Tony Hart's Last Race
Motostrano would like to offer its condolences for the family and friends of Tony Hart.
from Cyclenews.
STAFFORD SPRINGS, CT, AUG. 9: Tony Hart, the younger brother of freestyler Carey Hart, was killed during practice for the second round of the XTRM/AMA Supermoto Championship at Stafford Springs Raceway in Stafford Springs, Connecticut. He was 21.
Hart, riding for the Rockstar/Hart & Huntington KTM in the Supermoto Lites class, suffered fatal head injuries when he high-sided on the paved third turn of the oval portion of the race coruse. He was transported to a local hospital where he was declared dead.
Officials from both the AMA and XTRM, the series promoters, refused to confirm his death. It was first confirmed by Stafford Motor Speedway, which issued a statement around 7:00 p.m. that read: "It is with deep regret that the Stafford Motor Speedway announces that during a practice session of the AMA/XTRM sanctioned SuperMoto Event, being held today, rider Anthony Hart, age 21 of Henderson, Nevada, succumbed to injuries received while participating in the event. The Speedway extends their condolences to the family and friends of Anthony Hart."
Hart’s father, Tom Hart, was with him at the hospital. Carey Hart was flying to the area from Sturgis, South Dakota.
The death was the first in the six-year history of the AMA Supermoto Championship.
Rockstar/Hart & Huntington team manager praised the young rider.
“Tony is a pretty dedicated guy,” Watson said at the end of a bittersweet night. Rockstar/Hart & Huntington’s Steve Drew won his second Supermoto Unlimited race of the season and teammate Travis Marks finished fourth. “He never really had any kind of focus until he got involved with Supermoto. And the last eight months he’s been just dedicated himself to riding and racing and training. And everyone around him from his family to his friends have never seen him so dedicated with his training and riding.
“He really, really, really enjoyed what he did. He stayed in my room last night and we stayed up until four o’clock in the morning just talking about life and racing. He had a lot of ambition and a lot of goals.”
Watson was told of Hart’s passing by a state police officer well prior to the heat races. He relayed the news to the team just before the heat races. They discussed withdrawing, but were encouraged by Tom Hart to continue.
“Tony’s dad called me and he said, ‘Tony’s blessings are with you guys and Tony would want you guys to race, no matter what,’” Watson said. “It was kind of hard for us to get our morale together and go racing. I’ve got to take my hat off to Steve (Drew) and Travis (Marks) for finishing a solid first and fourth tonight.”

$55 Helmets
A helmet for the crippled economy. Or, A helmet for 30 Billion Quarterly Losses. Or, A helmet for a nation of whiners. Or, A helmet for a George Bush Nation.
We emailed you a few months ago about the solid color version of the Z1R ZRP-1 budget helmets.. You remember, the ones that were rated as the most safe by Motorcyclist magazine? Well, we're here again to tell you that we have the same top rated helmet, for the same low low price, now with some attractive graphical decorations at no extra charge thrown in just to cheer you up. The Z1R Strike Star Helmet is cheap, it's in stock and it's safe. And, if the Strike Star doesn't catch your fancy, know that you can also order up a current model helmet from Z1R and expect to pay just a little more. That's a lot of helmet, a lot of value! Little prices. Goes well with that 1972 Honda you rolled out of your garage to beat the high gas prices blues.

Team Evolve Moto and Shea Racing merge for stronger team
Johnny Lewis will compete as a DNA Energy Drink rider; while Thomas
Bordelon, Mike Ingle and Tim Shea will also represent AxiomTV and DRD;
Merged race program to debut at round two of XTRM/AMA Supermoto Championship
HOUSTON (August 4, 2008) – It all began at the opening round of the XTRM Networks AMA Supermoto Championship near Seattle, Wash. when Johnny Lewis and Tim Shea both realized that their racing programs could be much stronger and more efficient when put together. After thorough discussions in July, Team Evolve Moto/AxiomTV has merged into Team DNA Energy Drink/Shea Racing to create one of the most powerful and well-represented independent teams on the circuit, Team DNA Energy Drink/AxiomTV/Shea Racing.
“This has been a big learning year for me taking on an all-new program and it wouldn’t have been possible without my sponsors’ support,” said Lewis. “After seeing Team DNA Energy Drink/Shea Racing at the opening round, I thought about how my program could make them a much stronger team, and that with their three riders and a large race transporter, the association would provide much more exposure to my team sponsors. I am excited about our new team and to show what we can do together at round two in Connecticut.”
Two major changes to Lewis’ program are that he will now wear Fly Racing gear to match the other team riders and will run the DNA Energy Drink colors. The Shea Racing team includes athletes Thomas Bordelon, Mike Ingle and Tim Shea. The significant changes to Shea Racing, besides housing another rider, is that AxiomTV, DRD, NSS Footwear, and many other sponsors have been brought on board.
Tim Shea, owner of Shea Racing, added, “Bringing Johnny’s program into our fold makes logical sense. He will provide further exposure for our sponsors as a top five rider, and in turn we will have a four-rider team and an outfitted transporter that will benefit Lewis’ current sponsors. It will be valuable for our sponsors to have two riders in the Lites Class with Johnny and Thomas. Also a big bonus is that Johnny’s schedule is much more flexible than mine or Mike’s. Johnny and Thomas can take our truck to Michigan after Connecticut and then on to Wisconsin, while Mike and I will fly back to work between the Connecticut and Wisconsin AMA rounds.”
Scott Kramer, Lewis’ mechanic who started in June, will continue to wrench primarily for Lewis. The team’s web site at www.evolvemoto.com will be updated in the next few weeks to reflect the changes.
You can check out Team DNA Energy Drink/AxiomTV/Shea Racing at round two of the XTRM/AMA Supermoto Championship this Saturday, August 9 for Doug Henry’s New England Supermoto Grand Prix at Stafford Motor Speedway in Stafford, Conn. Enter the team’s monthly drawing at www.evolvemoto.com with your chance to win an action sports package and be eligible for the season-ending grand prize of a DNA Energy Drink pit bike.
