Norco, CA. (June 1, 2010) -- Another memorable Glen Helen weekend for Doug "The Doctor" Dubach at the USGP. From autograph signings at Malcolm Smith, visiting with GP friends like Stefan Everts, to line advice with Ryan Hughes, a Marty Moates tribute, "The Lap of Honor", and 1-1 moto finishes for first overall in the Vet Championship, Dubach once again lived up to the billing as the "King of Glen Helen".

Dubach enjoyed a rare day off in observance of Memorial Day, spending time with friends and family poolside but was back at the track, his real home, on Tuesday by 7am testing the latest DR.D designs.

Congratulates to Doug Dubach and a special thanks to the FIM, Todd Hoffman at Pipeline Media, John Duffy at Applied, O"Neal USA, Decal MX, Enzo, Shoei, and Yamaha for all the assistance and support.

Norco, CA. (May 25, 2010) -- Doug Dubach, Dubach Racing Development (DR.D) owner, is confirmed and ready to race the USGP at Glen Helen. The former Factory Yamaha racer, Supercross winner, 17x Vet World Champion returns to the GP roots that helped launch his career some 25 years ago.

"When I was first approached about racing this event, it seemed like it would be a walk in the park. However, everyday more fast riders keep signing up and Im forced to go out and ride longer motos," joked Doug Dubach. "Our starting gate will look like the Hangtown National from years ago. Dowd, Mataisevich, Ty Davis, plus former Champions Darryl King, Chuck Sun and Kurt Nicoll, are all still blazing fast. Mats Nilsson, from Sweden, last year"s FIM Vet Champ is on a tear again and has not lost a moto all year so Im sure he"ll be on fire."

Dubach"s family, friends, and his employees will be stationed throughout the track cheering on the #15 Yamaha YZ450F racer, dad, and DR.D boss.

The Lap of Honor will celebrate Moates victory and recognize the man that changed the face of American motocross. Doug "The Doctor" Dubach was humbled, yet ecstatic, when approached to be the rider to represent Marty Moates. Dubach will ride the #23 LOP Yamaha in Moates replica gear around Glen Helen, paying tribute to one of his earliest idols.

"It"s an honor to represent Marty Moates and his historic ride at the 1980 USPG," says Dubach. "Race fans will see the #23 Yamaha and, in a small way, pay tribute to the man who literally changed the face of motocross in the US. I"m sure it will be one of the most memorable laps I"ll experience at Glen Helen."

DR.D invites race fans to stop by the DR.D pit area for an autographed poster and to view the #23 LOP Yamaha.

nWHAT IS IT? This is an OEM quality rebuild for when your race horse starts to slow down.

WHAT'S IT COST? $147.91 (piston kit), $150.89 each (titanium valves), $23.93 (clutch springs), $72.26 (clutch inner hub), $46.28 (clutch pressure plate), $152.66 (clutch friction plates) and $500 (L.A. Sleeve porting with radius valve job).

WHAT'S IT DO? When our 2009 Suzuki RM-Z450 began to get a little long in the tooth (around 40 hours), we decided to rebuild it. Our search for OEM equivalent parts brought us to ProX Racing. ProX was founded in 1975 and has established a product line of engine parts that are predominately OEM equivalents. We didn't go whole hog, but instead decided to have our tired RM-Z450 engine rebuilt with ProX valves, piston and clutch parts, while having L.A. Sleeve (which carries ProX parts) do the head work. ]]> 2009-12-20T05:00+00:00 http://www.lasleeve.com/index.php/news1/l.a._sleeve_attends_eicma_2009_in_milan_italy http://www.lasleeve.com/index.php/news1/l.a._sleeve_attends_eicma_2009_in_milan_italy

Nick and Mark spent part of their time at the Pro-X exhibit reviewing all the new Pro-X engine parts and accessories offered for 2010. Some great new products will be introduced next year!

You Could Race, Find Out How

MXA is pleased to announce that Glen Helen will host its incredibly popular L.A. Sleeve Two-Stroke Challenge again this year. The two-stroke-only race will be held at half-time between the AMA 250/450 Nationals on May 23, 2009. It will be a one-moto race, but if it is anything like last year, it will be a barn-burner.

In 2008, Greg Albertyn used a left-over works Suzuki RM250 to take the $2000 winner"s share. The race was incredibly exciting as riders showed up on Service Honda CR500AF"s, YZ250"s, CR250s, KX250s, RM250s and KTM 250SXs. There is only one rule--it has to be a two-stroke! There was even a YZ125 in the hands of Arizona"s Ed Foedish. The field last year included Greg Albertyn, Phil Lawrence, Doug Dubach, Chuck Sun, Richie Owens, Tony Amaradio, Carter Gurnee, Ray Sommo and 30 other hopeful two-stroke riders.

The L.A.Sleeve Two-Stroke Challenge is an invitational event, but riders need to apply to be invited. Think about it! You could be racing at the Glen Helen Nationals in front of 20,000 fans (fans who really love two-strokes). You would also have to be able to handle the National track. But, to get accepted you have to send an email to Glen Helen"s Lori Bryant. She will select the 40 riders who will line up behind the gate.

The Two-Stroke Challenge is a Glen Helen-only event. It could be held at other Nationals if there was enough interest (and MXSports wants it to happen).

AP"s Mark Kalpakoff reasoned, "This is our home now.  WIth the past experience with WORCS racing conditions and the following we have built in only one year, it just makes sense to sign on for another series.
