QuadCross Event - Next Stop Red Bud

Brea Ca. - July 23, 2008
- Jeremie Warnia, Suzuki Pro ATV racer from
Paris, France, made a guest appearance this
weekend at the fifth round of the ITP QuadCross
Series held at Glen Helen Raceway, San
Bernardino, Calif.
Warnia had a 2-1 victory, which was enough to
clinch the overall from Doug Eichner. More
interesting was that Warnia's Suzuki QuadRacer
R450 was a nearly stock unit with only minor
aftermarket mods, including Yoshimura exhaust,
Fox shocks and JB A-Arms. In a field of highly
modified bikes, Warnia showed the true power of
the stock machine to awed onlookers surrounding
the challenging course.
In France, 21-year old Warnia is the national
SuperQuad Champion of 2004, 2006 and 2007 as
well as Spanish MX Cross Champion of 2006. In
that year, he also attained second place in the
French National Championship.
Warnia was excited to have the opportunity to
race with the U.S. Pros and was very pleased
with this victory. "I love racing in America,"
said the French champ. "The tracks are really
fun and the people I have met have been very
nice to me. I always wanted to ride at Glen
Helen as it is a well-known track in France. I
look forward to trying to qualify for the Red
Bud National event this weekend."
