SUPERTRAPP SUPPORTS XTREME ICE RACING Hockey arenas throughout the nation will soon play host to an exciting form of motorcycle racing when the XIIR (Xtreme International Ice Racing Series) hits the ice. This AMA/ FIM sanctioned series has gained momentum in the racing industry over the last few years and was recently recognized at the 2005 AMA awards banquet. The XIIR, which features riders racing at up to 60 mph without brakes, is a series of 10-12 motorcycle and ATV races held in hockey arenas throughout the United States. For the fourth consecutive year, Supertrapp has been named the official exhaust sponsor of the event. This season SuperTrapp will provide all Speedway racers in the series with a full exhaust system designed specifically for the speedway chassis. Because of the substantial power boost provided by SuperTrapp’s tunable disc technology, all racers are required to equip their bikes with a SuperTrapp exhaust so that no racer has an unfair advantage. “The SuperTrapp mufflers are a perfect fit for ice racing because with so much speed and no brakes, throttle control is key,” said Anthony Barlow, champion ice racer and organizer of the XIIR. “The tunability of the SuperTrapp mufflers allow us to fine tune the power of these machines for different levels at different speeds so it hits when we need it to hit.” According to Barlow, the SuperTrapp systems allow for such fine control of power that they are often re-tuned between each heat and the main to account for an increasing track size as the number of participating riders increases. Because all races are held indoors, the ability to control sound levels is another important factor, said Barlow. The high-speed events feature 500 cc methanol-burning Speedway motorcycles and performance ATVs, equipped with studded tires, speeding around the tight track of a hockey arena. Two open ATV classes will be featured at every race. “Ice racing fans enjoy the fast action and spectacular crashes,” said Ted Bradley, race coordinator for SuperTrapp. “Every one of the racers and organizers are very passionate about the sport of ice racing. They put on an exciting show for the fans and represent our product with a high level of professionalism. The 2005 XIIR series was such a success that we feel privileged to be on board in 2006.” For a schedule of XIIR races and more information, visit www.xiir.com.
