From a press release issued by Richie Morris:
Brotz Motorsports, with riders Clint Brotz and Richie Morris, will join Erik Wood and the Kosco Buell/Harley-Davidson race team in 2003. All 3 riders will run XB9R Buell Firebolts in the Clear Channel Formula USA series. Morris will run select races while Brotz & Wood will make a full run for the points championship.
In addition to Morris riding, he will also assume the position of P.R. Manager for the Brotz Motorsports division. “It has always been a priority of mine to take care of the sponsors and make sure they are getting the recognition they deserve. Daytona Harley-Davidson and The Ocean Deck have been with me for 10 years now. My goal is to find more sponsors like them to join the team. I was seriously considering retiring from racing. My wife and I have a horse ranch in Elkhart Lake, and it takes a tremendous amount of my time. However, when we discussed this combination, it seemed a perfect fit. To race fewer races and be there to help the team in promotion and sponsorships made sense.
“Actually, riding a bike prepared by Rich Cronrath and Kosco will be the biggest hoot. I have chased that bike, bitched and moaned about it being so fast the past two years. Now it is ironic Clint and I will have the privilege to ride them.
“The Thunderbike series should be a very interesting in 2003. Last year, many of the top-notch race teams had priorities with the AMA Pro Thunder series. With that gone, there will be a number of talented riders concentrating on the Formula USA series. Clint certainly learned how to ride the Buells fast last year, so look for him to be up front. And just maybe I can remember how to run up there, too,” says Morris.
For team information Morris can be reached at 920-207-3977 or at [email protected].
