Wednesday, December 6 Safety Panel - The Safety Partnership - Engineering and Medicine Session Code: MSEC6 Room Hubbard Session Time: 8:00 a.m. Injuries in motor sport occur when a crashing vehicle exerts forces, accelerations, and displacements on the humans involved that exceed their injury tolerances. It is by understanding how the engineered structures of the vehicle and its surroundings generate those forces, accelerations, and displacements, how the human is subjected to them, and how the human body reacts as a consequence, that progress is made in reducing injuries. Motor sport provides a unique field for research into injury causation that will have benefits beyond the sport. Organizers - J. Kirk Russell; Peter G.

Wednesday, December 6 Extreme Motorsports: Motocross Engineering and Technology Session Code: MSEC29 Room Regency E-F Session Time: 10:30 a.m. The extreme sport of motocross racing offers motorcycle manufacturers, suppliers, aftermarket companies, engineers, racing organizations and corporate sponsors unique technical challenges and business opportunities to test their skills and increase their brand awareness. Over the past five years many of the engineering and technology achievements of today's leading four-stroke engines, suspensions and light weight material applications have borrowed heavily from their high-performance counterparts in the automotive racing and engine building communities - from F-1 to NASCAR.

Factory-backed OEMs, aftermarket suppliers and privateer teams compete professionally while supporting amateur racing programs and enthusiasts in over 3500 motocross races annually with purpose-built production vehicles, parts, and services and products that fuel an action sports lifestyle market for generation x and y racers, fans, engineers, sponsors, media, sanctioning organizations and entertainment companies in one of the fastest growing motorsports market segments. Motorcycle engineering and motocross technology plays an important role in Formula SAE and Mini Baja programs and provides an excellent training platform for young engineers focused on motorsports and high-performance engineering careers.

Motocross engineering, as well as rider performance is extreme. Today's four-stroke power plants and suspension dynamics are the public brand of high-performance engineering for the off-road motorcycle industry. The pace of technical change is rapid and the economic benefits of winning are immediate. In no other form of motorsport does "Win on Any Sunday. Sell on Monday." carry as much weight. Technology transfer from racing to production is critical for consumer success. New product innovation, accelerated development and performance authenticity are prerequisites for winning on the track and in the dealer showroom.

This session will focus on the motorsports engineering, technology and business achievements of motocross racing, including expert perspectives on both high-performance automotive and motorcycle four-stroke applications in engine technology, suspension dynamics, materials development and advanced engineering practices from leading companies, organizations and people driving the future of this rapidly evolving form of motor racing for today's youth markets.
