Dirt Track

Big Future for Tom ‘Tommy Gun’ Edwards

Posted:

AMA youth rider of the year Tom 'Tommy Gun' Edwards could be Australia's next Casey Stoner, after a successful junior career in which he won the AMA National Dirt Track title, the 12-year-old is about to embark on a road race career on a YZF-R15.

The young Novocastrian has won multiple Australian and NSW Junior Dirt Track and Long Track Championships.

He placed second in the AMA titles in 2011 and is now the reigning champion.

‰ÛÏThe way he slides a bike around the dirt track is bound to give him an advantage when it comes to road racing. It happened for Casey, so why not for Tommy?,‰Û
YZF-R15 is a machine of choice for racers wishing to be involved in the MRRDA 150cc four-stroke class.
Participating Yamaha dealers are now offering this model with a free YRD carbon/stainless steel sports exhaust pipe until 27 Jan 2014 (right) and free on roads until 20 Dec 2013.
