A twisted up piston, Instagram, and overnight shipping

Surfing through posts on Instagram one day, I come across this piston that looks like it is from a Edvard Munch painting (that's the Scream Painting for you less artsy folks) and it grabs me.  I have seen busted, melted, pulverized, pistons before but the way the connecting rod twisted and pulled this piston at the wrist pin fascinated me.  After reading the caption of this carnage I realized what this situation really was.  JDS Racing, a family run race team with riders in the Midwest and Florida, was stuck in a pretty good stand still right before a pretty huge shoot out race.  There was an opportunity there.  An opportunity that was set up on the plate for Wiseco, but I was going to get in that door first.  I commented that Big Kid Powersports has a Wiseco 250r Raptor piston and could have it to Florida the next day so the Raptor could be assembled and back at the track for the weekend.  We had about 4 days to get this piston to these guys so they could assemble a motor overnight and be at one of the largest MX4 races in the south.  They crushed it at the race that weekend and mangled up the 250 pretty good again.  No worries, Big Kid's have it covered.  Overnighting more parts to get them into the final race night so they could end the season 2nd in points.

Our relationship with JDS Racing has grown and they are now our sponsored riders. Travis, Jason, and Marissa are great riders and have an awesome following on Social.  We are stoked to have them carry the Big Kid name and we can't wait to see where they go in the future.
