Top 1 Oil Rider, Jonah Street
Wins Rally Mongolia!
Top 1 Rider, Jonah Street
dominated the eight day, 3,700 kilometers Rally Mongolia navigation racing.
Jonah took four-out-of-seven individual stage victories and finished Rally
Mongolia more than three-hours ahead of the nearest bike competitor at the
finish.With his victory, Jonah Street
becomes the first American to win the Rally Mongolia and adds a sixth continent
to his "where-I've-raced" record.It was on short notice that
Jonah Street, America's top Motorcycle Rally Racer, even decided to enter the
2010 Rally Mongolia. But with persistent influence from his Rally Pan Am
teammate and friend Mike Shirley and the dedication of his faithful sponsors,
Jonah fully committed and signed up a few weeks before the beginning of the
event.With the race held in such a
remote area of the world, stage reports and results from Mongolia were slow to
trickle in during the week of competition. Machine translations of race reports
from the Japanese promoting group and the lack of consistent phone and internet
service made following the adventurous race as a fan into a navigational chore
in itself.Please, join Top 1 in
congratulating Jonah on his latest victory and we all look forward to great
things from Jonah in the 2011 Dakar Rally!

TOP 1 Rider Cameron Beaubier Wins 2nd Pro SuperSport Race
 Mazda Technologies and Cameron Beaubier win Sunday's PRO
SuperSport
Race at Infineon Raceway.
Today marked Cameron
Beaubier's second AMA victory in a
season plagued with red flags. With Cameron 4 seconds in the lead,
points
leader Joey Pascarella crashed on the exit of turn 11 leaving his Ducati
in the
middle of the track, and the red flag came out again in an almost repeat
performance of yesterday's race. But unlike yesterday, Cameron got a
fantastic start and lead the pack into turn 1. For the remainder 9 lap
sprint, Cameron took charge and took the checkered flag with a 5 second
margin.
This win is Cameron's second AMA pro win of the season.
"Cameron did exactly what we knew he
could do, which was run
away" says Shawn Herrera the owner of Mazda Technologies. Cameron
did not run his normal Rockwall Yamaha, but a private bike owned by his
family
in Rockwall livery, and sponsored by Mazda Technologies. "We had a
fantastic volunteer crew this weekend…in addition to Jeff Beaubier as
the
master tech, we had Michael Aron of Mojotown (a local AFM Champion and
shop
owner), as well as Roland Cushway and Andrew Duafalla with last minute
assistance to ensure the bike, rider and team had everything covered,"
explained Herrera.
"It was great to have the opportunity
to work with Cameron and the
Mazda Technologies team this weekend, especially with Sunday's results.
We wanted Cameron to show everyone why he was on the pole, and he
didn't
disappoint. He rode a flawless race," Says Aron.
"This was an important weekend for
Mazda Technologies as we try to secure
additional sponsors and support for more of the West coast races.
Cameron
normally runs with Rockwall for the East Coast series. With the
upcoming
Laguna Seca round we wanted to put on a good show so we can secure
additional
sponsorship for Cameron to showcase his talents," mentioned Herrera.
