One of the most famous Brands in Motocross History, Bel-Ray is to lend its support and backing to the new UK Evo & Twinshock series; MX Vintage Bonanza, for 2015.

The series will run over 5 Rounds from traditional Motocross tracks around the South of England and welcomes riders of Twinshock, Evo and Super Evo machines.

Bel-Ray Lubricants and their famous blue logo is synonymous with the good old days of Motocross and the many legends created during the sports heyday. Such is the prominence of this heritage and the quality of their products they have also teamed up with another famous brand of this era, Husqvarna Motorcycles as both companies look to reinforce their quality and heritage going forward into the new era of Motocross racing.

He also said of the partnership; "We are delighted to announce a major sponsor for the Vintage Bonanza 2015 Series in Bel-Ray Lubricants. Its fantastic to have such a quality brand, with such a famous history to support us for next year."

As part of the package, Bel-Ray will supply all marshals with Bel-Ray Branded Apparel, with their famous logo also appearing on every Trackside Marshal Point as they look to reinforce their Heroes and Legend's promotion theme, with the marshals who support the sport in all weathers and conditions being the real Race Heroes.

We thought it was about time to introduce the world to our very own Marketing Mastermind and World record hopeful, Paul Oughton.

As well as working for us here at Rapid, Paul is about to take on what you might call an 'Out of the box' Challenge.

Next week, 10th September 2013, Paul will be gearing up to take on a World Record Attempt in aid of two Charities; Wings for Life & the Dorset Based Weldmar Hospice.

The record being attempted is 24 Hours of Motocross, starting at 12:00 Mid-day. With many stringent rules, the short version is that he must ride an MX bike around an MX Track for 24 Hours and cover a certain amount of distance. Simples !

With great support from Dave Thorpe and his Honda Team, Paul is equipped with all the right gear to last the 24 Hour attempt, including his favorite Torc1 Racing Enduro Grips and Risk Racing Palm Protectors to help him hold on.

Team Duck Smart will also be present for the attempt to keep everything clean and offer Paul all the Duck Support he needs.

The event is being held at Rogershill Race Way down in Dorset and everyone is welcome to come and cheer Paul on (He's going to need it!) or even make a donation.

In typical fashion of this Jedward Haired Dorset Yocal, he has certainly made a song and dance about the event, with a 50 minute Television Documentary going out about the attempt and numerous coverage online, in the press and live on radio.

Anyway, we can't wait to see him out there and will be helping out on the day, so come on down and see what its all about.
