Australia’s first professional ATV Racing Team, Polaris Racing, will be back in 2010, again under the leadership of ’09 Finke Champion Luke Beechey.
Heading up the mighty Polaris race effort is multiple ATV MX state champ and leading ATV parts and race prep shop owner Luke Beechey. Beechey has vast experience, competing since an early age both here in Australia and several seasons on the gruelling USA AMA ATV MX circuit.
Joining Beechey will be young Queensland rider Ryan Noyes; Ryan took outright honours during the 2009 Tri State series in both the clubman class and the hotly contested production class in his first year of ATV racing. Ryan’s father Carl will be heavily involved on a day to day basis helping prep and manage race day proceedings.
“We are delighted to support Luke and his team once more, he exudes professionalism and always gives 100%. We’re looking forward to seeing more Polaris Outlaws on Podiums again in 2010” says Nick Kitchen – Polaris National Sales Manager.
Polaris Racing, Luke Beechey Motorsports and MotoX Nutrition have combined to offer more racers the chance to pilot Polaris Outlaws. Guns for hire - Michael Roycroft and Rob Booth will contest all Tri State events along with home State MX championships, the Finke desert race and the Australian ATV MX Nationals, this year held in WA.
Mike had this to say, “MXN is excited to be hooked up with Polaris and Luke Beechey Motorsports, both Luke and I have been talking about this for a while. And I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the bike and get some hours under my belt. I know with the experience Luke has had with the Polaris bikes over the years, he will surely be giving us the best head start we could possibly have considering we only have 6 weeks until our first race. MXN Polaris Racing will be run under a separate team banner than Luke Beechey Motorsports Polaris team but both teams will be pitting/ training and utilising most of their sponsors.”
“I really think we have one of the most experienced and diverse bunch of riders and mechanics a team could ask for, with both Rob and I able to race anything from Speedway, Dirt track, Motocross and Enduro and with Luke Beechey the best all-round rider we have here in Australia, myself and the entire team look forward to many podiums during season 2010” Roycroft added.
Again Victor Bonacci will return for all mechanical duties on race day and will once again contest all the offroad events such as Finke and Thumb Pump, Thomas Andrushak from HST Powersports will once again be at all the races preparing and swinging spanners for both teams.
