Jessie Wharton along with her brother Mason and father Curt will be riding for Team BRT. This a very dedicated and talented family. We are very proud to add them to our roster. We are excited to be helping out Ross Johnson for the West Coast Lites in 2010. He will be sporting some of our new hard parts we have developed.  We have been watching this exceptional rider over the last few years and congratulate him on being picked up for European SX tour this winter. CP Pistons has offered us a team sponsorship for 2010 season, another exciting partnership for us. We just got home from the US Open down in Las Vegas and had a great time hanging out with J. Whipple and his wife, Shannon. Chris Aldredge raced the 85 Invitational and took 1st place. He was the first rider in practice to clear the SX finish double, this was the highlight of our trip. 2009-10-15T19:42:22+00:00 http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/top_gun/ http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/top_gun/#When:23:06:44Z Top Gun 2009 was a soggy one again this year. Still a lot of fun was had by all. Team BRT/AES took 2nd in the Tug o War and 10th out of 60 teams. Being awarded a nice trophy from the Pacific Racing Organization. We had very nice Team Dinner’s all 3 nights a big thanks to Deah Campbell for taking care of all of us. Fred Thomas had fresh fruit out during the day to help keep everyone charged up.  A big shout out to Cody Baker for the T-shirt designs and Big Brian Geller stepped up as Team Manager helping out tremendously. Thanks to Lance and Brenda Stretch from Evergreen for providing water and Gatorade for the whole weekend along with the big whiteboard to keep everyone on track.

Even our trainer Jay Whipple showed up to race Sat and pulled down a 1st in the 30+A and 3rd in the 25+ A showing us he does know what he’s talking about.

Cody Geller got a nice 20th overall in the 450c class. His last moto Saturday he collapsed after the race and to be given to bags of IV to rehydrate. Shon got 14th on 1 race in the 250A class but a 38th overall. He ended up in the hospital after pulling off the track and passing out from heat exhaustion and then got sick on top of that and never did snap back. We had tornado warnings come through camp one night and had different warnings to evacuate and then a little later to just hunker down.  A whole lot of lightning with wind and rain but thankfully the tornado passed north of us. This was a bit different for a bunch of Washington boys… other than the rain! Josh McBride brought his bike down with us in hopes of getting bumped up from an alternate position, this unfortunately didn’t happen for him but he hung out with his Dad an rooted all the locals on. Joey Ruminer of AES racing also rode out of our trailer. Joey pulled down a 14th overall in the 250A class and 16th overall in the 250 A Pro Sport !  Joey showed tremendous heart and will power. His 1st moto of the week he also collapsed at the end and the medics rushed him down to the river to bring his core temperature down. As you can tell the climate is brutal down there. We felt we had trained hard and we were ready but next time we need to triple everything we were doing.  It is definitely the Amateur race of a lifetime and anybody who makes it there are already tough customers and in for some of the best racing they will ever see. 2009-08-15T23:25:37+00:00 http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/latest_news/ http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/latest_news/#When:01:04:21Z Well it’s been non stop training and testing for most of the month. The time has almost arrived to pull the BRT race machine out of the driveway and down the road to Tennessee. Trailer is prepped and ready to rock. Along with the BRT bikes we are bringing Joey Ruminer from Team AES down and Josh McBrides bike. Should be some fun going on in the pits! We shot a cool new video with DTM Wed July 22nd with a focus on our Trainer Jay Whipple at local private track. Very fast bunch of boys showed up during filming: Ross Johnson, Lamay, Tyler Hansen, Wardius, Tanner Berry and others along with Team BRT and made it a great day.  This should come out right before Loretta’s and will be posted on DTM and this site. DTM will be doing daily phone interviews with the boys from Tennessee to get a feel for the racing and the atmosphere at night with all the cool non-racing events going on. Shon and Cody have been working very hard getting their conditioning to peak performance and all of us are very proud of their efforts. They have that look in their eyes glad I’m not on the line with either one of them. Jamie has moved up to a “BIG” bike and is loving her brothers 08 250 Thanks Cody!  Which in turn has moved her beloved Honda 150 to Shay Campbell to use in the Super Mini Class-he hasn’t stopped grinning for 2 weeks! Wyatt has got anew piston in his bike and swears he is riding a 450 but if you know Wyatt you know his stories….He is busy getting ready for the next Hi-Point race at Washougal coming up on Aug 9th along with his Dad. And lastly plans are proceeding very well for Top Gun most of the positions are filled—but we are looking for 1 or 2 intermediate riders who like to go fast and have fun doing it. If you are interested drop us a line. 2009-07-24T01:04:21+00:00 http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/latest_race_updates/ http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/latest_race_updates/#When:05:45:44Z We have a couple of race updates here as we have been doing a lot of racing lately! July 2nd: Cody and Shon trained with Jay Whipple at Riverdale and Wyatt, Brian Geller, and Tony worked hard on the track as well. Then everyone loaded up and left to run down to Portland for Thursday Night Motocross. Everyone did well and had a good night with the exception of Shon who had a mishap on the finish line table pretzeling a bike and coming away with a nasty headache. July 3rd:  We left PIR early and shot up to Washougal for a full day of practice getting ready for the weekend hi-point series. We pitted and camped with team AES having a great time with the Money family, Jake Anstett, and the Howells. July 4th: Today was Tony and Lori’s anniversary so congratulations to them! We also had a great day of racing in the heat, so Loretta’s here we come! The night was awesome and Washougal had a band and fireworks with Brian Barnes stepping up to the mike and laying it down. July 5th: Today brought more great racing with Shon feeling better and hitting the track. Cody Geller had some great rides as well. This week the guys are training with Jay at Burnt Ridge Thursday and Riverdale on Sunday. Shon and Geller are hitting the gym hardcore while Matt is healing up and getting Shon’s and Cody’s bikes ready for Tennessee. Shon will be sporting #14 and Geller #34. 2009-07-09T05:45:44+00:00 http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/breaking_news/ http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/breaking_news/#When:08:23:20Z Last weekend at Portland International Raceways for the Pacific Racing Organization series, our intermediate rider Matt Mortenson was injured from a big get off in practice Saturday morning. He has a lacerated liver but is stable in the hospital. He has to stay until at least Wednesday and will not be released to ride for at least 6 months. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you. On a better note, team riders Shon Wilson and Cody Geller are training hard and preparing to leave for Loretta Lynn’s on July 25th. We are also taking pro rider Joey Ruminer from AES and the bikes of Josh McBride. Check back later this week for results from all of our riders last weekend at PIR. This weekend we are heading to Washougal for their series. Wish us luck! 2009-07-01T08:23:20+00:00 http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/washougal_regional_results/ http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/washougal_regional_results/#When:22:55:28Z This is just a quick update on how the BRT riders did at the Loretta Lynn Regional Qualifier at Washougal MX Park last weekend. We are pleased to announce that we have two of our national riders heading to Lorettas for the race in August. Cody Geller qualified in the 450F Mod Junior class and Shon Wilson put on a spectacular show qualifying in 1st for the 250F and 450F Pro classes along with qualifying spots in the 250F and 450F Pro Sport classes. Exact results will be up later this week so keep tuned! Also coming up later this week is Thursday Night MX at Portland International Raceways and then rounds 9 and 10 of the P.R.O. series also at Portland International Raceways! Check out Shon scrubbing the step up at Washougal 2009-06-15T22:55:28+00:00 http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/rounds_7_and_8_of_the_p.r.o._series/ http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/rounds_7_and_8_of_the_p.r.o._series/#When:03:03:47Z So this weekend we ventured to Washougal MX Park for rounds 7 and 8 of the Northwest National MX Series. Earlier in the week, we got a call from the pro rider Kevin Urquhart who wanted a ride for the weekend. He was in town on his way to the Canadian nationals and needed a 250F for the the weekend. Kevin of course is a friend, so we lent him Tony Baker’s personal 250F! For the Friday practice, it decided to rain the entire time, thus leading to an absolutely drenched track for Saturday’s race. During Kevin’s race on the 250F, he pulled the holeshot which lead him to a solid finish in 2nd place behind Greg Crater. In the 450 pro class, he finished with a 7th place. Saturday was limited to a one moto format due to the horrible weather. Matt Mortenson finished in 7th place in the 250 intermediate moto, Cody Geller finished in 4th in the 450 junior moto and 3rd in the 250 junior moto, Matt Holtman placed 5th in the 250 beginner class and 4th in the unlimited beginner class. Shay Campbell placed 3rd in the 85 junior class with his dad finishing 4th in the 40+ Sportsman class. For Sunday, the track dried up a bit which put it in excellent condition for racing. Kevin placed 3rd overall in the 250 A class with a 2nd overall in the 450 A class and 2nd overall in the Unlimited A class. Cody Geller placed 11th overall in the 250 junior class with an 11th in the 450 junior class as well. Matt Holtman placed 2nd overall in the unlimited D class and 3rd overall in the 250 D class. Shay Campbell got an 11th overall in the 85 junior class and 24th in the 85-150cc Supermini class while his dad placed 5th overall in the 40+ Sportsman class. Wyatt Baker placed 6th in the Unlimited Beginner class and Jamie Baker placed 5th in the Women Beginner class. All in all it was a pretty decent weekend despite the weather and it was great to be able to see Kevin get out and ride. This weekend we’ll be back at Washougal for the Loretta Lynn Regional Qualifiers where Cody Geller and Shon Wilson will be fighting for a spot at this massive race. Keep posted for results!!! 2009-06-12T03:03:47+00:00
