tai chi is too difficult to translate

i just use yin and yang to take the place of tai chi.

most people will understand yin and yang right away, sun and moon, men and women, water and fire----

dichotomy, balance and interaction of 2 polarities

so yin yang car or yin yang auto.

I don't follow racing so this means little to me.

DANNY ESLICK WILL WEAR RS TAICHI RACING APPAREL IN 2011

DALLAS, Texas (February 24, 2011) – Moto Liberty is proud to announce that two-time AMA Pro Road Racing champion Danny Eslick will wear RS Taichi racing apparel in his quest for the 2011 AMA Pro Daytona SportBike championship and while defending his AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 title.

“I’m pumped to be wearing RS Taichi,” said the 24-year-old Oklahoman, who is as notable for his hard-charging ways on the track as he is for his easy smile and casual demeanor in the pits. He has known Moto Liberty owner and long-time road racing supporter Audrey Menarik since he hit the asphalt, “Audrey was helpful in getting me set up in the right gear when I was making the transition from dirt track to road racing. It’s nice to give back to her because she gives so much to the sport,” said Eslick.

After winning the 2009 AMA Pro Daytona SportBike championship on a Buell, Eslick cemented his reputation as one of the sport’s brightest stars with a runner-up showing on a GEICO Powersports RMR Suzuki and in scoring the XR1200 title last season. For 2011, the 12-time AMA Pro Racing winner will be with the same championship winning team and outfitted in a full complement of RS Taichi’s innovative, Japanese-designed racing apparel.

Eslick, who’s led 280 race laps in eight years of professional pavement pounding, said, “I’m looking forward to wearing the right stuff. Most people only think about protection--and I know RS Taichi has me covered with that--but on the track, fit and feel are so important. I won’t have to change my riding style to work with my new suits.”

RS Taichi’s Taka Niwa communicated the entire company’s excitement to work with one of America’s top roadracers, “RS Taichi has worked with professional riders for more than 30 years and we are very happy for this opportunity to support Danny with our riding gear. We know that to concentrate on riding, racers need to be protected with comfortable and protective gear. Of course, it has to be good looking too. We believe that RS Taichi is the brand that can provide the required gear for Danny at the highest level.”

Menarik is excited about this opportunity for Moto Liberty and RS Taichi stating, “I've been selling race suits for more than 20 years, but being in RS Taichi’s pit booth at the AMA Pro races last year reminded me that spectators really do care about which riders represent various brands. With that in mind, I’m thrilled Danny chose to work with us.”
