Sidi boots signs TUF Honda to Lead its Quest for Arenacross Gold!

Motonation is very pleased to announce that it has secured the services of TUF Honda, one of the most successful teams in AMA Arenacross Series history, to wear Sidi Crossfire boots for the 2012 championship campaign.

TUF Honda will boast a talented three-rider lineup for the 2012 AMA Arenacross Series. Former series champion Jeff Gibson, along with 2011 race winner Cole Siebler, return to the team, and will look to bring the title back to the TUF stable for the first time since the 2009 season. Additionally, TUF welcomes back up-and-comer Michael Lang, who is coming off a solid year in Arenacross Lites class competition.

From 2007 to 2009, there wasn’t a more successful team in the AMA Arenacross Series than TUF Honda. Three consecutive championships vaulted the team to juggernaut-like status, and while the premier-class title has fallen just out the team’s reach over the past two seasons, TUF Honda has been in the thick of the title fight.

Gibson is a true veteran of the AMA Arenacross Series. After making his return to competition with an exceptional title-run in 2009, Gibson has overcome adversity to return to top form, finishing runner-up in the championship last season, on the heels of three wins. Ironically, the series’ move to 250cc machines could work into Gibson’s favor. The last time such a rule was in place, it was Gibson who prevailed to take the championship, and he will look to rekindle that magic for the upcoming season.

After several years honing his ability on the larger tracks of Monster Energy Supercross, an FIM World Championship, Siebler joined the AMA Arenacross Series full time in 2010 with TUF Honda, and was one of the championship’s bright spots. He posted an underdog win, turning many heads within the industry, and while injury forced him to cut his season short, Siebler had established himself as a contender. With a return back to the TUF Honda team for 2012, he will be one of a handful of riders battling for the championship.

As one of the youngest riders in the AMA Arenacross Series, Lang continues to develop as a rider, and under the tutelage of Team Manager Dave Antolak, will surely be a contender for this season’s Arenacross Lites title. In 2011, Lang captured one heat-race win, posting six top-10 finishes en route to sixth in the Eastern Regional Championship. With experience under his belt, look for Lang to be a consistent challenger for podium results.

“We are honored to be chosen as the first Sidi boot sponsored team in Arenacross,” added Antolak.

SIDI ENDURO WORLD CHAMPIONS WITH JUHA SALMINEN

"World Champions!"

SIDI ENDURO WORLD CHAMPIONS WITH JUHA SALMINEN
It's the eighth career world title for the Finn rider

Sidi continues collecting important titles in the off-road sector.  After success in motocross with Tony Cairoli, who has just won his fifth world championship title, now it's the Enduro field that is carrying Sidi to the top step of the podium, on top of the world in this specialty. On Saturday, October 1st, in the French Grand Prix in Mende, which marked the last 2011 World Title test, Finland's Juha Salminen once again latched on to his direct rival, Eero Remes, without letting up, for a completely Finnish final podium which saw Salminen on top of the E1 World Title standings in front of his fellow countrymen Remes and Seistola. This victory was built up, race after race, in yet another exceptional crowning season for the Finnish ace from team Husqvarna. Success was already in the air after the Andorra Grand Prix, the second-to-last test in the World series, but to be mathematically certain Salminen had to wait for the French trial, the final act in the World Championship title.

These are record numbers for Sidi and Salminen; in fact, with this victory the Finn rider has taken his total career world titles to eight, thus beating the record of seven titles he had been holding, together with another two great Enduro riders like Anders Eriksson and Kari Tiainen. And Juha Salminen seems to have no intention of stopping here...

Salminen was not the only one holding the Sidi colours high in the Enduro Championships. There's also Frenchman Christophe Nambotin, who took second place in the E3 class rankings at the end of a nice season which saw him in the race for the World Championship rainbow title. Unfortunately, Nambotin is still being healed up and he's not completely at 100% due to the recent fall he suffered in the final of the French Championship. However this placing has a special taste for Nambotin and for Sidi, because it was obtained on the back of another ace in the specialty like Finland's Mika Ahola, who earned his fifth career World Title in 2011.

WHIBLEY CLINCHES - OMA CHAMPIONSHIP

Paul Whibley gets it done early.

FMF/AmPro Yamaha’s Paul Whibley got his wish when he wrapped up his fourth consecutive Parts Unlimited Off-Road Motorcycle and ATV Nationals Championship two rounds early.

Round eight of the series - the Rekluse Moonshine Cross-Country National – held near Erie, Illinois, on September 18, saw Whibley jet to the early lead when he started out by snaring the $200 FMF Holeshot Award. But with a light rain turning the course slick and trickier than it had been during practice on Saturday, he opted to ride relatively cautiously.


American Honda/GEICO Powersports/JG Off-road’s Scott Watkins and Obermeyer Yamaha’s Jordan Ashburn took advantage of that, as well as an unscheduled stop by Whibley. But Whibley regained his lost ground and re-passed for the lead just past the halfway mark, motoring to a 37-second margin of victory over Ashburn. Ashburn’s runner-up clinched second in the championship.

Watkins would hold on for third over teammate Rory Mead with K’s Motorsports-backed Adam Bonneur rounding out the top five.

“Today was just [about] winning the race,” Whibley said. “I wasn’t even thinking about the championship.

There’s still two more races to go, and I would like to win both of those as well.”

2012 Nissan 370Z gains Standard Oil Cooler

Having entered the final quarter of 2011, automakers are ushering in their new model year lineups, though most of the times, there's nothing really "new" about the cars other than the different designations. That's more or less the case with the 2012 Nissan 370Z series. The only changes for the new model year concern the addition of an oil-cooler as standard on both body styles, while
