Congratulations to Hunter Budd for winning Cobra’s first-ever national 65cc AMA AX title!

Budd pilots the American-made CX65 to victory at Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium – on the Monster/AMA SX track – during the AMA National Arenacross finals

Hunter Budd_AXFinal2011_1 HILLSDALE, Mich., (May 11, 2011) – Cobra’s CX65 reached another amazing milestone in the American-made bike’s third year of competition when this past weekend it was raced to a first-ever AMA National Arenacross Championship title by #399 Hunter Budd out of Keller, Texas.

The ten-year-old fifth grader, in his seventh year of racing, powered past another rider coming out of the over/under obstacle on the floor of Las Vegas’ Sam Boyd Stadium – the same track Ryan Villopoto would win the SX title on later that day – and onto victory, solidifying Cobra CX65’s inaugural national 65cc class Arenacross title.

“We couldn’t be more pleased for Hunter and his family – making history on the Cobra CX65 this past weekend in Las Vegas,” said Sean Hilbert, President of Cobra Motorcycles. “Hunter’s had a stellar amateur motocross career on Cobras and to deliver our first-ever national AMA Arenacross title is just super. We wish Hunter the best of luck as he moves up to the 85 class full time now.”

Next up for the Cobra Nation is the Ponca City (Okla.) Grand Nationals, July 24-30.
