Irvine CA, Team - Entity Motorsports -
MB1/TokyoMods - DeCal works
- announced today that Ezra Lusk is 100% ready for the Rockstar
Energy Drink U.S. Open this weekend and that the good people at the AMA have
graciously decided he can run his lucky number 11 for the race.
Ezra has been training like a mad man,
he's cycling 9.5 miles a day, training in the gym, running, and practicing on
the bike for at least 4-6 hrs a day. His endurance is phenomenal and he is in
the best shape of his life. He has really taken to heart all of the response
from fans regarding his return to racing. "It's amazing" said
Lusk," I have always been amazed and inspired by the fans, but I never
expected this coming back, It's like I have more fans now than I ever, and I am
very thankful for that"
With only a couple of days left before
the race, Ezra is still the wild card of the event, no one really knows except
him how fast he is, and at this point it's really only himself he's competing
against when he gets on that start line everything else will fade away and it
will be just him and the machine. "We feel he's ready, he feels he's
ready, now it's go time" says Chad Ottenbreit of
Entity Motorsports. "Ezra has been laying down some really fast lap times
and we have the bike completely dialed in", Says Ron Wood of Tokyo Mods. I can't tell you exactly what we've done to the bike
but I will say it's fast and Ezra is faster on it." "Ron can make it
go fast but Ezra's got to be able to ride it and Factory Showa Suspension is
ready for anything; Showa really hooked us up for the open", according to
MB1's Mike Batista. So many people and companies have come together to support
Ezra's return, that it seems like destiny is shining once again on Ezra as he
packs up his gear and heads to Las Vegas, " I feel good, I feel fast, and
I want to show all the folks who have helped me get back and especially the
fans I am here and I am ready to race!" said Lusk Tuesday from his Georgia
home.
"I'd have to say he's faster than
he's ever been" Says Jamie Allen of Relentless Media. "It's not often
in life that someone gets a second chance, If anyone
can do this its Ezra. He has more determination than anyone I know and if he
wants it bad enough, which I think he does, I don't see why he can't get inside
the top 5 or even knock on wood, a podium." Allen added. "Where we go
from here is completely up to Ezra now, as a team we have built him a fast
bike, dialed in the suspension, and got him to the race at the MGM. We've done
our part, now show time for EZRA. If all goes well this race will be just the
beginning of a new career, next it's on to supercross
and maybe outdoors depending on commitment from sponsors" said Chad Ottenbreit .
