Thor is proud to announce the 2011
Off-Road Race Team.  This collection of riders is founded on
championships and looks to continue that tradition throughout 2011 in
each the off-road disciplines.

Returning to Thor in 2011 is the
star packed KTM Off-Road Team.  The team consists of champions like
Mike Brown (2009 WORCS Champion/2001 AMA 125 Champion), Kurt Caselli
(2-Time WORCS Champion in 2007 & 2010), Kailub Russell (2009 and
2010 GNCC XC2 Class Champion), and Russell Bobbitt (2009 Enduro
Champion).  




If
all those championships weren’t enough fire power already, the KTM Team

and 2010 GNCC XC1 Runner up).  Rounding out the team will be Cory
Buttrick, who should also compete for podiums throughout the GNCC XC1
season and Enduro Series.

There are a couple of Monster Energy
Kawasaki riders that should run out front on a weekly basis this season
as well.  Long time Thor rider, Destry Abbott returns to the team in
2011.  The 5-time Hare & Hound Champion looks to be as busy as
anyone.  Abbott is preparing to ride not only the Hare & Hound
series, but also the WORCS and EnduroCross series’ as well.

The
youngster in the group looking to make a splash in 2011 is Monster
Energy Kawasaki rider, Taylor Robert.  The 2008 Pro 2 WORCS Champion is
set to race both the WORCS and EnduroCross series’ in 2011.

Last,
