FANS INVITED TO WALK AROUND BARBER WITH STARS OF AMA PRO ROAD RACING SERIES Birmingham, Ala. (May 16) Fans attending the opening day of the Triumph Superbike Classic at Barber Motorsports Park will be allowed to walk the picturesque track with the stars of the AMA Pro Road Racing Series. The track walk will be free to all ticket holders on Friday, June 22nd and ZOOM Motorsports, the exclusive event promoter at the Barber Motorsports Park, will donate a portion of the day’s ticket sales to the Roadracing World Action Fund. Some of the riders expected to participate in the track walk are Triumph riders Jason DiSalvo and Dustin Dominguez, as well as National Guard SuperBike rider Roger Hayden. The Riders Discount Vesrah Suzuki riders Jake Lewis and Cory West also have committed to the track walk. More than a dozen riders participated in last year’s walk at Barber, including two-time Superbike champion Josh Hayes. “This is such a great opportunity for the fans,” said Rick Humphrey, Vice President of ZOOM Motorsports. “There are not many sports where fans get to walk the actual field of competition with the competitors. After last year’s track walk, the response from the fans and riders was incredible. We have every reason to believe this year’s track walk will be even bigger.” The Roadracing World Action Fund’s mission is to help prevent racetrack injuries.
