BREA, CA – December 31, 2022 – Suzuki Motor USA, LLC is pleased to announce its continued support for the BarX Suzuki 250-class race team. The BarX Suzuki team is ready to attack the 2023 Supercross season with several new and returning riders for the 2023 season.

Derek Drake and Carson Mumford return to BarX Suzuki for 2023 and are joined by two new teammates, Robbie Wageman and Ty Masterpool.

Both Drake and Mumford are looking to push their Suzuki RM-Z250s toward the top of the standings. Mumford, from Simi Valley CA, competed in the 2022 Supercross 250 West championship, finishing 12th. Drake, hailing from San Luis Obispo, CA finished tenth in the Supercross 250 West championship in 2022.

Newcomers to the BarX team are Wageman and Masterpool who are both showing great potential aboard the Suzuki RM-Z in pre-season testing. Wageman, from Newhall, CA, finished ninth in the Supercross championship last season and is looking to break into the top tier of the championship. Masterpool, from Paradise, TX, in only his second season in Supercross is excited to put more RM-Zs in competition.

So you must think these riders can podium on another brand of bike then? Otherwise I'm failing to understand the point of that comment.

Glad to see Masterpool is a full time member of the team. The way I read the original post from a couple of weeks ago, it sounded like he was just a fill-in for Mumford.

I live in my camper, sir. What is your fabulous living situation, that inherently makes your existence and opinions so much more valuable than mine?

I see Gollum has been here for 7 odd months so I reckon it's his first time seeing a post from tyler.

Tyler is a Legend on Vital...and it's alway nice when he pops in for a chirp.

Let's see if I can put this a way you can understand.

When tyler967 sees an RM anywhere, whether it be trackside, video, a picture, or even hears "suzuki, rm, yellow bike", or the name of any rider currently riding The aforementioned machinery, he can only have one all consuming thought,

MY PRECIOUS!!!
