We rolled the XP900 out of the trailer on friday morning for the first practice at Glen Helen round 1 not knowing what to expect. The track looked fast and the jumps looked huge. The Racer Tech A arms matched with the Elka Stage 4 shocks and Motosport Alloys tires and wheels was hooked up. I was hitting all the jumps and felt confident for saturdays race. About 3 am saturday morning
the rain started coming down and the flooding began. Rain finally stop about 2pm that afternoon but the track damage was already done. Mud fest here we go. This was going to be a race of survival. I could not be happier with the way we ran and our results at Glen helen. We had over heating problems, no 4 wheel drive and a few driver errors and ended up with a 14th place finish. This is a great start to our 2012 season and something we can build on. Thank you to all our sponsors Racer Tech, Elka Suspension, Motosport alloys, Efx Tires, Simpson, and Dragonfire.

Our friend John Sharrard from Accelerated Technologies just received a letter
from the International Motorcycle Supershow to confirm he has been awarded the MOTORCYLE AWARD OF EXCELLENCE in the “Tuner” category for helping Jodi capture the #1 plate in the Parts Canada Pro Sport bike division, as voted on by National staff and the Motorcycle industry in General.
John emailed us the following:
“This note is not to boast at all, but to thank Elka for their part in this. Since the Shocks you had supplied us performed flawlessly, I was allowed to focus on all other distractions that try to foil your best efforts while managing racers at a Pro
Level Racing event. Jodi’s bike was consistently the best handling bike on the track, allowing him to do what he does best, which is ride motorcycles at a level higher than anyone else in the country.
Thank you Elka Suspension for providing the best suspension components in the world (in my opinion) as well as great service, response and ongoing continued support. Heres to continued success in 2012 and beyond. Our next goal is to capture the Pro Superbike Championship for ELKA !”
Our congratulations to John and Jodi, we are looking forward to next season with you!
