Lake
Forest
, CA February 3, 2011 - Former
2008 Arenacross Lites champ Tyler Bright is ready to kick off the 2011 East
Coast Supercross Lites series in Houston,
riding for the legendary Jimmy Weinert. Joining #709 Bright on “The
Jammer’s” pro team this season will be #89 Taylor Futrell and #244
Ryan Zimmer.

Weinert says he wanted to call attention to his new MX
training facility, so what better way than to showcase some rising stars and
help them refine raw talent? “Opening a training facility has long been a
dream of mine,” says Weinert. “I have always liked working with
both upcoming riders and professional racers.” The 20-year-old Bright
brings the best of both categories to the team after a successful stint with
the Foremost Insurance/Jim Neese Arenacross Team and some earlier Supercross
racing.

“I used to race Loretta’s, Ponca City, the Mini Os,
but I never really was the top amateur or anything like that,” admits
Bright. “But I just kept plugging away, and my parents kept supporting
me. I ended up making four Supercross main events and had four Top 20 finishes
in the outdoor nationals in 2008.” However unfortunate injuries hindered
his 2009/10 season, but he is now fully healed and pumped up to be racing
again.

“We are happy to join Jimmy Weinert in
supporting Tyler
this season,” says Scorpion’s marketing/advertising maven, Suzie
Kirby. “We were pretty bummed when he was
hurt before his first outdoor national last year and glad to have him back in
the saddle. Tyler
is totally dedicated to Scorpion and super pumped to be racing for
Jammer’s team!”

“Super pumped” is an accurate description
as Bright will be competing in Scorpion’s VX-24 helmet featuring the
trademarked AIRFIT® technology. Now riders can pump up the proprietary cheek
pad inflation system to ensure the perfect fit. The VX-24 also maximizes
protection with a polycarbonate shell combined with a state-of-the-art dual
density EPS liner to absorb maximum energy. In fact, this combination meets or
exceeds all Snell/DOT safety standards.

Above and beyond passing the protection test,
Scorpion’s KwikWick® washable moisture wicking comfort liner will be
helping Bright keep his cool no matter how hot the action may get. Speaking of
cool, an all new Aero-tuned front ventilation system and redesigned rear
exhaust ports ensure plenty of airflow over the scalp.

“In addition to a superior fit, Tyler will also be making a statement at the
track with the Impact, Vortech and Hellraiser graphics this season,” says
Suzie Kirby. Be sure to give Tyler Bright and the rest of the Jimmy Weinert
Racing Team a shout-out at the track as the SX series starts its East Coast
swing in Houston.
