From a press release issued by WERA:

WERA NATIONAL SERIES HEADS TO JENNINGS GP FOR SEASON OPENER

JENNINGS, Fla.- The WERA National Challenge Series and the National Endurance Series head to Jennings GP this weekend for the opening round of the 2003 season.

The Dunlop/WERA National Endurance Series will get underway at 11:00 am on Saturday, March 29. The 6-hour event will feature five classes of bikes and a field of about 40 teams.

Vesrah Suzuki returns to the Endurance Series this year to defend their championship title against Army of Darkness. The Vesrah Suzuki GSX-R1000 won eight of nine rounds in 2002, and the team hopes to repeat their successful run again this year.

Army of Darkness won the 2002 Mediumweight Superbike title on their Suzuki GSX-R600, but fell short of the overall championship. The hunt for the endurance championship will continue this season in one of the most exciting motorcycle road racing series in the United States.

The WERA National Challenge Series will have 12 races on Sunday, March 30, beginning at 12:30 pm. Each race will consist of ten laps around the
2-mile, 14-turn Jennings GP course.

The National Challenge Series races include both novice and expert divisions and a variety of classes, including the popular 125 GP, 600 Superstock and Superbike, 750 Superstock and Superbike, Formula 1, and Lightweight Twins classes.

The STAR School 600 Superstock novice class is where many of the current top experts honed their skills. Greg Moore won the 600 Superstock race at Jennings GP last year, and this year he is competing in both the WERA expert classes and AMA Pro Racing.

The Pirelli Formula 1 class includes machines of up to 1000cc and will feature some of the fastest bikes of the event. This year, the entrants in Formula 1 will be competing for a purse, giving riders even more incentive to be at the front of the field.

Tickets are available at the front gate of Jennings GP. Practice begins on Friday, and a three-day ticket is $30. A Saturday/Sunday ticket is $20, and fans that come after 10:00 am on Sunday pay only $15.
