January 14, 2008 - On Saturday in Phoenix in front of 46,121 fans Torco Race Fuels/Honda rider Kevin Windham got third in the Supercross class using Merge Racing's Adjustable Leak Jet (ALJ). The ALJ provides these race teams with the performance that they need to stay ahead of the curve. The Merge Racing ALJ is taking the race scene by storm with its ease of adjustability, taking away that four stroke bog and giving riders like KW improved throttle response.

As well over the weekend, Babbitts Kawasaki's Kelly Smith took his ALJ equipped 250F to a main event win in the Toyota Arenacross series. Remember when in doubt, Merge it up!

November 1, 2007 - TUF Racing has made the decision to race with the Merge ALJ on their Hondas for the 2007-’08 Toyota AMA Arenacross Series.

“Merge is definitely making our life easier,” states Chris Hunter, Team Manager of THOR Honda Tuf Racing. “Saturday we had a 35 degree change in temperature. It was so easy to dial in the bikes using the Merge ALJ.”

“We are looking forward to start racing with Danny Smith and Chad Johnson and everyone at TUF Racing this weekend,” states Jim Lewis. “It is very special to be able to work with the defending AMA Arenacross Champion and the previous season’s AMA Arenacross Champion.”

November 1, 2007 - Merge Racing Technologies is pleased to announce that Team Babbitt’s Monster Energy/Kawasaki will be racing with the Merge ALJ for the 2007-’08 Toyota AMA Arenacross Series.

“On tight Arenacross tracks immediate throttle response is critical,” states Denny Bartz, Team Manager. “We are happy with our testing of the Merge’s Adjustable Leak Jet and look forward to racing with the Merge ALJ for the ’07-’08 season.”

“We are pleased to get an opportunity to work with Brock Sellards again. Brock has a great feel for the bike and is excellent at testing as well as racing.” said Jim Lewis of Merge Racing. “We are new to working with Kelly Smith but know from racing him in the past that he is hard charger. It will also be interesting to see how Patrick Boyle progresses following his good start last season.”

January 9, 2008 - Round one of the Monster Energy Supercross series got off with a bang in the home of Supercross, Anaheim California. Merge Racing Technologies came out swinging with a podium in the first race with MDK/KTM rider Justin Brayton securing third. It was also Justin's first podium in his supercross career. Torco Race Fuels/Factory Connection's Kevin Windham finished fifth and Brayton's teammate Nick Wey got ninth in the premier Supercross class.

All of these riders were using the Adjustable Leak Jet (ALJ) from Merge Racing and no doubt benifited from the improved throttle response, easy adjustability and overall power gains seen from using the ALJ.

Team Hart and Huntington 's Troy Adams easily qualified for the Supercross main event and finished nineteeth. H&H racing is using Merge Racing for their motor and suspension modifications as well as the complete line-up of Merge products.

Red Bull KTM's Engine Development head Leighton Rice stated, "Like all top teams, we fine tune our bikes to each rider's needs and atmospheric conditions so we are pleased to continue working with Merge at the Motocross of Nations.

We were very happy with how easy it is to make adjustments to get the best performance possible from the carb. We made the decision to run the ALJ on Mike’s bike at Thunder Valley. The team was thrilled with the performance and has made the decision to run Merge ALJ kit’s on all of the team motorcycles starting this weekend in Washougal.”

“We are very happy that Red Bull KTM tested the Merge ALJ under the toughest conditions possible at altitude in Colorado,” states Jim Lewis. “As you can guess, being on the podium the first time the Merge ALJ has been raced in a Motocross National is very satisfying to us.
