Congrats to Ron Hamp & MIke Alessi for the results thus far this season. Ron built the motors Mike has been running and did the tuning of the transmission's on those RMZ450's. Mike is certainly not down on hp on that bike. And Ron has been a great resource of motors/ products to many teams over the years. He deserves the exposure for the motor's he's built! Together they are taking on the factory teams and doing quite well!

why dont motor guys get more recognition in the SX/MX industey? you see it almost all forms of racing, teams running sponsor logo's of who is doing their motors. in moto it seems like its all back door dealing.

Varner is a good guy. He is the first and only motor guy I have ever used to call after the work was done to check and make sure that everything went according to plan. If i could give him a rating MXA style it would have been 5 star.

Think of it as kinda like a "private label" sort of deal.

If the team is paying for it, they want the credit. Im sure if these shops were doing the motor work for free, they could get their stickers on the bike. Some of the best motor guys out their dont always want to be in the limelight. They deal with a select few customers and get to avoid a lot of BS in the process.

On my 2004 CRF450, I had Ron's head porting, camshaft, springs, a 13.5:1 piston, with a hybrid Yosh/Supertrapp exhaust....

I got a holeshot in every race I ran that bike in...no shit. And I was/am a big guy at 6'3" 200lbs...

A local fast expert rode it and came back in saying "holy shit this thing is a beast".

That thing was a rocket...it was hard to hold onto late in a moto on a beat up, slick track if you tried to gun and run it.

Why haven't you been racing Jeff? Are you still jacked up from supercross? I've been waiting to see your name this summer and you've let me down......

I know for a fact that DASA Racing engines run by Dan Lamney does the head work for RV2's bike and has does alot of work wiith teams that is not advertised on the bikes. The only thing pro bike team I have seen run advertising for DASA is YOT a few years ago with Jlaw and a few others.

Seems a bit complicated, but it works! The cylinders start with you in michigan for porting, then get sent to ct in cali for seat massage, then varner gets to assemble them, but gets most credit for performance. Sounds like the HP comes mostly from you.

I From what im told i will be receiving a new bike when there released to test some new ideas, im working with a company here in the us near me in michigan on a new stand alone ecu and hope to make it work .im going to test some revised port work not to make more power but hopefully better power .Theres a lot of good men making this project work you all have seen so many pepole involved your probally wondering when Al Gore or Obamma are going to chime in and take some credit.Varner is a good freind and actually brought me in years ago to help with the Allessis projects when we hook up again i have to remember to kick him in the shins LOL.

Ron, in 2013 my son will be doing the pro am's to try to get his pro licence and we will be going back to 250s (from 450s) and we plan on using your head and cam package. We are looking forward to ride some fast 250s.Smile

Red ones of course.
