Teixeira Tech
congratulates 2009 Race Team
Tracy, CA -. Teixeira Tech would like
to thank the racers who ran their linkage and
a-arms across multiple ATV racing disciplines
this season. 2009 was a break out success
for many new Teixeira Tech racers with class
championships as well as national top ten
finishes.
In GNCC racing, Duane Johnson made his strong
comeback finishing #8 for the year in PRO class.
Kevin Blundell raced in the Junior B Class and
racked up three 1st places, and finished 3rd for
year. Mike Husband raced in the Vet A
(30+) class and dominated with four 1st places
and finished 1st in class for the year.
Brandon Carter ran Vet A (30+) as well, and
finished out the year with 4th in class.
These top performing GNCC racers utilized the
Teixeira Tech linkage for the TRX450R, which
works with the stock swingarm, uses a 17.5”
shock, and industry leading great ground
clearance. Several of the racers,
including Johnson also ran Teixeira Tech +1
Maximum Ground Clearance A-Arms, which held up
to the abuse of cross country racing.
In GNC MX racing, a team of sisters carried the
flag for Teixeira Tech. Kayle Dyer won the
overall 1st place for the women’s class with six
1st places, two 2nd places and one 3rd place.
Her sister, Kelsey Dyer, was able to edge out
her sister at the last round of the series with
her first win of the season in the women’s class
in her 1st appearance, with Kayle finishing in
second.
In a WORCS season that saw record turnouts of
over 600 participants at various rounds, Justin
Waters came out strong in his rookie season,
running the competitive PRO Class with a 10th
place for the year. Tim Shelman raced in
the PRO class as well, and ended up 13th for
year. Cole Fite raced Sport 15-29 B and
ended up with four 1st places, and 2nd overall
for year. Cole also ran Open B and
compiled two 2nd places, two 1st places, two 3rd
places for 2nd overall for year. Cole
races a 250 cc quad against 450 quads because he
is legally too young to run a 450, but still is
still able to stay competitive and take wins on
a smaller machine.
In the Best in the Desert (BITD) series, Doug
Bergstrom not only took 2nd overall for the
year, but also took his Honda TRX450R, decked
out with Teixeira Tech products to a Vegas to
Reno win in the Expert class. This is a
rugged series that test both man and machine,
and Teixeira Tech parts passed with high marks
for durability and performance.
In other regional races, Duane Johnson teamed up
with fellow Teixeira Team member, Michael
Burrows to win the PRO class at the Heartland
Challenge 10 Hour Race. Josh Eaton won the
AA and overall title in the Iowa state cross -
country Series (IATVHSS) with 4 overall wins on
the year. In the new Missouri state cross
- country series, OXC Racing, Michael Burrows
took three overall wins, and missed the title by
one point. Carson Coffman took one win,
and ended up with 3rd place for the year in PRO.
Teixeira Tech is now accepting resumes for the
2010 season. For more information please
