Halbert Bros. Racing ready for Daytona

Jethro and Sammy Halbert will be teammates once again for the 2010 AMA Pro Flat Track season. It will be a family affair as their father with their father, Willy, will serve as their mechanic, with assistance from Rob Mclendon.

Armed with 2009 and 2010 Woody Kyle Racing/Frederickown Yamaha/Kings Kustoms YZ 450's Jethro and Sammy are ready to do battle at the new Daytona Short Track on March 3-4. Jethro will ride the No. 69 machine, while Sammy will be aboard the No. 7.

The team has done great work in the off season and are more prepared than ever. Jethro won the NW Extreme Indoor Flat Track Pro class Championship and also day two of the Las Vegas Championship indoor short track races this winter. Sammy has recovered nicely from the 2009 Pomona, CA GNC Finale' where he broke his left leg. He still managed to come from behind and place third which earned him the 2009 Overall Grand National Championship and a single digit number.

"My performance has improved dramatically since I began working closely with Graham Crossfit at the beginning of the 2009 season," Sammy said. "Our training program gives me the confidence that I will be there at the end of every race, broken leg or not. I am really excited about having big brother Jethro on the team. He will be a huge asset, and I am looking forward to seeing his results continue to improve now that he is on our program."

"I am really happy to be back on the family team, obviously Sam and my Dad have a good program going and I am looking forward to working with them and all of the teams sponsors," Jethro said. "Last year was really tough because of some unfortunate accidents that happened in front of me caused injuries that had me sidelined for most of the season. I am really excited to get back out there and get some results."

The team's key Singles series sponsors largely remain the same as last year with Woody Kyle Racing building the engines and Fredericktown Yamaha providing parts support. Joe Mathews of Kings Kustoms will do all the custom paint work. The team also has new sponsors that have stepped up in these tough economic times to help keep things rolling for the team, including NW road racing legend Mike Sullivan of www.sullivanracesschool.com.

The team will once again base out of their Cincinnati, Ohio shop during the summer months.
