For the past two few weeks we've been riding hard. The weather has been permitable of
late. As of right now I'm on my 4th straight day riding and 11th time riding in the past two
weeks. I should have a video up within a week.
                                                                                                     Thankyou,

During the 2008 off-season Fortini MX Racing has been hard at work. We've been riding as much as humanly possible in this New England weather. We have studded tires so we ride in the snow and ice, and we even take trips down to Mototown USA. This year we will start off in one of the countries greatest organizations NESC, and as the year progresses we will race and ride with NEMX, WSP, NEMA, and NCSC, as we like to expand our racing experience, so that everyone will see us. This season Joe (17) will be racing in the 125 Amateur, and 250 Amateur, more commonly known as MX Lites B and MX B, and Brad (11) will be racing in the 65 Open, and 85C 7-11 classes, while Rob (43) will be racing in the coveted 35+A and 40+A with former pro's Steve Burdette, Pat Barton, Tony Lorusso, and John Dowd. The 2008 Season has been a great one with Joe qualifying 4th in the 125 B and 6th in the Open B at the Marshfield fair, as well as both Brad and Rob making their classes as well. Yet we still believe we can do better, our goal for 2009 is to be consistant at every race and be in the championship hunt at those closing rounds. We as a team put so much effort into our appearance and sportsmanship at every race and with our exposure we can show off and present our sponsors merchandise with the upmost appeal. Our page will be constantly monitored and updated weekly with results, photos, videos, and other important team news, so we'd appreciate if you'd check in every once in a while and all criticism, questions and comments are well taken.

This pass weekend Joe went 1-2 in the 85C class and just got promoted to 85B. So now he will be racing the 85B and the 125 Youth C. Moving up and growing faster each day he should do well for the rest of the season in the B class.

Brads clutch problems were fixed for Hemonds August 26-27th after using the bad clutch at Central and Hemonds July 29th and 30th so he could take that 1st (the 26th) and 2nd (the 27th) in the 50cc (7-8). Rob also found a burst of speed for Hemonds as well taking a 5th Overall (26th) and a 4th Overall (27th) against some of the fastest riders like Pat Barton and Steve Burdette. Joe is leading the 85 Fall Series Championship by a mile and is about to move up. Everyone on the Team is getting faster and getting ready to represent NESC at the 2nd Annual NEW ENGLAND REGIONAL at Winchester Speed Park.
