WERA National Series Brings Motorcycle Road Racing to Texas World Speedway

COLLEGE STATION, Tx.- WERA Motorcycle Roadracing will bring its signature excitement and competition to Texas when the WERA National Challenge Series and the WERA/GMD Computrack National Endurance Series visit Texas World Speedway, September 14-15.

The WERA National Series features the top amateur motorcycle road racers and some of the most thrilling racing in the United States.

On Saturday, September 14, the penultimate round of the WERA/GMD Computrack National Endurance Series will get underway at 11:30 a.m. The six-hour race features five classes of motorcycles, including Lightweight Superbike, Mediumweight Superstock and Superbike, and Heavyweight Superstock and Superbike.

Vesrah Suzuki won every round of the season on their Suzuki GSX-R1000 until the most recent race, when Semoff Brothers Racing (SBR) came and took the victory. SBR will compete at Texas World Speedway, as well, and both teams will be fighting to keep their bikes out front.

On Sunday, September 15, the WERA National Challenge Series will feature ten sprint races, each consisting of ten laps around the 2.9-mile road course at Texas World Speedway. The WERA Sportsman Series, featuring local riders, will also be run. Their eight races will be eight laps each.

The National Challenge and Sportsman Series races are divided according to the engine size of the motorcycles, as well as the amount of modifications made to them. Superbike races are for the bikes that have been the most modified, while Superstock classes are nearly identical to stock motorcycles.

Among the popular National Challenge Series races are Open Superstock, which features stock motorcycles of unlimited engine size. The 600 Superstock and 750 Superstock classes have large grids and intense battles for the lead, and are also fan favorites.

Tickets for the WERA National Series at Texas World Speedway are available for $20 for the weekend and $15 for Sunday only. Camping is also available for fans.
