Seventy Thirty Racing, the Supermoto-dedicated division of Lockhart Phillips USA, has signed on as the title sponsor the SM1 class, the top amateur bracket in North America. “It would be an understatement to say we are enthusiastic about Supermoto racing,” said Wendell Phillips, President of Lockhart Phillips USA, the sportbike aftermarket behemoth he founded 24 years ago after a tremendously successful racing career. “We started Seventy Thirty in response to the specialized needs of competitive Supermoto riders, and sponsoring NASMOTO’s SM1 class is a great way to remind everyone involved in the sport that we are one of its strongest supporters.” Seventy Thirty Racing is so-named because of the typical ratio of 70% pavement and 30% dirt on Supermoto tracks, each of which is configured differently with the intent of identifying who is the best overall motorcycle racer. Seventy Thirty joins KTM, Troy Lee Designs, Yamaha and Husaberg as major industry sponsors of the ’06 NASMOTO season. Further sponsorship deals are in the works, according to NASMOTO Vice President Ted Baker. “NASMOTO welcomes Seventy Thirty Racing to our stable of sponsors, and we look forward to overdelivering on their expectations, as we work hard to do with all our partners,” said Baker. “Our organization, and the sport of Supermoto itself, offer exceptional benefits to sponsors because we’re in a position to be flexible and creative in the kinds of packages we create.” The next NASMOTO race weekend is May 13-14 at Circleville Raceway in Columbus, OH.
