Congratulations to Jay Whipple and Phil Nicoletti. You can view the video here: http://www.racerxonline.com/video/Phil-Nicoletti-supercross-04-27-10.aspx 2010-04-28T04:16:44+00:00 http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/j._whipples_2010_update/ http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/j._whipples_2010_update/#When:08:58:17Z Pacific Northwest’s J.Whipple is having a great year so far, his students Ryan Villipoto and Josh Hill are tearing up the supercross tracks in 2010. Ryan Villipoto hired longtime friend and trainer (J.Whipple) to start working for him at the second supercross of the year. “I got the call at the Phoenix Supercross saying he needed help. We took off 1.5 seconds from the first timed practice to the second. From there he got second that night and we have been working together since.” Also since being hired by R.V I was hired by the Hart and Huntington team last week to come out and work with there guys in Las Vegas. I worked with Chris Blose and Matt Boni. They both did an awesome job. Unfortunalety Boni had a crash and did not race this weekend but Blose had his best heat finish yet with a 4th place. Starting this week I will be flying to California to work with my new lites rider Phillip Nicoletti and R.V. for the San Diego and A3 rounds. 2010-02-03T08:58:17+00:00 http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/its_been_awhile/ http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/its_been_awhile/#When:10:57:12Z Well it’s been awhile since our last posting busy through the holidays and all that… We went down to Utah for Thanksgiving with our good friends Lance, Brenda and Mike Stretch. They have been busy building their dream home on 20 acres in the mountains by Park City. As you can see by the pictures the most important part of any homestead was completed well ahead of the house being a kick ass track built by Brandon Thomas. The property rests at 8000 feet so breathing and jetting was a bit different but didn’t seem to slow us down too much. Lance and Brenda are huge supporters of BRT and their son Mike is a Team BRT Junior rider this year with his sights set firmly on going to Tennessee for the Loretta Lynn Nationals. We as a team also have access to their track as a private training compound for BRT. We have plans to be down there as much as possible once the snow melts.Lance and Mike are in Phoenix this week training with Brandon Thomas and trying out their 2010 Honda setup for them by our own Matt of MRP. Other happenings…we have been racing at Oakwood quite a bit this winter. This track as been a great resource added to the area. With the first 2 weekends of every month set aside for Saturday practice and Sunday racing with training on Tuesday with Jay Whipple and Brandon Thomas and open practice on Wednesday we are able to get quite a bit of riding during the rainy season. We have enjoyed having Mike Stretch up to race with us along with Jessie Wharton, Chris Walsh, Matt Mortenson, Matt Holtman,  Tanner and Avrie Berry, Austin Wurster, Don and Josh McBride, and Ross Johnson has been around as well. Austin Wurster suffered major injury to both feet at Oakwood while doing a triple and his bike went into positive neutral. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers while he has ongoing surgery and an extensive recovery and rehabilitation. Tanner Berry is out on injury as well right now, but seems to be healing up quickly. Ross Johnson has been racing locally a bit sweeping the classes at Pasco and Wenatchee. Also zipping back and forth to Europe and doing quite well in the European SX series ongoing over there. Ryan Skinner has been training hard in California at the SX Academy. He had his debut SX ride at Phoenix which ended in a crash when he had some carburetor problems. But he is ok and going onto A2 with good spirits and determination. Cody Geller has been ripping the track up here locally and in Wenatchee at the Bad Boys of Arena Cross stop in the INT. Class. He is on a blue 250 2-stoke and it seems to fit him quite nicely. Don’t blink when he goes by or you might just miss him. Pulling down 1st and 2nd Place he is making all of us very proud. The Wharton family spent their holidays in So Cal training with Jay Whipple with their sights set firmly on Tennessee. The Campbell family has been racing non stop across the NW. Shay has been picking up speed and experience, thanks to Eric Waunch and his Dad’s size 10 boot. But seriously Shay has been putting in some hard yards and it is really starting to show. Collin Baker and Wyatt Baker have been riding a lot and advancing well in their races. Collin made his pass and made it stick to take a 3rd Place trophy. Wyatt has been coming alive as well pulling some hole shots and wins. Follow the team on Facebook.  Hope to see you all at the track safe and sound.

Whipple and his wife, Shannon. Chris Aldredge raced the 85 Invitational and took 1st place. He was the first rider in practice to clear the SX finish double, this was the highlight of our trip. 2009-10-15T19:42:22+00:00 http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/top_gun/ http://bakerracingtech.com/index.php/site/top_gun/#When:23:06:44Z Top Gun 2009 was a soggy one again this year.
