ANAHEIM, Calif. -
Just when you thought things were crazy enough with the world's premier
mini bike race - the AMA/Maxxis MiniMotoSX held at Vegas' Orleans Arena
- the staff at Source Interlink Media, producers and promoters of MMSX,
are fixin' to shut the arena lights off and run a pro mini bike class
in the dark!

Much in the same manner that AMA EnduroCross events have thrilled
fans in the past by racing with the house lights turned off, AMA/Maxxis
MiniMotoSX sponsor Baja Designs has engineered a clever after market
front facia feature for mini bikes - dubbed the Diablo HID - that
smartly combines a headlight into the front number plate (see photo).
When approached by Baja Designs to incorporate this interesting feature
into the evening's race program, Source Interlink Media officials were
hesitant at first - then gave in to the idea.

"I don't know what we're thinking," chuckled Mike Karsting, VP of
Events for Source Interlink Media. "Eric (Peronnard, MMSX's founder)
seems to think it'll work. And all of us agree that we'll let the fans
decide."

Titled the "AMA/Maxxis MiniMotoSX Baja Designs Night Race,"
technicians from Baja Designs will Velcro-mount the Diablo HID to the
front forks of the top ten MM10A Stock/Mod finalists, along with a few
select race VIPs. Then all heck's going to break loose as pros - along
with some not-so-pros - take to the track in complete darkness, guided
solely through the minefield of jumps, whoops, berms and other
obstacles by their Baja Designs Diablo HID light - the winner receiving a $500 check from Baja Designs and they get to keep their Diablo HID!

"It's a perfect match. Baja Designs' lighting system with the
biggest little mini bike race on the planet," beamed Peronnard. "This
is going to be wild! And something for sure I think the fans will
really enjoy."

Makers of premier race lighting, off-road lighting and many other
bike and ATV-improving products, Baja Designs and its new Diablo HID
light for mini bikes is looking forward to this unique enhancement for
the May 1st evening race program at the Orleans Arena. "Baja Designs is
proud to be such big part of EnduroCross' exciting Night Race," said
Deanne Moore, President of Baja Designs. "So expanding our involvement
to the MiniMotoSX seemed like the perfect chance to showcase our new
Diablo HID light - in as demanding of a forum as we could imagine!"

Combining awesome performance with a light weight factory look, the Diablo HID
is designed specifically for aggressive nighttime trail riding
by combining amazing distance projection with wide peripheral spread
and a smooth light pattern. No glaring hot spots or dead spots.
Weighing in at a mere 2.5 pounds for electric-start bikes and 3.75
pounds for kick start bikes*, the Diablo HID is even lighter in weight
than many factory and most other aftermarket headlights. Almost all OEM
plastic colors - including black and white are available. *Diablo HIDs
for kick start bikes include a small NiCad battery and
rectifier/regulator pre-mounted and wired with the HID electronics
behind the headlight.

Baja Designs has been developing
high-end aftermarket lighting systems and other adventure products for
the off-road industry for 14 years. Still the leader in high-quality
off-road motorcycle lighting and Dual Sport Kits, the addition of the
Soltek LaPaz and Soltek Fuego lights has expanded Baja Designs'
expertise to the ATV, truck & buggy markets.
