American Suzuki Motor Corporation is offering Suzuki amateur motocross
racers the chance to attend the first-ever Suzuki Camp Carmichael - a
special riding school with legendary Motocross and Supercross racer Ricky Carmichael at his private training facility in Tallahassee, Florida.
The event is being run in conjunction with Suzuki's recently-announced
$4.2 million Motocross Contingency Program and scheduled for the week
prior to the 2012 Winter National Olympics (Mini O's). For racers that
will be going to Mini O's afterwards, there will be space reserved for
Suzuki Camp Carmichael riders at Gatorback.
Said Carmichael: "I'm really excited to team up with Suzuki and have the
opportunity to put together such a great program as Suzuki Camp
Carmichael. Suzuki's RM and RM-Z product is the best out there and the
Camp is a great chance for riders of all ages to race, have fun, earn
contingency and hone their skills at my track. I'm really looking
forward to my upcoming Daytona Amateur Supercross event and the Suzuki
Camp Carmichael later this year."
ASMC amateur race support manager Pat Alexander added: "We at Suzuki are
very excited about Suzuki Camp Carmichael. Over the years, Suzuki has
enjoyed a very special relationship with Ricky Carmichael; who
definitely is the Greatest Of All Time. Our factory-supported Supercross
and Motocross teams have benefitted greatly from Carmichael's talent
and training; and now we are delighted to share that with our amateur
racers. Our hope is that Suzuki Camp Carmichael will be a unique and
valuable experience for a select group of young riders fortunate enough
to train directly with the GOAT. No doubt about it, 2012 is the year to
race a Suzuki!"
To be eligible, riders must purchase a new RM or RM-Z motocross bike,
sign up for the 2012 Suzuki Motocross Contingency Program at
www.suzukicycles.com/racing and then go racing. For every contingency
dollar they earn, racers also earn one point toward the Camp. At the end
of the racing season, the 24 riders - twelve 85cc riders and twelve
250/ 450cc riders - with the most points will win a spot to Suzuki Camp
Carmichael and receive one-on-one instruction from Carmichael himself.
Throughout the season, racers can monitor their contingency dollars and
Camp points by visiting www.suzukicycles.com or Suzuki Scoop on
Facebook.
Points for Suzuki Camp Carmichael will be awarded based on contingency
earned from November 1st, 2011 to September 30th, 2012. Any event that
Suzuki pays contingency for during these program dates will earn points
towards Suzuki Camp Carmichael and ASMC will announce the winners on
October 15th.
