November 27, 2018, Grand Junction, Colorado — CB Motorsports will be opening its doors as a full service race team, starting in January of 2019.
After a busy 2018, CB Motorsports owner Christian Bird is looking to make 2019 an even bigger, and better year, with big plans for his racing team. “2019 is going to be something special,” says Bird, “2018 was a huge year of growth for me both professionally and personally, this passed year has taught me so much both on and off the track. I’m ready to do it right in 2019.” In a departure from the common approach to kart sales, CB Motorsports will offer 3 chassis manufactures, each specialized to the class the customer is racing. The teams line up will feature Energy for cadet categories, Fernando Alonso (FA) chassis by OTK for single speed categories, and CRG as Birds go-to for shifter kart applications. CB Motorsports is set to have a presence at events across the country, including a full-force effort at the 2019 Challenge of the Americas, the SKUSA Pro Tour, and The Colorado Karting Tour.
Bird elaborated on his approach to his renewed venture, stating: “My program is going to focus on each driver as an individual. I have put together a unique evaluation, that will break down what each driver needs, from equipment to driving techniques, and allow us to put each piece in place to help the driver reach their goals. It’s something that will help the new racer, or the guy shooting for the last few tenths,” explained Bird. While Christian has years of experience racing and spinning wrenches at North America’s biggest karting stages, his understanding and appreciation for local karting will soon shine through his team. “I plan to have a strong presence at the Colorado Karting Tour along with the national events on our calendar, I’m excited to get things rolling and shoot for championships in all classes we enter!”
CB motorsports will also be holding a variety of clinics in the near future, including chassis setups, data analysis, and more! Keep an eye out for more information on these clinics on the Colorado Karter.com in the near future!
