This month Motorex KTM Off-Road racers Ben Grabham
(Grabbo), and Brad Williscroft (Wonka), will take to
Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula for the famed
Baja 1000 with extra support from Force Accessories
who have come on board as a major team supporter.
Taking place from November 19 to 22 the Baja 1000 will
see Grabbo and Wonka 2009 Finke Desert Race first and
second podium holders, ride the KTM 530 EXC over a 631
mile (1000 kilometre) loop racing, starting and finishing
in Ensenada.
The duo have been trying to raise much needed funds
to contribute to the entry fees and expenses required
to enter Baja, which have now been eased with a welcoming
donation from Force Accessories.
Force Accessories develop and distribute specialty
motorcycle products to enhance protection during racing
with their primary products being radiator guards, bash
plates and case savers. The company has supported riders
in many of Australia’s leading off-road events
including the Australian Safari, Finke Desert Race,
Australian Four Day Enduro, Hattah Desert Race and Condo
750.
Now setting their sights on Baja, Force Accessories,
Director Brian Finn, said, “It’s a great
privilege to Force Accessories to help out with the
Team Australia assault on the Baja 1000. When we heard
of the effort KTM was putting in to help out Grabbo
and Wonka it was something we just had to be involved
in, particularly when it includes two of the greatest
Australian off-road riders, and we wish Grabbo and Wonka
a safe and successful event.”
Motorex KTM Off-Road Racing will feature Force Accessories
on their racing uniforms for the Baja 1000 and also
use their products on the KTM 530 EXC race bike.
