Waukesha, WI - Roy Horton of Frankfurt, IL is set to race
the 2006/2007 Toyota AMA Arenacross Series which kicks off
at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, IA. Friday November
3rd. Roy will be looking to continue the success in 2007
that VRM had last year with Unbound Energy / VRM rider Shawn
Clark in the Toyota AMA Arenacross Series.
Horton had been riding a full privateer effort last year and
this year he welcomes the support of TeamVRM.com. In
2005/2006 Roy was getting his feet wet and had many
competitive rides and caught the eye of VRM. VRM continued
research on this young Midwestern this summer and was able
to put a deal together with Roy for the 2006/2007 season.
The current plan is for Roy to race the 2006/2007 Toyota AMA
Arenacross Series, occasional Supercross races, other AX
races and Loretta Lynn’s.
Roy will be racing a TEAMVRM.com / Nielsen / Honda Oils ride
in his quest for the CCE National AX regional championship
aboard a Honda CRF250. Roy commented; “Last year I wasn’t
nearly as prepared as I am this year. I saw VRM support
Shawn Clark last year and liked their program. This year I’m
ready to race and hope to be on the podium consistently in
the Lites class! That regional championship would be nice
but we’ll see what happens. My bikes are great, I’m 100% and
can’t wait for Friday night!”
Bubba Bunders, Marketing & Riding Support manager of VRM
stated; “I’ve watched Roy this summer at the Lake County
Fair SX and was impressed. With a little seasoning he could
turn some heads this year.”
Carl Hein, Owner of VRM commented; “I noticed Roy last year
when we supported Shawn Clark (unfortunately Shawn is out of
the 2007 AX series with and injury) and saw he had the speed
but was a little erratic. With hard work this last summer
Roy was able to show he had the speed to run with the big
guns. Riding both classes in the series should continue his
progress into becoming a better rider. I like his attitude,
personality and work ethic.”
Backing Roy in his quest for the AMA National Arenacross
Series Arenacross class title will be: TeamVRM.com, Nielsen,
Honda Oils, Yoshimura, MB1, Efitness Academy, VRM, UFO, Pro
Wheel Racing, Guts Racing, Decal Works, Regina, Renthal, Hot
