WERA NATIONAL SERIES ON THE WAY TO SUMMIT POINT

SUMMIT POINT, W. Va.- The WERA National Challenge Series and the Dunlop/WERA National Endurance Series will return to Summit Point Raceway for the seventh round of the season from August 1-3.

During the Dunlop National Endurance Series round at Summit Point in 2002, Semoff Brothers Racing became the only team to beat Vesrah Suzuki during the entire season. The team of Mark Junge, Tray Batey and John Jacobi is undefeated on the Vesrah Suzuki GSX-R1000 this year, and they are hoping for another victory during the six-hour race at Summit Point.

Army of Darkness will be racing for their seventh consecutive Mediumweight Superbike victory on a Suzuki GSX-R600. The Washington, D.C.-based team also hopes to be on the overall podium at their home track.

The endurance race will get underway at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 2. Many local racers will participate in the event, and the large starting grid will provide plenty of excitement.

The National Challenge Series sprint races will be held on Sunday, August 3, starting at 12:30 p.m.. The 12 races will consist of ten laps each. Expert-only classes include Open Superstock and Pirelli Formula One.

Classes for both Novices and Experts include 600 Superstock for Experts and the STAR School 600 Superstock race for Novices, 750 Superstock, 600 Superbike, 750 Superbike, Lightweight Twins, Heavyweight Twins and Formula 2.

Summit Point Raceway is a 10-turn, two-mile road course located in Summit Point, W. Va., about one hour from Washington, D.C. The location, exciting layout and excellent viewing areas make Summit Point a popular track with fans.
