A decision on whether or not Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca will host a stand-alone round of the AMA Superbike series in the fall of 2005–in addition to the combined MotoGP/AMA race in July–could be made as early as next week.

That’s what raceway CEO/General Manager Gill Campbell told Roadracingworld.com in a phone interview this morning.

“Our September 9-11 date has become available because CHAMP car can’t make up their minds about what they’re doing,” said Campbell. “We’ve let them know we’re moving on. I have about three options on the table for consideration and an AMA stand-alone event is certainly one of them. It comes down to how the numbers crunch out and what we feel is the absolute best event for this Racetrack in September.

“I have to put budgets and proposals together for my executive committee,” continued Campbell. “They meet next week. I don’t know whether I’ll have a decision then or not. I have a lot of homework to do.”

Asked if she would characterize the percentage chances of a stand-alone AMA National being held on the date at the Monterey, California racetrack, Campbell said “Not at this point. It’s real, real early stages.”

Asked what other events are in competition with the AMA Series for the date, Campbell said “I’m not at liberty to say right now.”
