WERA GEARING UP FOR CYCLE JAM AT VIRGINIA INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY

ALTON, Va.- Virginia International Raceway will be home to one of the biggest motorcycle roadracing events of the season May 23-25, when WERA brings Cycle Jam to the raceway’s 2.26-mile North Course.

The third annual Cycle Jam will bring together the WERA National Challenge Series, the Dunlop/WERA National Endurance Series and all five regions in the Sportsman Series. Last year’s Cycle Jam had a total of 1283 race entries during the three days, and this year’s event is expected to be just as big.

Friday, May 23 will feature the Dunlop/WERA National Endurance Series four-hour race. The green flag will fly at 12:30 pm as nearly fifty teams comprising five different classes will compete for overall and class wins.

The 16 WERA Sportsman Series races will be held on Saturday. The 6-lap sprint races will get started at noon following morning practice sessions. With double points available for all five regions, the top riders in each region will be competing fiercely against each other.

Sunday’s National Challenge Series races will feature 12 classes in 8-lap sprints, beginning at noon. Vesrah Suzuki’s Tray Batey has been the top
rider in the past three rounds, and first-year experts such as Greg Moore and XT Racing’s David Weber will be trying to beat his pace and take the checkered flag first.

In the 125 GP and Formula 2 classes, Brian Kcraget will have the home-track advantage. The defending 125 GP champion lives in Danville, Va., and has hours of experience on Virginia International Raceway’s challenging North Course, both as a racer and as a racing school instructor.

Tickets for Cycle Jam at Virginia International Raceway are $30 for three days, $20 for two days or $15 for Sunday only. Camping is permitted, also, and costs only $25 for the weekend.
