braaap set to take on USA with NASCAR star Marcos Ambrose

Its been a huge month here at braaap and I've just arrived back from a trip to the USA, where I spent time with Australian V8 Supercar Champion and NASCAR star Marcos Ambrose.

Marcos is a Local boy from Launceston and has made it big time racing cars, NASCAR has the largest fan base for any motorsport on the Planet. Marcos now lives in Charlotte -the heart of Nascar.

It was awesome to go and spend time in Charlotte, I got a look through some NAscar workshops and we checked out the local Moto Scene.
We went to a local arenacross, 480 riders! the sport is Huge in the US!

So you ask what is our plans for braaap USA????

The grand Vision is to roll out franchised stores across the USA as we are doing in Australia, to build the sport of superlite and to develop the racing and riding community of the superlite industry.

Stage 1 of our roll out is very focused on becoming the number 1 superlite team, we have a truck and 40ft traielr being wrapper in braaap colours, we are developing great contingency programs and are speaking to some of the best riders on the planet, Marcos is a racer at heart and his words to me were "we need to win Vegas" "Give me a list of riders who could win" "lets build the number 1 team"

We have a great operational team in the USA, every one has motorsport backgrounds and is so pumped to be braaapn it up.

We will be very focused on event based retail and marketing and Online for the first 6 months.
We have a huge amount of spares parts to make sure we an offer the best service in the moto industry, and can back up every bike we sell.

We will sign p only a select amount of dealers, although Ive had enquiries from many dealers already we cant just have any one, we dont just want to sell bikes, our mission is to develop the sport of superlite riding and racing.

So its all go!

Ill keep you all posted!

Launceston superlite Club president makes some Notes from The TAS ZOO race Day.

Hey man, sick day today, good to see everyone lovin it!

Braaap club in Lonny is stronger than ever, awesome to see dudes like Chinny, Probo, Jonny B, Brooksy& Jimmy B taking ownership of the track and pumped to do more! Makes it worthwhile when people like Dan Ahearne come up and tell ya it’s the best track they have ridden on, and we have only just begun! I thought I would pass onto you that Harvey and his mate came up to me at the end of the day, shook my hand and said thanks and that they thought we had done a sick job, it’s the small things like that make all the hard work worthwhile!

I think the Tas Zoo event is worthwhile of a bit of a write up on the braaap website! Also been thinking that maybe give a mention to not just the people that are winning everything, but also people that don’t often feature in the results but have a top 3 riders of the day. It will also give these people a feeling that they are getting noticed and not just making up the numbers!

My votes for riders of the day go to:

1. Jonny B! The oldest bloke on the track and an inspiration for the rest of us “old” blokes! He had some sick rides for a 2nd in B grade but he was more stoked about getting down to about the last 7 in Last Man Standing.

2. Holly! Pretty much her first ride and fronts up for race day. Had a wild flip out of the starting gate first race, I thought she would call it quits for the day but she lined up for the next race and then got quicker all day, awesome effort!

3. Jess W! Not sure where she finished in the girls but is clearly the most improved in the fast growing chicks class with some 2nd place finishes. Might be the expert tips from her 10” championship winning boyfriend!

Anyway, glad we pulled off a good day, we have an awesome crew and we’re all keen to get some money raised and keep building on what we have got!


see ya at the launcseston round of Super X


Talk soon old boy

a visionary company braaaaaaaaaaaaaaap

A visionary company is like a great work of art. Think of Michelangelo’s scenes from Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel or his statue of David. Think of a great and enduring novel like Huckleberry Finn orCrime and Punishment. Think of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony or Shakespeare’s Henry V. Think of a beautifully designed building, like the masterpieces of Frank Lloyd Wright or Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. You can’t point to any one single item that makes the whole thing work; it’s the entire work—all the pieces working together to create an overall effect—that leads to enduring greatness.
