AHM Factory Services Helps Ox Motorsports Racers Finish On Top in Baja

YORBA LINDA, Calif. (April 23, 2015) – Ox Motorsports racers entered the inaugural Bud Light SCORE Baja Sur 500 race with the aim of a strong finish to set them up for a series championship. Colton Udall, team co-owner, rode the entire Baja race solo and crossed the finish line victorious. “One awesome moment in the race for me was when Justin Morgan (Ricky Brabec 1x co-rider) and I were racing just after La Paz and we battled back and forth and we both had the bikes wide open. It was a battle for the power of the dust. I’m happy that I’m here and I didn’t put the bike on the ground once,” said Udall after crossing the finish line on the team’s 5x Honda as first motorcycle overall. Mark Samuels, Ox Motorsports team co-owner, rode the team 3x Honda CRF450X to a second-place finish overall in the Open Pro M/C class. 

To help prepare suspension on the Ox Motorsports Honda race bikes for Baja, AHM Factory Services partnered with Udall and Samuels before the race season. AHM’s Justin Lewis and Brandon Petersen also helped ready the Ox race machines for the San Felipe 250, where Udall and Samuels finished first and second, respectively, in the Moto Pro Unlimited class.  

“Ox Motorsports came to us,” said AHM’s Lewis, “and we were happy to take on the task of helping return the SCORE 1x Plate to the Ox Motorsports team and Honda. We enjoy working with these dedicated racers who carry themselves in a professional manner on and off the race track.” AHM will do suspension and engine work for Ox Motorsports riders, including Udall, Samuels, Justin Jones and Ray Dal Soglio, for races including SCORE events, the Big 6 GP series, the National Hare ‘n Hound races, and other select events.

MXA Featured our CRF250 Project

Note: The Motocross Action (MXA) wrecking crew tested this AHM-tuned Honda CRF250, and featured the bike in the Feb. 2015 issue. The copy below is excerpted from that story. 
By combining their expertise – Petersen is an engine builder and Lewis specializes in suspension – they created a one-stop shop for riders looking for performance. … Most start-ups fail within the first year due to a lack of focus, poor leadership, limited capital, bad timing or a faulty long-term strategy. AHM Factory Services overcame these obstacles with a three-pronged strategy.

1. Go above and beyond customer expectations. Customer satisfaction and success go hand in hand.
2. Offer specialized services that are unique in the marketplace. For example, AHM can hard-carbon-coat fork tubes and tumble transmissions.
3. Petersen and Lewis have done well for themselves because they make work their lives. Burning the midnight oil and never resting until the job is done ensures unparalleled quality.

That’s where the AHM Factory Services Honda CRF250 comes into the picture.
