Get Proppa excited - Red Bull Pro Nationals!!
By TMX Archives on 3rd Apr 09
If being the Red Bull Pro National champion isn't enough for the stars of this new, exciting series then to make it even more appealing the MC Federation have got together with Proppa.com and come up with a fantastic new concept The Proppa.com Van Slam!
The UK's largest and best, car, van and pick up accessory supplier hascome up trumps and will be offering the lucky winner a year's use withfull insurance on a fully pimped out van for 2010! It's an awesomeprize but one that will not necessarily go to the winner of the RedBull Pro Nationals.
The Proppa.com Van Slam will be a two lap sprint race before the mainRed Bull Pro races get underway. Directly after qualifying the top 10fastest riders from the MX1 and MX2 class will go straight to the gatefor a flat out, bar banging, no holds barred race. When there's a setof blingin' wheels on the line you can bet they'll be some seriousracing and that's before the main races even start!!
Points will be awarded 20 for the win and then just one point for lastposition and just like most championships the rider with the mostpoints at the end of the year will be handed over the keys to their newride by Proppa.com's Adam Weaver at the final round at Wakes Colne onthe 13th September. Something Adam is looking forward too.
"I'm delighted to be working with the MC Federation with such a greatconcept in place and actively be giving something directly to theriders who'll be putting on a show. For Proppa.com its ideal as itshows what we can offer anyone in tricking out their vehicle, no matterwhat it is. I have an active interest in racing with our partnershipwith STR Honda and I shall certainly watch this race with interest, theracers give it their all so much at the best of times but when there'sa blingin' van on offer I think it could get really interesting”reckons Adam.
MCF Chairman Matt Bates is equally as excited by the idea and had thisto say. "Professional racers want to win no matter what but a lot canhappen in a race and you have to use track craft over 30 minutes. Whenit's hell for leather for two laps though all that goes out of thewindow, to say it's going to be intense is an understatement andbecause every point counts towards the van, every rider will push likecrazy for those two laps. The race will certainly set the atmospherefor the rest of the day that's for sure. Huge credit to Adam atProppa.com for working with us on this, we're so pleased to have aforward thinking company like them involved with making this seriessomething different.”
The first Proppa.com Van Slam takes place at the opening round of theRed Bull Pro Nationals at Landrake, Cornwall on the 19th April –Remember to get there early - you don't want to miss this one. Two lapsgo quick, very quick!
