IN THE WIND P30 BIGGER, BETTER TRADERS RACING KAWASAKI TEAM TO MAKE SX DEBUT W ith the opening round of the 250SX Eastern Regional Supercross Series less than a week away, one of the revamped teams to watch is the Traders Racing Kawasaki Team. The team is not exactly new but has grown significantly since last year, recently hiring Skip Norfolk as race di- rector. Norfolk was Jeremy McGrath's tuner when McGrath was piling on the SX titles while with Team Honda. Kenny Day is the team's manager. The Maryland-based team features riders Anthony Rodriquez, Justin Starling, Tony Archer and Nick Gaines. Rodriquez and Starling will campaign the 250SX East class, while Archer will hope to make his 450SX debut in Atlanta, as well. Archer is recently coming off a hand injury. Unfortunately, Gaines won't make his Traders' debut until the start of the Lucas Oil Pro Moto- cross Championship in May. He broke his femur during the off-season. CN Traders Racing Kawasaki will have a heavy presence at the start of the 250SX East Championship this weekend in Atlanta.
