HUNTERSVILLE,
N.C.
(Aug. 10, 2010) – JGRMX Engine and Suspension Services backed Cooper
Webb racked up an astonishing four titles at the 2010 NMA Grand National
Championships in Ponca City, Okla. and added a fifth this past week at the 29th
Annual Amateur National Motocross Championships held at Loretta Lynn’s
Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn.





The
14-year old has amassed 54 amateur national championships to his credit.  The
NMA Grand National Championships were held on July 26-31 with young Webb
winning titles in the 85/150 Stock 14-16, 85/150 Modified 14-16, 85/150 Open
and 150 Four-Stroke divisions.  Webb contested for two championships at the
Amateur National Motocross Championships at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch held
Aug. 2-7.  In the Supermini 1 division Cooper won the championship winning two
of the three motos.  The Supermini 2 race was a battle that came down to Webb
needing to win the final moto to take the title.  With a 10 second lead on the
final lap just seconds from the finish a lapped downed rider on the backside of
a jump caused Webb to go down with several riders then landing on him.  Webb
pulled himself from the pile-up and finished the moto in third place earning
the runner-up position for that title.





“Mitchell
and I (Mitchell is the engine builder for JGRMX Engine Services) felt like we
had some good settings for Cooper’s engine and gearing and he rode with
heart and determination.  We all felt terrible that he lost the second
championship at Loretta’s that way but he rode like a champion all
week,” said Spencer Bloomer, JGRMX’s Research and Development
Technician.  “We spent a lot of time testing at our professional track in
North Carolina getting Cooper’s suspension dialed in and it really worked
out well at the race,” added JGRMX Suspension Services suspension
technician Tim Shutt.





Cooper’s
amazing summer was recognized by the American Motorcyclists Association (AMA)
who bestowed him the honor of Youth Motocross Rider of the Year.  This award is
given annually to one motocross rider under the age of 16 that the AMA feels is
a standout.  The award will be presented to Cooper at the AMA Racing
Championship Banquet scheduled for Nov. 21 in Las Vegas, Nev.
