Top Australian junior racer, Ben Kearns (current leader of the J3 class of the Australian Off-road Nationals with an undefeated season so far), has arrived in the USA to do battle at the next respective National Enduro race and GNCC race with support from the ground breaking DirtWise "Ready to Race" bike rental program on a fully prepped KTM 200 two stroke machine.

Three other Australian riders who will also be riding fully prepped DirtWise KTM machinery - current ISDE competitor Scott Campbell, former ISDE competitor Rod Kearns, and amateur rider Tom Barbour will join Kearns at these two races.

Kearns had this to say, "I can't wait to race these events as it has been a lifelong dream of mine, and so far my experience with the DirtWise "Ready to Race" program has been exceptional - I am so happy to receive this opportunity to further my racing career and gain more racing experience! I know I'm with the right team to get the best support and achieve some great results."

The three other riders echoed Ben's words by adding, "Having fully prepped DirtWise KTM race bikes at our disposal, at such a cheap price, allows us to embarked on a journey that otherwise would not have been possible without spending a whole heap of money. If anyone else out there is thinking of checking off this bucket list item then the DirtWise "Ready to Race" bike rental program is what you need to do!"

DirtWise owner, and Off-road racing legend, Shane Watts is very enthusiastic about the attendance of the four Australians for these races, saying, "To make dreams come true, and giving riders the chance to roost at a National Enduro or GNCC race when they otherwise couldn't provides me with such a great feeling. I'm stoked to give not only these guys, but also everyone else out there, the chance to come travel, hang out, and race with us - we have so much fun doing this! The excellence that our on and off track support achieves is exceptional and is the best available whether you are just a weekend warrior wanting to have a crack at a National race or if you are an International Off-road star coming to try to win the Overall."
