RYAN DUNGEY, BLAKE BAGGETT AND JUSTIN BARCIA WILL DEFEND AMERICAN HONOR AT THE MXDN

The FIM can thank us later for fixing all of the times they mistakenly spelled “des” so that it looked like “of.” We were shocked that they don’t value the traditions of the sport.

The U.S. team at the FIM Motocross des Nations on September 31, 2012, in Lommel, Belgium, will be Ryan Dungey, Blake Baggett and Justin Barcia. Roger DeCoster will manage the team in its hunt for a record 23rd Motocross des Nations Championship.

“We will have Ryan in MX1. Blake, who has excellent support for the 250cc bike from Mitch Payton, will be our MX2 rider, and Barcia will be our open class rider,” DeCoster said. “This is a great team. They have proven that they are solid riders, especially in the sand, and the Lommel track is a very deep sand track.”

Dungey, who returns for his fourth time to the Motocross des Nations, said he is thrilled for the opportunity. “It’s a pleasure, and it’s an honor to represent my country at the Motocross of Nations. Blake has a year of experience at the Motocross des Nations and although it’s Barcia’s first year we do a great job of welcoming everybody. We’re not racing against each other. We are racing with each other for one goal, and that’s to win the Motocross des Nations. With Roger and the rest of the organizational team behind us, we have excellent support and all the support we need to win.”

“I’m excited to go to Belgium and race,” said Baggett, who is leading the points in the 250cc class in the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Racing Motocross Championship. “It will be cool and a life experience for sure. The atmosphere of this race is really big and crazy, but the best advice is what I got last year, just ride to your potential, race the track and don’t worry about the thousands of European fans and the competition you’ve never raced before. If we ride the best that we can, there should be no problems of winning it. We’ll just go over there and bring the trophy home.”

“It’s a little bit shocking, really. It’s awesome,” said Barcia, who is currently second behind Baggett in the 250cc class championship standings. “I’ve always dreamed of racing for the U.S. at the Motocross des Nations, and it’s incredible. I’m speechless. To be picked for that team is just mind blowing. I’ll be riding a 450, and that will be exciting. I practice on the 450 a lot, and I ride the sand really well. I’ve matured a lot in the past year, and I’m ready.”

For Belgium native DeCoster, the 2012 Motocross des Nations will be a homecoming in more ways than one. Lommel is the same track where the U.S. team, also managed by DeCoster, won its first Motocross des Nations title in 1981.

“That’s where we won the first time, 31 years ago,” DeCoster said. “That first team of Donnie Hansen, Danny LaPorte, Johnny O’Mara and Chuck Sun was one of the youngest in history, and we are returning with another extremely young team. This will be a great Motocross des Nations. Being on the same track where we won the first time makes it very special.”

OH YEAH! THE SWISS ANNOUNCE THEIR MXDN TEAM ALSO

Arnaud Tonus.

Switzerland will be represented at the MXDN by Arnaud Tonus (MX1 class), Jeremy Seewer (MX2) and Valentin Guillod (MX3).

WEIRD MACHINES: YOU CAN RACE THE WRC RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR WITH FORMULA CROSS

This rally car is actually a kit car that using the running gear and engine from a Yamaha 450cc quad.

Would you like to race a World Rally car, but can’t afford it? Think again. The rally car above is actually a Yamaha YZF450 Raptor quad that is modified by Rhys Millen Racing for Formula Cross. They want to start an inexpensive rally series for driver’s who would like to get the thrills of rally racing without the exorbitant costs.

Formula Cross races could be held in parking lots, race car tracks or even motocross parks.

Formula Cross uses a quad as the donor vehicle and says that the complete rally car will only weigh 500 pounds Additionally, they are working on 700cc version and hope to hold a race series in the future. Since Glen Helen already holds rally events, offroad truck races, quad races and motocross races, it seems like sometime in the future, you could see a Formula Cross rally events there soon. Maybe this is where the next Sebastien Loeb, Marcus Gronholm or Rhys Millen will come from. The kit price is $7500 and the cars will begin shipping later this year. Their shop is at 17471 Apex Circle, Huntington Beach, California. For more info call (714) 847-2158 or go to www.formulacross.com

This is where you start…to get to a Formula Cross rally car.

WEIRDER MACHINES: DEUS EX MACHINA HUSQVARNA TE250…AND OTHER ODDITIES

The radiator came from a Kawasaki KLX. The tires are Heidenaus. The subframe was modified, not only to accommodate the new seat and tank, but to give the Husky TE250 a bobbed look.

Deus ex Machina is a custom motorcycle company that builds esoteric motorcycles from old machines and engines. They have shops in Sydney, Australia, Venice, California and Bali, Indonesia. Here are some of their many custom designs using a weird assortment of loaner engines. For more info go to deustemple.com

The custom metal tank is a homage to Steve McQueen’s Husky. It is hand-made, inlaid and has a polished alloy belt holding it on.

If you owned a 1976 Honda CB100, you don’t have to junk it, you can turn it into something cool. This is Deus ex Machina’s Smokey Joe.

It looks like a flat track-based street bike, but the engine in Deus ex Machina’s Cafe Scorpio is a dual-purpose Yamaha XT225 mill.

It started life as a Yamaha SR500TT, but once Deus ex Machina got their hands on it they turned it into something Gold Star-like.

TY DAVIS TO BE INDUCTED INTO THE AMA MOTORCYCLE HALL OF FAME

Ty Davis, one of the most versatile off-road motorcycle racers of the 1990s will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on November 16-17.

“I just loved riding,” Davis said. “I would just go out there and ride in circles. Did I want to become a racer? No. When they had races, I kind of shied [away] from it. But then when I finally started, around 12, I did okay. Then I did another race, and I was hooked. My dad, though, said it was too extreme to race desert and that I should race motocross, as he was trying to qualify for the International Six Day Trial (ISDT) team, so we didn’t do much desert racing after that.”

Davis developed into a top regional motocrosser and won the 1990 AMA Supercross 125 West Supercross Championship (beating Jeremy McGrath). Davis pointed out of the 125cc class the next year and moved to the 250 class. “Mentally, I wasn’t ready for the 250 class,” said Ty. “I needed another year to mature in that class. I did it for year, and I just got tired racing week to week and not making any money. That’s when ATK called, and offered me a bunch of money to win the White Brothers Four-Stroke Nationals.” Davis won the 500cc and 600cc titles and then compete in the famed Baja 1000.

In 1993, Davis moved to Kawasaki. He won the Baja 1000 team four times. Then in 1995 and 1996, Ty won the AMA National Enduro Championship. He went on the win theAMA National Hare & Hound Championship in 1997, 1998 and 2002.

Today, Davis continues to run Zip-Ty Racing, sponsor factory teams and riders, and compete. He says he’s honored to be recognized by the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. Davis joins the late Rod Bush, Sue Fish, Jimmy Ellis, Brian Slark and Al Wilcox as a member of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Class of 2012.

RIDE FOR FREE AT GLEN HELEN AT THE “MTA RIDE DAY” ON MONDAY SEPT.10

MTA, the company that brings you the World Vet Championships and the World Two-Stroke Championships, doesn’t think that they are doing enough to make you happy.

Okay, you are hard to please, so MTA will also have a prize give-away and free raffle tickets will be handed out at the gate. Satisfied?

SOUTHWICK NATIONAL STATS: YOU DON’T NEED TO BE THE AMAZING KRESKIN TO PREDICT THE OUTCOME

The Amazing Kreskin…ask your mother.

A quick glance at the 450 stats from the 2012 AMA 450 National Championships reveals that Ryan Dungey leads every category, while Blake Baggett and Justin Barcia trade back and forth between the four 250 categories. You don’t need to be the Amazing Kreskin to predict that Dungey will win the 450 class and either Baggett or Barcia will take the 250 crown. Except that numbers sometimes lie…no matter how much hocus pocus you use.

WILL THE RED BULL PRO NATIONALS TRY TO REPLACE THE YOUTHSTREAM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP?

And, former two-time World Champion Steve Ramon will make his comeback to racing, Steve was badly injured last year, this weekend.

At the Red Bull Pro Nationals the 250 and 450 classes race together (MXDN-style) ? but are scored separately ? over two 30-minute motos (and the 250 riders hold their own).
