    WA Local Ben Henry launches Cube Racing ASBK Team

    Huge congratulation to Ben Henry (2010 WA Suberbike Champion) for the new sponsorship deal, and starting his own Superbike team
    The Belray 6 Hour Endurance race saw him compete in the Superpole shoot-out on a Superstock 1000, and qualified in 6th behind factory superbike teams, so he's really showing the goods....

    www.motoonline.com.au

    Western Australian Ben Henry is taking his Superbike career up a gear after striking a major sponsorship deal with national outdoor home improvement specialist Australian Outdoor Living (AOL).

    AOL has provided Henry with a $55,000 sponsorship deal that will see his career receive a massive boost for 2011.

    Henry, 29, said the sponsorship had helped him to establish his own team Cube Racing, invest in a new truck and give him the resources to approach other riders about racing under his team banner.

    “Establishing Cube Racing is something I had been hoping to do for a long time and AOL’s sponsorship means I can make the dream a reality,” he said.

    Before he even started racing at 23, Henry had always hoped to start his own Australian Superbike Championship team.

    He said that realising sponsorship opportunities helped Superbike as a sport grow and gain recognition among the wider community.

    “Superbike is a great sport with so much potential, and it is great companies like AOL who see this,” he said.

    AOL managing director Colin Kuchel said he was instantly impressed with Mr Henry’s drive and passion for the sport.

    “Ben’s profile is building and we wanted to be a part of his career and Cube Racing,” Mr Kuchel said. “We see Superbike as growing in popularity and a platform from which we can continue to build our national brand.

    “Of course the team at AOL are big fans of Superbikes as well.”

    Established in 2005 Australian Outdoor Living is a market leader in outdoor lifestyle home improvements, encompassing outdoor blinds, artificial lawn, roller shutters, verandas and pergolas, timber decking and swimming pools

    Great news,
    It's really good to see some backing for Ben, racing superbikes is not cheap.
    Drive and ambition are 2 things he does not lack

    It's better to be thought stupid than open your mouth and remove all doubt

    Pure speed in sixth gear on a 5,000 foot straightaway is one thing, but pure speed in third gear on a gravel-strewn, downhill, ess turn is quite another.

    Well done Ben!!!

    When reading that I had to a double take at AOL, and also at Cube racing... For some unknown reason I was expecting to see him racing these;



    covered in these;

    The universe likes speed. Don't delay. Don't second guess. Don't doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, act.

    Well done "Mr Henry" glad to have flagged for you both here and at Phillip Island.

    So does this mean he will be moving east like the other Ben?
    Will the team be made up of WA riders (I can see a few of the MCRC riders putting up their hands) - or will they be from interstate, or a bit of both
    I cant wait to see what happens with this next year
    CONGRATULATIONS BEN Look forward to seeing you and your team, in the media and trackside :-)
