URIG WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
tz250racing's own Todd Urig goes to the top in three short years!
November 8, 2007

Thanks to tz250racing.com, Rick Merhar at www.accu-products.com (check out the new website  cool!), AHRMA, WERA and USGPRU.  To anyone thinking of racing these bikes DO IT!!!

This year I won 2 AMA Sports National Championships and the AHRMA open two stroke national championship.  I would have to say the biggest factors of going from never being on the track to being competitive in three years were Rick's mentoring on tuning, set up and how to work on the bike, this forum and the very competitive Open Two Stroke class in AHRMA (Johnathan, Karsten, Thomas, Chris, Colin, Bill).  Although still not faster than these guys they have challenged me to up the pace and helped me along the way.

Anyone getting into these bikes this is a great series to race with.  Thanks to all!  Anyone needing help getting into the sport I would be happy to help as others on here have done with me.

Learn one racer's mindset when it comes to racing your TZ and learning when your tires have had enough.

Passing as an art
by Gregg Bonelli

If you race very long, you inevitably notice a pattern about races: You start, then you pass everyone you can, everyone who can pass you does so, and then you ride to the end and see where you finish. If you are a beginner, almost all your concentration has to be devoted to going fast and dealing with the track, not with other riders.

Oliver Weighs In On New AMA Pro Racing Rules for 2004
RoadracingWorld - 4/29/2003

Rich Oliver comments on the AMA Road Racing rule changes for 2004 involving 250cc GP moving into a new Xtreme class with 600cc Superbikes.

"to gain parity with the 600cc Superbike, my suggestion would be to limit the 600 to Supersport engine modifications... the same specifications as used in the current 600cc Supersport class... Giving the 250 a displacement increase will not really be useful.
