Following the lead of American Suzuki, another major motorcycle manufacturer has committed support to the N.A.H.A. Pro Hillclimb Series by signing Team Peterson to their racing program for 2008. KTM Racing has provided the team with tech support and race parts for the last two years and will be increasing their involvement next year with bikes, parts and promotion. Quote:"We are extremely excited to have one of the most successful teams in the history of Pro Hillclimbing in our race program for 2008. It is amazing how quickly the N.A.H.A. has brought this incredible extreme sport to recognition in America, and has created such a wave of interest and enthusiasm in the industry. We are grateful to be involved and look forward to the support of Team Peterson in their quest for more wins and championships in the future". Team Peterson will expand to a 4 rider team in one transporter for 08, utilizing additional corporate sponsors to be announced in December 07.

Cream allways rises to the top.....

Great job representing the sport Robie!

KTM runs in the same circles as Red Bull, are they comming on board too?

KTM should MAKE ESPN add Hillclimbing as part of the Xgames...

As far as the CR500 goes. I am going to still keep it because I won my first N.A.H.A. Championship on it, but I won't be riding it anymore. :( As for Red Bull, they are affiliated with the offroad portion only next year and MDK will be taking care of the motocross side of things. So we have a couple of other options we are looking at for maybe a new additonal sponsor or increasing support from one of the sponsors that are already on board with us. It's all real exciting that these peeple in the industry are taking interest and are serious about our sport. I just got the 2008 505SXF this afternoon and the other three bikes next week. :lol: Thanks for the support !

I'll PM you with a list of items when available. :ride: I rode the 505 yesterday and the thing is insane fast. I thought I could race it at A Day In The Dirt, but no way! It's too much for me to ride on a track.
