From a press released issued by Ozbike USA:

OZBIKE and Metra Kit have teamed up with W.E.R.A., C.M.R.A and other clubs around the USA to bring a new dimension to motor sports. We have duplicated our very successful, European cup and championship structure in the USA. Kids between 7 and 14 will go road racing for points with W.E.R.A. which will qualify all racers to participate in our invitational in OCT-NOV. The invitational will qualify the top five riders for a spot at the World Mini GP in Spain.

Last years World Mini GP event in Valencia brought together 47 fast kids from 8 different countries. OZBIKE was proud to bring two Americans Josh Herrin and Tommy Aquino who placed very well (6th and 7th) in a field of very seasoned racers. In 2004 we hope to bring 5 fast young Americans to represent the US at this level. As a result of the World Mini GP event, the top riders will get a chance to meet some of the World GP 125 teams and earn a chance to test ride a world caliber 125 with one of those teams.

The goal of OZBIKE USA and Metrakit together is to create the next generation world sensations in the next 2 years. One of our Spanish team riders Pere Tutusaus, who raced in an invitational in Portland, OR. 2 years ago is now an official team member of the R.A.C.C. 125 world team. Next year at 14 he will be legal to show his stuff during the world 125 season. OZBIKE USA of course would like for those sensations to be Americans.
