Time to get ‘Proppa’ excited about the Red Bull Pro Nationals!!
If being the Red Bull Pro National champion isn’t enough for the stars of this new, exciting series then to make it even more appealing the MC Federation have got together with Proppa.com and come up with a fantastic new concept – “The Proppa.com Van Slam!”
The UK’s largest and best, car, van and pick up accessory supplier has come up trumps and will be offering the lucky winner a year’s use with full insurance on a fully pimped out van for 2010! It’s an awesome prize but one that will not necessarily go to the winner of the Red Bull Pro Nationals.
The Proppa.com Van Slam will be a two lap sprint race before the main Red Bull Pro races get underway. Directly after qualifying the top 10 fastest riders from the MX1 and MX2 class will go straight to the gate for a flat out, bar banging, no holds barred race. When there’s a set of blingin’ wheels on the line you can bet they’ll be some serious racing and that’s before the main races even start!!
Points will be awarded 20 for the win and then just one point for last position and just like most championships the rider with the most points at the end of the year will be handed over the keys to their new ride by Proppa.com’s Adam Weaver at the final round at Wakes Colne on the 13th September. Something Adam is looking forward too.
“I’m delighted to be working with the MC Federation with such a great concept in place and actively be giving something directly to the riders who’ll be putting on a show. For Proppa.com its ideal as it shows what we can offer anyone in tricking out their vehicle, no matter what it is. I have an active interest in racing with our partnership with STR Honda and I shall certainly watch this race with interest, the racers give it their all so much at the best of times but when there’s a blingin’ van on offer I think it could get really interesting” reckons Adam.
MCF Chairman Matt Bates is equally as excited by the idea and had this to say. “Professional racers want to win no matter what but a lot can happen in a race and you have to use track craft over 30 minutes. When it’s hell for leather for two laps though all that goes out of the window, to say it’s going to be intense is an understatement and because every point counts towards the van, every rider will push like crazy for those two laps. The race will certainly set the atmosphere for the rest of the day that’s for sure. Huge credit to Adam at Proppa.com for working with us on this, we’re so pleased to have a forward thinking company like them involved with making this series something different.”
The first www.Proppa.com Van Slam takes place at the opening round of the Red Bull Pro Nationals at Landrake, Cornwall on the 19th April – Remember to get there early – you don’t want to miss this one. Two laps go quick, very quick!
