Thor/Parts Unlimited: Lake Whitney

While the Monster Energy Supercross season
has moved into the second half, the amateur nationals are just getting
underway.  This week, amateur riders from all over the United States
have gathered in Lake Whitney, Texas for the first race since the
Mini-Olympics last November.  The Thor MX amateur group of riders looks
to be contenders in just about every class in the field, with Thor
sponsoring more than 30 riders participating in the amateur ranks. 
Cooper Webb, Jessy Nelson, Justin Bogle, Jeremy Martin and Tristan
Charboneau are just a handful of the Thor MX riders who will be
competing for titles this season in what is an extremely talented group
of racers.

We’ll have more from these riders and
others throughout the season on thormx.com, Facebook, and YouTube.  Thor TV
will also be onsite next week at Oak Hill to chat with the riders as
they prepare for the third race of the amateur season.

In case
you missed it earlier this week, Thor announced its second limited
edition gear release of the season.  The Grid Core kit is now available
through Parts Unlimited dealers and will be gone shortly.  Act fast to
make sure you get your Grid Core kit before they are sold out!

Back on the supercross track, the
Monster Energy Supercross series is headed to Toronto this weekend. 
Ryan Villopoto is well within reach of the title as he sits only 20
points behind current leader Ryan Dungey. 

In the East Coast
Lites class, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki and Thor MX rider
Christophe Pourcel has been perfect on the season so far.  Not only has
Christophe been solid, teammate Dean Wilson is also coming on strong. 
He finished third last week in Daytona, and will no doubt be competing
for the top podium spot each week for the remainder of the season.  

We’ll
have more news and updates following the race this weekend from Toronto
on Facebook.  You can become a fan of Thor MX on Facebook by searching
