HAS RACING SET TO MAKE ITS MARK IN AMA SUPERBIKE SERIES IN 2003

HAS Racing announced today that it will field a professional motorcycle road race team with riders John Haner and Heath Small in the 2003 AMA Chevy Trucks U.S. Superbike Championship Series.

Team owner Lance Small, along with Motion Cycle Sports in Dallas, Texas, will support the HAS Racing operation with motorcycles and race equipment. Steve Upchurch, James Compton and Billy Weiss will provide the chassis and engine prep along with technicians David Sanders and Richard Haner. Shogun Motorsports will supply the race transporter with custom awning and hospitality area, providing the facilities and image that will help the team be successful and make an impact in 2003.

John Haner, age 25, is arguably the fastest rider in the CMRA right now, having won many championships and setting many track records over the last three years. John has tasted success on the national level as well, winning the 2002 Suzuki Cup GSX-R1000 Final at Road Atlanta as well as three top-ten finishes, in only three appearances, in the highly competitive 2002 AMA Genuine Suzuki Accessories Superstock Series. For the 2003 season, John will concentrate his efforts on the AMA Superstock class on a Suzuki GSX-R750 while also competing in the AMA Superbike class on a Yamaha R1. John will run #44 in all AMA classes in 2003.

Heath, age 23, has road raced for only three years, yet has already established himself as a championship winner in CMRA, while also competing in the 2002 AMA Buell Pro Thunder Series, where he finished fifth overall. For 2003, Heath will focus his efforts in the AMA Supersport and Superstock classes on a Yamaha R6 while also competing in the AMA Superbike class on a Yamaha R1. Heath will run #278 in all AMA classes in 2003.

HAS Racing will also utilize events in the CMRA Championship Series for testing and track time, providing additional exposure for sponsorship partners throughout the 2003 race season.
