Team Powerband set for 2012
By TMX Archives on 16th Mar 12
Powerband Racing is a newly formed youth motocross team which will be competing at the highest level in 2012. The team will be supporting two top 65cc riders, Tom Grimshaw and Christopher Mills, and also the Small-wheel 85cc class George Grigg Pettitt who be gunning for top honours in his class.
The Team's main focus this season will be RedBull Elite and British Youth National Championships. The boys will also be venturing across the channel and race some selected Dutch and French Nationals where possible.
Powerband Racing, is an on-line internet business which specialises in all aspects of youth motocross suspension and performance parts which is headed by Chris Mills and Jay Judd. With the help of David Grimshaw and Andrew Grigg Pettitt it was a natural process to form a race team for their sons to race with some of the best equipment available.
The team has been very lucky in obtaining some very high profile sponsors from within our industry and also from outside the sport and recently had a very successful team launch at Washbrook Farm.
Not being content in running three top riders at national level, the team will also be providing support packages to several other riders at national and club level events throughout the season which include Auto - Alfie Rickwood , 65cc - Scott Russell and Gary Ashley, 85cc - Billy King, Callum Heasman and Connor Wilson. Also Powerband Racing will be offering semi support to several other club riders around the country including a 10% discount for our local club members of EKSSC. Powerband Racing would like to be able to give something back to the riders to make it easier to keep racing in these hard times.
Powerband Racing would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved / supporting the team. They will be looking forward to their first year of racing, which will be used as a building platform for the future.
