Retink Racing launch their six-rider line up that they hope will take them to success in 2012…
It seems that everybody you speak to nowadays is full of doom and gloom and not busy and broke but at least it is good to see 1 business flourishing through the recession and that business is Balbriggan Co Dublin based “Retink Graphics”, writes Noel O’Leary.
Retink Graphics is owned by motocross racer, 26 year old Stefan Byrne. Stefan who took a break from top grade motocross racing 2 years ago to start his business, has taken it from strength to strength making a very successful business through blood, sweat and hard work and a lot of help from his family.
But through all this hard work he has had the time this year to set up a motocross team and also to be the sole sponsor for the 2012 Irish Adult Motocross Championship. So this year the Championship will be known as “The Retink Racing Adult Irish championship”. Stefan is also mounting his own Kawasaki 450 to return to the racing circuit.
Team Retink Graphics will have a six-strong team competing at various levels, and there is no doubt that it is going to be a busy season for the team. The team consists of the following riders – #313 Jordan Keogh riding in MX 2 Premier, # 22 Stefan Byrne riding in MX1 Premier, #93 Jason Vaughan riding in MX 2 Premier, #576 James Callaghan riding in MX1 Clubman # 662 Alan Scott riding in the MX 2 Clubman, and #313 Joshua Keogh riding in the 50cc Automatic.
The team are very optimistic about the season, and they are also realistic about the task that lies ahead. All riders are looking for a top five in their respective championships, and they know it will be a tough task to achieve the results. The team will compete on Kawasaki machinery supplied by CCM Dublin, and all riders will be wearing Wulfsport UK gear. The bikes look great in their new livery supplied by Stefan’s company Retink Graphics. All the team riders are being sponsored with personal trainers by Stringer fitness in Ashbourne, and this should help with their season preparation. Retink Racing had their launch and fundraiser recently in the Hills Cricket Club, and they were delighted with the turnout.
