From a press release issued by Larry Pegram’s publicist:

AMA Pro Racer, Larry Pegram made history on Sunday, September 26th. He is now the first rider to put an Aprilia in an AMA Flat Track final. Pegram who has been concentrating on AMA Superbike and Formula Xtreme this year on Yamahas, has made a few starts in the AMA Flat Track series and is also racing the entire AMA Supermoto schedule.

Larry took the David Lloyd Aprilia powered project bike to the finals after an exciting win in the last semi-final race. He had to fight it
out with Geo Roeder, JR Schnabel, and Bryan Bigelow most of the race and ultimately held off Roeder for the win.

“I wanted to secure the use of my race number, #72 for all events I race in. I have used 72 for years and now I have it for Supermoto and Flat
Track too.” (In Flat Track you must place in a National event to secure a pro number.) Said Pegram. Next for Pegram is the AMA Superbike and FX finals at VIR. Larry only needs a solid finish in FX to secure his 5th place in points. He is also hoping to finish in the top 10 in Superbike with the goal of a top 5 in both races. “That would be a great end to a season of challenge on our privately funded and quickly organized team.”
