Futoshi Watanabe and Takao Fukuda, of the Keno Bike Japanese national endurance team, will race a Vesrah Suzuki GSX-R1000 in the WERA National Endurance Series event Friday at Road Atlanta.

The ride was set up by Vesrah President Mr. Aki Tamura, who sponsors both Keno Bike and Vesrah Suzuki, the three-time WERA National Endurance Champions.

Watanabe and Fukuda, who finished second in a six-hour race at Sugo this season, will ride as Vesrah Suzuki II in the Heavyweight Superstock class. They will ride the GSX-R1000 Vesrah Suzuki used to win the 2002 Championship.

According to Tamura, who is attending the races at Road Atlanta, Watanabe and Fukuda are considering racing in the 2004 WERA National Endurance series full-time.
