Bruce Transportation Group, a Honda support team that competed in the Supersport and Formula Xtreme class on the AMA Superbike Championship series, will not race in the 2004 AMA series and is closing its shop in Whittier, California.

“Bruce Lyskawa (team owner) has decided he’s not going to run next year,” said team manager Joey Osowski Thursday in a telephone interview with Roadracingworld.com. “He’s done the last four years totally out of his pocket, except for some support from Honda, but it takes a lot of dough to run a team.

“He thought about folding the team after the 2002 series, but he decided to gamble on 2003 to see if he could attract some outside-the-industry sponsorship as we went along, but it didn’t work out.”

According to Osowski, the team is selling off its motorcycles, shipping its shop equipment to Lyskawa’s race shop in New Hampshire and its three crew members are currently looking for other positions within the motorcycle racing industry.
