HILL A GO FOR 450S
T
he Autotrader/Yoshimura/
Suzuki Factory Racing Team
announced today that Justin
Hill, who is contending the 2018
250SX West Championship, will
move up to the 450SX class at
select rounds of the AMA Super-
cross Series.
Hill, who is currently seventh in
the 250SX West Championship,
will make his 450SX debut on
the Suzuki this weekend at the
Tampa Supercross.
"I'm ultra-psyched to have this
opportunity," Hill said. "I've been
waiting a long time to ride the
all-new Suzuki RM-Z450, and
that's what our deal entails for
next year.
"To get my feet wet is crucial,
not just for racing, but also in
getting some development time
logged. We've already made a lot
of great setting choices on the
bike and I'm learning a lot. It's re-
ally easy for me to ride the bike.
The great part about these 450
races is that I have my own ex-
pectations, but there isn't
any pressure. It should be
fun." CN
