October 1, 2008, 2:50pm
Valencia, CA. – Tag Metals Is happy to announce the “Factory 8” Amateur racing program for 2009
Shawn Norfolk, Director of Marketing said, “The Factory8 race team is a concept that will help bring top amateur riders into the limelight. Amateur motocross is the backbone of our sport. Within the industry, we all know who the top up and comers are, but the general enthusiast doesn’t find out about the new kids until they show up at Millville every year. Tag Metals wants to bridge that gap for EIGHT of the top amateurs in the country. The Factory8 team riders will be treated as Professional Factory riders by Tag Metals. The Factory8 will be featured in advertisements for Tag Metals products globally. These riders will get exclusive handlebars for national events, prototype products, ONE-OFF products developed exclusively for them (such as their name and riding number on their bars) -and the like. Tag Metals will also incorporate these eight riders into their product development team. Historically, our professional race teams have helped us develop our products exclusively. By focusing a portion of the development efforts with the amateur riders, we can get additional information from the younger riders that we hope injects some new light into our offering.”
“We will be doing special Press Releases to the public, updating them about the goings-on of the Factory8 riders. Our hopes are that we can help bridge the gap as far as the General Public knowing who the fastest amateur riders are. In Stick and Ball sports, everyone knows who the “top college athletes” are. But in motocross, within our community, we all know who they are, but the general enthusiast may not. We want to help bring these amateur names into the public eye and help create a buzz about these kids before they make the jump to the professional ranks. We’ve contacted a few riders already and the response thus far has been exceptional. We have signed our first member of the Factory8. TAYLOR FUTRELL is the first member of the Factory8. We’re excited to have Taylor on this team and we are looking forward to signing SEVEN more capable athletes. ”
If you are an amateur rider with national titles under your belt and want to be treated like a Factory Rider, we ask that you contact Debbie Martin at DebbieM@sixsixone.com and request to be a part of the “Factory8” program for 2009. Please put FACTORY8 as the subject in your email and attach a current resume’. This is an exclusive situation and we will only be accepting 8 riders into this program.
