship AND the 1991 GFI
Supercross Mini Championship in
the 12-13 year old (with a clean pass
of the points leader on the last corner
of the last lap in the LA Coliseum!)
In 1993 Jason took third at the World
Mini in Schoolboy behind a couple
of guys named Kevin Windham and
Jeff Willoh. This proves that you
can race locally AND still have a
successful career - with a limited
budget!
Jason turned Pro in late 1993 at 15.
The reason he went Pro is that we
were at a local race in Tucson, where
he started on the second gate and
by the end of the race he had passed
all the Pros (who started on the first
gate). After the event, we went to
the local Sizzler to eat, and Jason
asked me why we were still racing
Intermediate. I told him that he had
told me he wanted to race one more
World Mini as an Intermediate, but
then he asked how much money
would he have won today as a
Pro. The answer came from Snell
Johnson who won $150 for the 250
win (a very good amount back then.)
The next weekend there was a CMC
race at Thrasherland The event was
huge due to a rainout in California
that weekend and many riders
had come to AZ to race, including
ex-Team Suzuki rider Michael
Brandes and Mike Healey, among
others. When Jason saw the lineup,
he began to question his decision
to ride Pro, but at the end of the
day he finished third (almost $200,
plus contingency). This also proves
the old adage of the benefits of the
Home Track Advantage.
I know I’ve been talking a lot about
our own personal experiences, but
you can race locally for a lot less
money, have a good time improving
your skills and still have a great
racing career. Later in this paper I’ll
discuss Sponsorships - how to get
them and how to keep them.

H
ow do you answer, How’s
Business? Does it sound like
“OK, fine, slow, up & down,
busy or Amazing!” National sales reports
& large companies are showing small
improvements of sales over the last few
years. Some are hard to believe & usually
not accurate for the local motorcycle
dealership & repair shops. So how do
you get a handle on what to expect when
no-one can predict whats going viral &
what is played out news? This is a question
to ask your staff daily. Set time aside for
your sales team to research, read & stay
up with products that are making waves.
Decide now what direction to stock & start
asking your customers if they buy those
type of items elsewhere & if you stocked
them would they choose to buy from you.
A trend that has been growing steadily over
the past 5 years is dual sport riding. If you
didn’t know this & you are a shop Owner,
this is good to know. Most off-road or
street dominant stores can be easily crossed
over into the dual sport market scene pretty
easily. Your parts Distributor probably has
products that fit in this riding category.
Another hot market is the UTV (sideby-side) scene. There have been over
650,000 UTV’s sold from 2010 to 2013.
This figure is compounding every year as
the technology is improving & financing is
still available. Over 80% of new & current
UTV Owners agree they will spent $1500+
on aftermarket parts this year. Also 8 out of
10 Owners have 4x4 or lifted trucks to haul
their offroad toys with. So some simple
items that these customers will buy may be
a good thing to stock up on.
Statistics show that history does repeat
itself & trends come & go, so I advise
to study, test & grow into the next 5-8
years in the Power-sport’s industry as it
will continue to increase. It may not be
explosive like 2000-2005 but we are seeing
signs of improvement each month.

D
onnie Coaly has a love for
motocross dating back to when
he was a young boy enjoying
weekend desert rides with his father
and brothers. Over the years he has
worked on his bikes and developed
a particular interest in suspension. It
wasn’t much of a surprise to his family
and friends when he took his hobby to
the next level opening up his own shop.
After becoming Race Tech certified,
Donnie started tuning and servicing
suspension in his off hours while
maintaining a career in construction.
Over the next few years, his hobby
and passion for motocross took over
and he decided to leave construction
and take on the challenge of suspension
full time. Although this was a difficult
choice, he knew it was the right one.
With the help of his brother-in-law,
Paul Romanek, together they formed
RC Suspension. Donnie’s main focus
is on support and service, while
Paul takes care of the business side
of things. RC Suspension provides
a hands-on trackside approach to
suspension set-up, which allows
Donnie to achieve maximum results
with the bikes he is working on.
Donnie’s talent and ability to read a
bike while someone is riding, enables
him to make suggested suspension
setting changes in order to help a rider
achieve maximum performance of
their forks and shock. Donnie believes
half the suspension job happens on
the bench and the other half happens
when he tunes your bike and works
with you one-on-one at the track to
get your bike dialed in. He enjoys
working with riders, watching them
ride, and finding out what they want
out of their suspension so he can do his
best to make it happen. This is evident
in the time he spends talking with you
about your riding style, your likes
and dislikes where your suspension
is concerned, and the fine-tuning that
goes on after the mechanical job is
done.
RC Suspension is now located on
19th Avenue and Rose Garden just
north of the Loop 101. The suspension
work that started exclusively with dirt
bikes has expanded to RZRs, Rhinos,
rock crawlers, and sand cars. Stop by
and see what RC Suspension can do to
smooth out your ride.
Q: Donnie, how long have you
been riding motocross?
A: 37 Years.
Q: What was your first bike?
A: A 1970 YZ 60.
Q: When did you start RC
Suspension?
A: We started RC in 2008.
Q: What does RC stand for?
A: It is the initials of the last names
Romanek and Coaly.
Q: Where is RC Suspension
located?
A: We are located at 1831 W. Rose
Garden Lane, Suite 5. We are north
of the Loop 101 off of 19th Avenue in
Phoenix.
Q: How do you like having your
own shop?
A: It’s great. I’ve been working out
of a garage and it’s really nice to have
my own place. I’ve been very busy and
the time flies by.
Q: What type of bikes or vehicles
do you do suspension for?
A: I work on dirt bikes, UTVs, sand
cars, rock crawlers, and street bikes.
Q: What separates RC from its
competitors?
A: When someone comes to me
asking about suspension, I’ll take the
time to explain why suspension is so
important, how it works, and how most
people would benefit from having their
suspension built and tuned for them.
Dirt bikes today come with really good
suspension, but it is not made for you.
What I mean is if you are not a 180
pound novice rider, chances are that
suspension is not the best it can be for
you. Rider weight, skill level, and the
type of riding you do are not taken into
account for all the big five motorcycle
manufactures. Every one of us is
different and we all have an idea of
what our best ride would be like, that’s
where RC Suspension can help.
Only half the work I do for you is
done in the shop, the other half I spend
at the track dialing the rider to their
bike. I have worked with many people
at the track dialing and explaining to
the rider what I am doing and why. I
would hope after spending time with
me, a rider would have a much better
understanding of how their suspension
works and how they can dial their own
bike for whatever track conditions they
may encounter.
Q: What are your goals for 2014?
A: I’ll be purchasing a Sprinter van
soon so I can better serve riders and
racers at the track or trail. I feel that
servicing and testing trackside is key to
taking care of riders’ suspension needs.
I also offer pick up of suspension at
your location for UTVs or sand cars.
I will bring it to my shop where I can
take care of your suspension needs and
then back to your location where I will
reinstall it.
Q: Is there anything else you
would like to tell the readers?
A: I will see you guys at the track
or trail. Come talk to me if you ever
want your settings looked over at no
charge. You would be surprised how
much safer and faster you can ride with
the correct set up.
