I only really saw this now... It's obviously way too late yeah? But seriously. If Orange need a representative over West Coast and didn't get much response over here (i don't see THAT many W.A. Boys on this site) I'm a 16 yr/old soon to be racer (all season :) ) So if they do need a rep over here. I'd be 110% more than happy to make the specific information...

Just a thought :eek: :)

To all those lazy sods who don't know how to think outside the square, be productive and pick up the phone or shoot an email to citrusspeedimports@bigpond.com instead of crying on an internet forum.

Mind you this is a good way of picking out who are the lazy riders ...

Squidley is correct, if you cant wait for the answer to come through in all due time, be proactive and show Citrus you are keen. Understand that even though they are swamped, it is an important decision for them to make, they are responsible to their suppliers and sponsors to ensure thre right people are chosen to represent their brands.

The News Is Almost In

Firstly its great to get such an awesome response to this program, thanks to everyone out there who has sent in their application, and there has been HUNDREDS!
So thanks again, we are finally sorting through the last couple of dozen of resumes and well be in touch again real soon.
Apologies for the slow turnaround but the inundation of resumes has slowed us a lot, keep your ears posted in the next week or two.
Accepted riders will vary on different levels of talent ability and location so youre all in with a chance.

Grass Roots Team Announcements

Here it is Ladies and Gentlemen,
keep an eye out on your inbox or mailbox.

Citrus Speed Imports is proud to announce that selection for the Grass Roots teams has now been finalised. For those of you who have been successful in your application, congratulations. For those who have missed out we apologise that we are limited in the number of applicants we can take on and look forward to hearing from you in the future.

We were literally inundated with hundreds of resumes, ranging from hand written notes on the back of envelopes, right through to full-on power point DVD presentations and as a result it took us much longer to process all the applications fairly. Thanks for your patience and applications. We are looking at continuing a fine tradition of support that we have developed here over the years with Orange and Citrus Speed Imports. Some of the riders we’ve helped out over the past have been riders like Bryn Atkinson, Dave McLaughlin, Luke Strom, Ben Cory, Tai Lee Muxlow, Jarl Jensen, Justin Havukainen and Rick Boyer. Hopefully you could be one of the next line up of stars too.

Keep an ear out for a response from the Citrus Speed Imports team by the end of March. We will notify you personally if you have been accepted and are prepared to join the Orange grass Roots Program. For those of you that haven’t been successful this time around, hopefully other distributors out there will take note of the overwhelming response we’ve had to this program and launch a rider support team themselves.

Thankyou once again for your time and effort.
The Team
Citrus Speed Imports.

i know it's ended and all, but is this going to be a one off thing, or is there going to be an intake every 12 months or something, to replace riders that have left or anything?
or are we all too far gone...

With any luck we will be trying very hard to do this every year. We are always taking sponsorship proposals.... before the any upcoming race season is always best.
