Ken Roczen, Aaron Plessinger, Justin Barcia and Ronnie Mac Among Those Confirmed to Race as the Event Comes to Huntington Beach
Everybody loves a day at the beach. The sun, the surf……the two stroke motorcycles racing down the beach in a straight line.
The stage is set for the 2022 Red Bull Straight Rhythm and it is even better than before.
On October 15 imagine being on the sand of the Huntington Beach State Park catching some sun as 32 of your favorite riders swap their swimsuits for race gear.
Is there a better combination than the beach breeze is flowing through your hair, the sand is between your toes and the sweet smell of salty air and pre-mix gas?
All of this is happening and the first wave of 2022 competing riders for Red Bull Straight Rhythm have been confirmed. They include:
250cc Class
Ken Roczen, Aaron Plessinger, Justin Barcia, Marvin Musquin, Cooper Webb, Gared Steinke, Tyler Bowers, Ronnie Mac, Josh Hansen, Robbie Wageman, Ivan Ramirez and more.
125cc/150cc
Carson Brown, Ryan Morais, Casey Cochran, AJ Catanzaro, Josh Varize, Derek Kelley, Dylan Woodcock, Josh Thomas, Andy DiBrino and more.
Most of these faces you know and love and are returning to the track for their quest for the crown while others such as Roczen (2019), Steinke (2017) and Musquin (2016) are seeking another chance to stand atop the podium in victory. Who will write their name in the sand and who will write their name in the stars? It’s anyone’s game so leave it to the racing to do the talking. No lifeguards on deck, no points at stake, no turns, and no funny business (looking at you, Barcia), just fun business on a half-mile track. The only thing on the line are egos. And perhaps the best matchup of all will be Jason Weigandt and Daniel Blair on the race call. Perhaps.Adjacent to the Red Bull Straight Rhythm start is the Super Hooligan track at Moto Beach Classic. This racer lineup will feature pros, Joe’s and the fastest hooligan racers in the country, as well as choppers, electric bikes, two strokes and knobby motocross bikes, racing side by side in the ultimate battle of the slide on the beach. Moto vendors, art, custom motorcycles and dirt track racing will create a family friendly day to remember.Tickets are still on sale now and can be purchased at: https://red-bull-straight–rhythm-tickets.
