Bayview, Wisconsin – wforacingonline.com is pleased to announce it’s intention to compete in AMA Pro Racing’s recently announced Vance & Hines XR1200 spec class with former AMA Pro Thunder Champion and 883 Twins Sport front runner Shawn Conrad at the handlebars for the Road America round. Rider Shawn Conrad: ‘I’m excited to be riding one of these awesome wforacingonline.com tuned XR1200 motorcycles. I rode the team’s XR at Barber at the end of last season and was impressed. I was able to give a lot of feedback and am looking forward to getting on the new bike and seeing what we can do at my home track’. Team Principal Wes Orloff: ‘We are excited to be on the grid at the inaugural race of the Vance & Hines XR1200 spec series at our home track with a proven talent like Shawn. We have been friends for a number of years and often talked about putting together an AMA effort. We have a lot of history and experience with the XR1200, and we feel we can give Shawn a competitive ride’. The team campaigned an AHRMA Battle of the Twins Formula 2 prepared Harley-Davidson XR1200 ridden to a regional championship in 2009 by team fabricator Rick Goldberg. ‘We learned a tremendous amount racing the Formula 2 XR1200 with Rick last year. I think that will be a big advantage for us at the first race of the Vance & Hines Series’. Currently the team is looking for a primary sponsor. Orloff: ‘We have some great product sponsors that have come over from our successful Buell program, as well as Shawn’s personal sponsorships, but we are still looking for a primary sponsor that would be interested in teaming with us. We have some cool stuff lined up that will put a really positive light on our program’. The team and their season will be the subject of a Harley-Davidson social networking program, and will be filmed/broadcast during the bike build, testing, and race weekends on Harley-Davidson Facebook and MySpace sites, as well as on YouTube. Wforacingonline.com is a Milwaukee based racing team with multiple Buell Battle of the Twins club racing championships to their credit. The wforacingonline.com XR1200 is sponsored by Motowerks, Cometic Gasket, Racetech, EBC brakes, Shoei, and Fall’s Tap.
