Walt Sipp and Thrashed Bike Racing Announce 2012 Racing Plans Breaux Bridge, LA Thrashed Bike Racing/Bison Racing rider Walt Sipp announced today that he will make a return to the AMA Daytona Sportbike Series as well ASRA Team Challenge and ASRA Thunderbike riding for Tim Ivanoff’s Thrashed Bike Racing and the late Dick Fish’s Bison Racing. With the AMA, the team will participate in the Road Atlanta, Barber and New Orleans rounds of Daytona Sportbike on a Buell 1125R. The team also plans a full championship assault on the ASRA Team Challenge Series riding the Buell 1125RR as well as the ASRA Thunderbike Series riding a Buell XB12R. Sipp said, “I’m really happy with what we have put together for 2012. Last year Tim and I came close to a couple championships with the ASRA in our first season working together. We learned a lot and really think we can improve for this season.” He continued, “Thunderbike should be fun as well. Last year I did only two races, but was able to win them both. I’m hoping for more success in the class this year and hopefully win a championship for my late friend. Dick may not be around anymore, but his memory lives on and I know he’d be happy with what we’re doing. Bison Racing is backing our return to the AMA.” Tim added, “We had an exciting year in the 2011 ASRA Team Challenge series and expect to bring our A game to the series again this year. The ASRA series has been great preparation to step into a limited appearance with AMA Pro Racing. Walt has been an excellent partner and we are looking forward to the start of the season. A big thank you to the volunteer pit crew all last year and Thanks especially to my partners Cyril and David Guidry at Arrow Aviation for helping me realize the Team’s potential. Walt would like to thank personal sponsors, Bison Racing, KBC Helmets, Arlen Ness, Vortex, Zero Gravity, EBC Brakes and EC3D Compression.
