Justin Barcia Claims 7th Overall at Weston Beach Race on Bone Stock GaSGaS!

Justin Barcia made an impressive showing at the 2024 Weston Beach Race, finishing 7th overall, just six minutes behind race winner Conrad Mewse. Competing on a bone stock GASGAS 350, Barcia faced the challenge of making five pit stops for fuel, yet still managed to push through the grueling race with determination. Reflecting on the experience, Barcia shared, “On a bone stock 350 with 5 pit stops to get fuel, I think we had a good shot at it on a legit setup. Next time.”

Following the race, Barcia expressed his excitement for the future, posting, “So amazing here at Weston Beach Race. Checked a few sections out after the race today, wow it looks mega. Broke in an off-the-showroom-floor GASGAS 350 thanks to SC Sporthomes and Marsh Powersports for sorting it out! Gonna line up tomorrow with the boys…we won’t be competing for the win this year, just going to do a few laps, enjoy it, and have some fun before heading back to the States to get back to business. I will definitely be back in the future with a bike set up properly to give the 3-hour race a fair shot.” With his sights set on future challenges, Barcia’s passion for the event remains strong

Determination!

Honda Racing’s Joey Savatgy has broken through to claim the SX1 overall victory in Redcliffe’s second round of the 2024 Fox Australian Supercross Championship.

The opening final was a thrilling affair that saw Savatgy involved in a battle alongside Luke Clout (Empire Kawasaki) and night one winner Dean Wilson (Honda Racing). Clout initially led the field before Wilson made his move, however a mistake by the reigning champion in the opening laps saw him relinquish the lead.

Clout regained control while under pressure from Savatgy – the duo battling it out as Wilson reentered the fight for the lead. It came down to the final lap, but it was Clout who prevailed ahead of Savatgy and Wilson.

CDR Yamaha Monster Energy duo Matt Moss and Jed Beaton completed the top five ahead of Aaron Tanti (Honda Racing), Hayden Mellross (KTM), Dylan Wills (GasGas Racing Team), Jack Mather (Raceline Husqvarna Tdub Racing), and Luke Zielinski (Yamaha).

The second final was a relatively uneventful encounter, with Clout initially leading before Savatgy made his move, going onto secure victory by 2.706s over Wilson, as Clout settled for third position.

Beaton and Wills were fourth and fifth respectively, followed by Brett Metcalfe (Penrite GO24), Mellross, Tanti, Joel Wightman (Yamaha), and Zielinski. Overall, it was Savatgy from Clout and Wilson – the defending champion holding a one-point lead in the championship standings.

Wollongong will host round three of the Australian Supercross Championship, scheduled for 2 November in New South Wales.

Fox Racing, Bell Helmets Among Companies Sold to Strategic Value Partners for $1.125 Billion

by Slaw Dog

For the second time since 2022, Fox Racing will have new owners, as Fox Racing and Bell Helmets—along with other brands such as Giro, Bushnell, Stone Glacier, Camelback, Sims and more—were sold to private equity firm Strategic Value Partners. 

In a deal announced earlier this week, Revelyst, “a collective of world-class maker brands that design and manufacture performance gear and precision technologies and a segment of Vista Outdoor Inc.,” entered into an agreement under which SVP-managed funds will acquire Revelyst in an all-cash transaction based on an enterprise value of $1.125 billion. 

In 2022, Vista Outdoor acquired Fox from Altamont Capital, a San Francisco-based private investment firm, for $540 million.

David Geenberg, Head of North American Corporate Investments at SVP, said, “We look forward to working with Eric Nyman and the rest of the team leading this world-class outdoor gear and technology business. For almost a year, we closely followed Revelyst’s progress with this complex transaction. During that time, Revelyst has gained share through a difficult period for consumer spending thanks to the strength of its leadership, its employees and efforts like GEAR UP. With this investment, we plan to put SVP’s full operating resources and network behind Revelyst to help accelerate the success of this market leader.”

“We are excited to partner with SVP and believe this acquisition is a positive step for Revelyst’s future,” said Revelyst CEO Eric Nyman. “As I reflect on the last year, I am incredibly appreciative of our management team, our employees and our maker community for getting us here. We couldn’t have done this without everyone’s contribution. I believe the best is yet to come for Revelyst and for our customers, suppliers and retail partners. This partnership with SVP is going to make us a stronger company and afford us more opportunities to innovate and deliver top-tier products to outdoor enthusiasts while enhancing our market leadership in the outdoor recreation industry.”
