The SunTrust Moto-ST Endurance Series finale is set to take place this weekend at the historic Daytona International Speedway and Ross Millson (Hamilton, ON), Paul Glenn (Keene, ON) of Go Big Racing and fellow Canadian rider Karl Daigle (Granby, ON), are ready to make a run at the ST Class Championship during the final 8 hour endurance race with the addition of AVAcore Technologies Inc. (http://www.avacore.com/) as a sponsor for the Daytona race.
Go Big Racing will be using AVAcore's CoreControl powered by RTX (Rapid Thermal eXchange) system in the pits to assist the three rider team and crew to beat the heat during the 8 hour test of endurance and strategy. The CoreControl system will be monitored by team trainers Angie and Mike Hallman of New Hamburg, ON.
The CoreControl, powered by RTX, is cutting edge technology developed at Stanford University for core body heat extraction. CoreControl enhances the natural heat dissipation system of the body through a combined application of optimal temperature and a slight vacuum. Heat extraction is beneficial for maintaining peak mental and physical performance, or in accelerating recovery from heat stress. It has been field-tested by many collegiate and professional athletes, industrial workers, Military personnel, and Multiple Sclerosis sufferers who are heat sensitive. Studies involving athletes, firefighters and electrical workers have validated the effectiveness of this new cooling method and demonstrated remarkable results.
"The quickest and most effective way to cool down is from cooling your blood. Our hand-held CoreControl units are designed to take the most direct path through the specialized blood vessels in the palm of your hand and work to cool your body from the inside out" explains Mark Smith, AVAcore Vice President of research and technology. "This technology is a natural fit with the high temperatures on the track and in the pits of an 8 hour endurance race and we are pleased to be able to showcase our product with the Go Big Racing team."
"We are looking to capitalize on every advantage that will put us in a position to win and we feel the CoreControl system will help us combat the temperature at the track" commented Glenn on the reasoning behind the partnership with AVAcore.
"In addition to helping us at the track, Go Big Racing hopes to showcase the CoreControl system to the competitive motorcycle racing market" added Millson.
The past few weeks have been extremely busy for the Go BIG Racing team. Besides developing the recent partnerships with AVAcore and Ready Fastener for Daytona, the team have been feverishly preparing the #79 Summit Gearworks/Ready Fastener/Infinet Designs sponsored Suzuki SV650 for the final race.
"We have to thank Ultimate Cycle, Scott Laidman and Blaine Groves for their tireless help in getting the bike in top shape." commented Millson "…we also need to thank the crew from JD Graphics for making sure all our sponsors get exposure on the bike and in the paddock.
