This just in--it appears as if Rob and Kenny are more than fishing buddies now.

The release from Team Roberts reads:

Banbury, England - September 2, 2002: Proton Team KR is pleased to announced that legendary US racing tuner and entrant Rob Muzzy has signed up with the team's research and development group.

Muzzy will act as a consultant in the development programme of the all-new V5 engine for the Proton four-stroke GP racer.

Muzzy is a legend in US racing circles, as a larger-than-life character who achieved excellent results applying his engine development skills to Kawasaki and Honda racing motorcycles. He made his name working with such riders as Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey, Scott Russell and Doug Chandler. As a team manager he has steered his teams to US and World Superbike titles.

His involvement with Proton Team KR will be with the team's in-house design staff on the new motor, which is already at an advanced stage of early development, and is scheduled to make its racing debut in the 2003 MGP World Championship series.

Muzzy's involvement with Proton Team KR will not affect his current performance parts business, or his running of the factory Kawasaki AMA drag racing program.
