News from Rob Muzzy Racing
Courtesy of Doug Meyer
Rob Muzzy Racing is pleased to announce the re-signing of Ryan Schnitz for the 2005 racing season. Ryan has ridden for RMR since 2002 and in that time has won three AMA Prostar Drag Racing Championships, two in 600 Supersport and one this year in the new 1000 Supersport class. Ryan has also been an invaluable asset in the development of the Kawasaki ZX-12R NHRA Prostock motorcycle. Unfortunately, Kawasaki Motors Corp. has not chosen to continue their support of the ZX-12R Prostock Drag Racing program and therefore a further change is in order.
Rob Muzzy Racing is also excited to be able to announce that, starting in 2005 Team Muzzy with Ryan Schnitz will run the full NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle series with an S&S V-twin powered Buell Pro Stock Motorcycle. Rob Muzzy is no stranger to V-Twins, having been instrumental in the development of the Honda 750 Dirt Track Twin that won three Grand National Championships for Honda with Rickey Graham and Bubba Shobert aboard in the 1980\'s.
Testing for the new Pro Stock team will commence in January and the first race for the team will be at the Mac Tools NHRA Gatornationals, in Gainesville Florida, March 20, 2005.
Muzzys Performance Products will of course continue their thriving performance products business with continuing emphasis on components for Kawasaki, Honda Suzuki, and Yamaha sport and cruiser motorcycles. Also, Team Muzzy will continue to participate in selected drag racing events in 2005 with Ryan Schnitz aboard a Muzzy built turbocharged street bike.
Rob Muzzy and Team Muzzy would like to sincerely thank Kawasaki Motors Corp. in addition to all their current and past sponsors for their loyalty and support over the past 16 years, hundreds of races, and multiple championships. Racing is a sport of constant change and evolution and this move is significant in that process. Team Muzzy is actively seeking marketing partners to share this exciting new chapter in the Rob Muzzy Racing story.

Never doubted that for a second Doug. But it's still nice to hear you say it.

So Doug is the ZX12 ProStock bike For Sale???
Or are you going to keep it hoping that the NHRA will wake up and smell the burnt 90w oil on the track and give all the bikes FI or more CC, ect; to make the playing feild more fair for every one???
I know it's all about the "money" thing, You look at anything that has a big sponsor attached to it and they will rewrite or make a new class for that Sponsor. NHRA, ProStar, WRRA, SCCA, NASCAR, There all the same.. Money Talks....
Rob or Doug question; Did Kawasaki give you any reason why there not going to pursue Dragracing anymore??
Reading the NHRA rule book can a person put a S&S V-Twin in a ZX12 body?? The one thing that I have found out with the NHRA is, if it's not in the rule book it's legal??? So could a person do this??
