Greetings Mission Motors fans:
There has been some discussion on the Web recently about Mission Motor’s racing schedule in 2010 and we wanted to officially clarify our plans.
We were able accomplish two major milestones for our motorsports program in 2009: competing in the inaugural TTXGP, and shortly thereafter setting an AMA speed record at the annual BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials at the Bonneville Speedway.
Racing is the ultimate engineering crucible, and we used this experience to understand how our motorcycles perform at the limit.
Since then, our engineering team has been focused on meeting our production goals for the Mission One Premier Limited Edition, which we are planning to deliver to customers in mid-2011. It is an exciting and intensive process, and, as a result, we will not be racing at Infineon or TT Zero at the Isle of Man this June.
Azhar and his team have been greatly supportive of Mission Motors and electric motorcycle racing as an emerging sport over the last two years. We support them in their pioneering work to expand electric racing worldwide.
We commend Infineon Raceway for their work in putting on this event, and showing their support for electric racing, the future of motorsports.
We look forward to getting back to the track soon. It is our goal to unveil our second generation race bike late this season. In the meantime, we wish all the teams and series the very best of luck.

Always interested in how things are going–sounds good all around.
Glen says:
So do you have a racing schedule for 2010 & 2011 (prospective)?
Brad says:
I’m glad Mission Motors has plans to race still. I don’t think any one has to be told of the significance of the TTX GP format and how much it will advance electric motorcycles. Racing has always been a good proving ground for new technologies and design. I can’t wait to see the new race bike. Keep up the good work! Your engineer and design teams have done a brilliant job thus far. Cheers.
