When the sky opened up on the tenth round of the AMA Monster Energy Supercross series this past weekend, things got ugly very quick. Heavy rains pummeled Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida and flooded the one-off track leaving more than two feet of standing water. But while everyone else was complaining about the conditions, team Hooters Cumberland Moto XXX Tamer quietly put three riders into the main events and pulled together a top five and a top ten finish in the highly competitive Supercross class.

The Daytona Supercross presented by Honda started off with sunny weather allowing most of the practice sessions to run in their entirety. The second sessions had to be cut a bit short but all four team riders had put down their fast lap and easily transferred into the night program.

Lites class riders Mitch Dougherty and Vernon McKiddie were lined up together in the second heat race of the night. Dougherty was able to get out to a good start as the pack slid into the sloppy first turn. McKiddie would not be as fortunate as he would get sucked into a mud hole and round the corner in near last place. Up front, Dougherty was riding well putting together consistent laps and hanging on to a qualifying position. The qualifier was shortened to four laps due to the weather and before you knew it the checkered flag was flying. Dougherty was consistent enough to place seventh and put his Honda in the main event for the first time in only his third attempt. McKiddie would cross the line 17th and be forced into the last chance qualifier.

The Supercross class teammates of Antonio Balbi Jr. and Eric Sorby lined up together in the first heat, which had been shortened to only six laps. Both riders got out of the gate really well with Balbi rounding the first turn inside the top three and Sorby not far behind. Within a few turns Balbi had worked his way into the lead and with a clear track in front of him began putting some distance between himself and second place Kevin Windham. Sorby was also riding well just outside of the top three. For the next five laps Balbi focused on hitting all his lines and when the checkered flag flew the Brazilian had won the race! Shortly after Balbi took the checkered flag, Sorby crossed the line in fourth. The heat race win marked the first of Antonio’s career and the first for team Hooters
Cumberland Moto XXX Tamer this season.

Vernon McKiddie lined up for the three lap Lites LCQ needing a solid ride to secure his spot in the main event. A holeshot virtually ensured a transfer to the main event, however, the conditions would get the better of him and the Texan would pull off after struggling through the first laphen the Lites class main event loaded the gate the rain continued to fall. The normal 15 lap race had been shortened to 10 laps making the start even more critical than normal. Mitch Dougherty nailed a top five start as the 21 rider field skidded into the flooded first turn. For the remaining nine laps, he focused on staying upright and finishing. Despite the treacherous conditions, Dougherty was able to complete the event ultimately being credited with 20th place. Mitch was still glad to have made the main event. Armed with a ton of confidence, Mitch is looking forward to next weekend’s dry track where he can show everyone what he is capable of.

With the track quickly deteriorating, the Supercross class headed to the line for their abbreviated 12 lap main event. On the start, Antonio Balbi used his powerful Moto XXX Performance motor to catapult himself into third place. Right behind him, teammate Eric Sorby was within the top five until he lost his front end heading down the muddy start straight and would narrowly miss getting hit as the riders filed into the first turn. He was able to quickly remount and work his way up to 10th by the lap’s end. Then, on the third lap, Balbi made a mistake and hit the ground. He picked himself up and got going again without losing too many spots and when the half way mark came out he was holding onto seventh. Sorby had improved one spot and at the half way mark was only two spots behind Balbi. Both riders focused on making as few mistakes as possible and on the next to last lap Balbi was able to pick-up two more spots and move into fifth place. A couple of minutes later Antonio would cross the line as the
final rider still on the lead lap and would be credited with an impressive fifth place finish. Shortly after, Eric crossed the line in ninth

After the race both Antonio and the team were excited to celebrate his fifth place finish. Antonio said the first thing he did when he arrived back at the truck was to call him mom and sister back home in Brazil and tell them the good news. Needless to say they were ecstatic!

The Hooters Cumberland Moto XXX Tamer team will to carry the momentum they have built this weekend into Minneapolis, Minnesota next weekend where the 11th round of the AMA Monster Energy Supercross series takes place in the HHH Metrodome. Supercross is back in the Metrodome after a brief hiatus and everyone is glad to have this race back on the schedule as it has historically been one of the most exciting rounds of the series. See you

For the 17th and final year the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana hosted the AMA Monster Energy Supercross Series. This was the ninth round and the start of the second half of the 2008 Supercross season, which culminates May 3rd in Las Vegas.

The Hooters Cumberland Moto XXX Tamer crew started the weekend by riding well throughout all practice sessions, easily transferring into the evening programs. Eric Sorby was riding through some pain however, after a big get off in practice left him with a swollen knee and bruised body.

Both Lites class riders would end up lining up together in the second heat race with Mitch Dougherty getting the better start over Vernon McKiddie. Dougherty was able to put in consistent laps riding most of the race close to the qualifying “bubble” but would cross the finish line 10th and be forced to ride the last chance qualifier. McKiddie would finish 14th and also be forced into the LCQ later in the evening.

Just as their Lites counterparts earlier in the evening, Supercross class riders Eric Sorby and Antonio Balbi Jr. lined up together for the second Supercross heat of the night. Sorby was able to get a decent start and ride through the pain on his way to a seventh place finish and a spot in the main event. Balbi rode strong the entire race battling with Jeff Gibson for the final transfer position but would fall one second and one spot short of the main event.

When the gate dropped on the Lites class last chance qualifier, both Mitch and Vernon struggled
around the first turn and would have their work cut out for them. Dougherty experienced some problems on the first lap and would pull out of the race on the following lap. McKiddie would try to make up time on the other riders but was unable to do so and would finish 15th.

Antonio Balbi was next on the line in the Supercross class last chance qualifier. As the pack rounded the first turn Balbi was stuck around eighth place and needed to work fast. Just like his heat race Balbi fought for position and while he was able to move up a couple of spots he would fall short of qualifying for the main event with a sixth place finish.

When the Supercross class loaded the gate for the main event the track had developed some pretty deep ruts throughout and would prove to be one of the most technical tracks thus far. Unfortunately
Eric Sorby would struggle a bit in the first turn with his knee badly swollen and be forced to work his way up from last with a quarter of the race in the book Sorby had moved up two positions into 18th. By the time the checkered flag flew Sorby was able to pick up two more positions on his way to a 16th place finish.

Eric has his sights set on getting healthy this week before heading down to Florida where he hopes
to put his Hooters-Cumberland- Moto XXX Tamer Racing backed Honda into the top 10.

Next week the series heads to Daytona Beach, Florida where thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts gather for “Bike Week”. The infamous Daytona Supercross, presented by Honda, is the roughest Supercross track all year and is by far one of the most exciting. The race will take place Friday evening and if you’ve never experienced Bike Week in person you should make it a point to get down there this year and support the Hooters- Cumberland-Moto XXX Tamer Racing team. See you there!

With the wind and rain behind them the AMA Monster Energy Supercross series rolled into Atlanta, Georgia and Georgia Dome for the eighth round of the series. This round also marked the kick off of the seven race East Coast Lites division and the addition of two new members to the Hooters - Moto XXX Tamer team.

Vernon McKiddie and Mitch Dougherty were the new kids on the track for the Hooters - Moto XXX Tamer race team and both riders started the season off by successfully qualifying into the evening program. Just after the Lites riders were Eric Sorby and Antonio Balbi Jr. who both easily qualified into the night’s events.

Mitch Dougherty started the night off by lining up for the first Lites qualifier. This was Dougherty’s first ever Supercross race and he was hoping to get off on the right foot. Mitch rounded the first turn in 10th place and focused on putting in smooth laps. While he rode well Mitch would cross the line three spots shy of qualifying.

Vernon McKiddie lined up for the second Lites qualifier of the night and just like his teammate rounded the first turn in the middle of the pack. Vernon’s time on the track would be short lived however, as he dropped the front end in the whoops section sending him over the bars and onto the side lines. McKiddie would get up uninjured but would head back to the truck early to regroup for the last chance qualifier later in the evening.

Both Eric Sorby and Antonio Balbi Jr. lined up together in the first Supercross class heat race. The duo would enter the first rhythm section within qualifying position and proceed to put together some fast laps at the front of the pack. At the halfway point of the race, Balbi was still riding well holding onto sixth place. The Atlanta track proved tough to pass on which led to Eric Sorby coming together with former Moto XXX rider Travis Preston. The contact bumped Sorby out of qualifying position and into the LCQ. Meanwhile, Antonio was all set to take the checkered flag and qualify to the main event when a last-turn block pass by another rider dropped Antonio to 10th place and .07 of a second from qualifying.

Vernon McKiddie and Mitch Dougherty both took to the line for their final qualifying race of the night. Both riders got out of the gate quickly but got shuffled to the middle of the pack rounding the first turn. With only four laps to work with the teammates tried their best to work their way into qualifying position but would fall short. Dougherty would cross the line 7th followed by McKiddie in 9th.

Eric Sorby and Antonio Balbi Jr. both started the LCQ inside the top 10 and like their teammates tried to work their way into qualifying position. Sorby, again battling with Preston, would cross the line in sixth place while Balbi would finish in 10th.

Even though the event did not go as well, the team is looking forward to heading north next weekend. The RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana is the site for the ninth round of the series. Unfortunately the pits are closed this weekend but you can show your support for the team by cheering loudly when the Hooters - Moto XXX Tamer Honda’s fly by! See you there!

Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas was the site of this past weekends seventh round of the AMA Monster Energy Supercross series and even though the weather outside was less than ideal fans still packed the house in anticipation of some close racing.

This weekend the Hooters - Moto XXX Tamer race team welcomed back Lites rider Ryan Grantom after a fractured collar bone in Phoenix had him sidelined for the past five weeks. Grantom, along with Supercross class riders Antonio Balbi Jr. and Eric Sorby all rode well throughout practice and made the transfer to the evening program.

Ryan Grantom was the first Hooters - Moto XXX Tamer rider on the track as he lined up for the first Lites class heat race. Grantom got a decent start in his first race back and settled into a quick pace. The Texan tried to work his way through the pack but the track proved hard to pass on as Grantom would cross the line 13th and be forced to ride the last chance qualifier.

Antonio Balbi Jr. was next to the line when the first Supercross class heat race took to the track. Balbi got a top 10 start and proceeded to log some quick laps. Everything was going well and Balbi was within qualifying position until a mistake on the sixth lap saw Balbi drop a couple of positions. Fortunately Antonio was able to hang on to ninth place and secure his spot on the line for the main event.

The second Supercross class heat race saw Eric Sorby get off the line with a mid-pack sSorby was able to put down some quick laps and make it passed a few riders but would only be able to garner an 11th place finish. Two spots short of qualifying.

Ryan Grantom lined up for the Lites last chance qualifier needing to finish within the top four to advance. Grantom got an excellent start rounding the first turn in third place. The first few laps were uneventful as Grantom put down consistent laps. With only two laps remaining a tight pass by Jeff Northrop saw Grantom make a small mistake and allow another rider past. Grantom quickly got back on the gas but time ran out and Ryan would finish one spot short of the main event. He would, however, make a trip to the podium where he accepted the Asterisk Medic Card and earning valuable television exposure for the team and sponsors.

Eric Sorby was in the final qualifying race of the evening but the race did not start as well as Sorby would have liked. A missed shift going down the start straight forced Sorby to enter the first turn in near last place. Sorby quickly made it passed a few riders and into 10th place when a group of riders went down right in front of him. Fortunately Sorby was able to miss the pile-up and move inthird place. With time running out Sorby rode hard but would fall one spot short of the main event with a third place finish. Sorby also made a trip to the podium where he was awarded the Racer XGas Card for his finish making it a first for one team to get two gas cards at the same event.

When the Supercross main event loaded the gate Antonio Balbi Jr. lined up just to the right of the dog house. The gate dropped and the Hooters/Moto XXX Tamer rider got off the line well and rounded the first turn around 10th. Balbi rode smart through the crowded first few laps holding onto his 10th place until a slight bobble on the slick track dropped him to 14th. When the half way mark came out Balbi was still hanging on to 14th with a couple of riders within striking distance. But with three laps remaining another mistake saw Balbi fall to 18th place, ultimately where he would finish.

This next weekend the series heads further east to Atlanta, Georgia for the eighth round of the series and the kickoff of the eastern region Lites class series. In addition to Eric Sorby and AntoBalbi Jr. in the Supercross class, the Moto XXX Tamer team welcomes Vernon McKiddie (#129) and Mitch Dougherty (#597) to the team for the east coast rounds. Both riders are excited to get back racing so be sure to make it by the truck this weekend to meet the new riders and get some autographs. See you there!

The final California round of the AMA Monster Energy Supercross series took place inside San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium this past weekend where the near capacity crowd was treated some very exciting racing.

Getting the day off to a good start was the Hooters-Moto XXX Tamer duo of Antonio Balbi Jr. and Eric Sorby. Both riders made it cleanly through the afternoon’s practice sessions landing in heat race one and two, respectively.

Antonio Balbi started the night off strong as he sat well inside qualifying position in the first heat race. Right around the half way mark Antonio made a couple of costly mistakes allowing riders to slip past him and bump him out of qualifying position. With only a couple of laps left Balbi was catching the riders in front of him but another slip-up left him two spots short. He would cross the line 11th, less than five seconds away from qualifying, and be forced to line up for the last chance qualifier later in the night.

Eric Sorby faired quite a bit better than his teammate as the French rider pulled a monster holeshot in the second heat race. Sorby rode comfortably toward the front of the pack for the entire eight laps and notched a solid fifth place, easily securing his spot on the line for the main event.

The last chance qualifier got under way with a mid-pack start by Antonio. The LCQ is the toughest race of the night due to the abbreviated number of laps and this would prove costly for Balbi as he had quit a few positions to make up. Although he put in a solid effort unfortunately for Balbi he fell short as he missed the cut with a sixth place finish.

With the riders all loaded into the gate for the main event, Eric Sorby was hoping to nab another holeshot and take home the $1,500 Progressive award. When the gate dropped and the 21 riders slid into the sandy first turn Sorby was stuck toward the back of the pack. He quickly weaved his way up to 14th place by the end of the first lap and set his sights on making it into the top 10. However, Sorby had a tough time finding his groove on the peaky track and struggled making passes. Sorby rode his own race for the entire main event and when the checkered flag flew he would be credited with 16th place. Even though Eric struggled a bit this weekend he has high expectations as the series heads east. He has a new training plan and is looking forward to earning some strong finishes in the races to come.

Next weekend the series heads to the Lone Star state of Texas and the city of Houston. Reliant stadium will be the site for the seventh round of the series and always one of the better races of the year. The Hooters girls will also be making the trip out east and have become quite a fan favorite at the races. So be sure to make it by the Hooters-Moto XXX Tamer rig to get some pictures and autographs with the hottest girls in the pits. See you there!

For the third and final time of the year the AMA Monster Energy Supercross series made Angles Stadium its home. Once again, a sell-out crowd packed the stadium for round five of the sixteen race series.

Both Hooters-Moto XXX Tamer backed riders rode well throughout practice with Eric Sorby leading the way in ninth position. Antonio Balbi was not too far behind and both riders would end up racing together in the second heat of the night.

Antonio Balbi started the heat race off on the right foot as the Brazilian rounded turn one in third place. Eric Sorby started just inside the top 10 and immediately set out to catch his teammate. Balbi was riding well toward the front of the pack holding down the third place spot after the half way mark. Over the next two laps a few riders were able to slip past Balbi relegating him to sixth. Sorby was able to catch up to his teammate on the sixth lap and the two circled the track side by side to the checkered flag. Antonio was credited with sixth place and Eric seventh as the two headed back to the truck to ready themselves for the main event.

When the gate dropped for the main event, both Eric Sorby and Antonio Balbi charged into the sandy first turn in the middle of the pack. As the first lap came to an end the teammates were still riding together in 10th and 11th, respectively. Unfortunately, a mistake by Sorby on the second lap saw him drop all the way back to 20th place as Balbi inherited the 10th position. For the next few laps, Sorby played catch-up and on lap five he made his way passed four riders and up to 15th place. Meanwhile Balbi was still riding well, threatening to break into the top 10 when a slight miscue before the finish line saw him come up short splitting his chin on the handlebars and losing control of his bike. He quickly picked his bike back up and got going again only losing a few positions. Just before the half way mark came out Sorby was able to slip by two more riders and move into 13th place. By this point in the race the field had spread itself out so far the gap to 12th was too much to overcome and Eric would have to settle for 13th place. Still riding with a bloodied chin, Antonio was able to complete all of the laps but would finish 19th for the night.

Next weekend the series heads down the five freeway and into Qualcomm Stadium for the sixth round of the series. With a 70,000 person capacity and an always pumped up crowd, the San Diego round is one the best on the circuit and one not to be missed. The Hooters girls will be out signing autographs and taking pictures all afternoon so be sure to make it by the Hooters-Moto XXX Tamer truck one last time before the series heads east. See you there!

When the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series headed north to AT&T Park in San Francisco, California for the fourth round of the series everyone was hopeful the rain would subside. Fortunately the temperature was warmer than expected and Mother Nature provided enough of a break in the weather to get the racing in.

Saturday afternoon welcomed the riders with a wet track and an abbreviated practice schedule. The normal two sessions were cut down to one and that put a lot of pressure on the riders to lay down some fast times early on in the session. Both Antonio Balbi and Eric Sorby posted solid times inside the top 15 and secured their places on the start line in heats one and two, respectively.

With the rain still on hold, Antonio Balbi started off well in the first Supercross class heat race. Six laps into the race Balbi would fall victim to the sloppy conditions and go down. Two laps later he would cross the line 11th and be forced to ride the last chance qualifier later in the night.

Eric Sorby was a bit more fortunate in the second Supercross class heat race as he was able to get into a groove early and lock in an eighth place finish. Good enough for a spot on the line in the main event.

Unfortunately for Antonio the LCQ did not get off to a good start and he would have his work cut out for him. While he rode well, the deficit would prove to be too much and Balbi would cross the line 10th, outside of qualifying position.

When the riders lined up for the main event things got interesting as the rain began to fall. The normal 20 lap race was shortened to 15 and the riders knew a good start was a key to a top finish. Eric Sorby got a good start and found himself in sixth place right behind the series leader as the pack finished the first lap. With the half way mark coming out and the conditions continually getting worse, Sorby was riding well holding on to eighth place. As the laps wound down the tiring conditions began to get the better of Eric and he would eventually cross the line in 14th position.

Next weekend the series heads back to Angles Stadium for the fifth round of the series. This is the third and final stop in Anaheim before the series heads even further south to San Diego and with a quarter of the Supercross season already in the books things are starting to get interesting. So be sure to get out and show your support for the Hooters-Moto XXX race team one last time before the team hits the road. See you there!
