AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Everett Brashear passes

Flat-track racer won 15 nationals

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — Everett Brashear, one of the top AMA flat-track racers in the 1950s, died Oct. 29 in Los Angeles, Calif. He was 93.

Between 1952 and 1960, Mr. Brashear won 15 AMA flat-track nationals and dozens of regional races. He was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1998.

Born in Beaumont, Texas, on Jan. 17, 1927, Mr. Brashear grew up with little interest in motorcycling. He first took up riding after he left the military in 1946, when he bought an Indian Scout and started racing on the street with his friends.

In 1949, Mr. Brashear was high-point rider in the novice ranks, a feat he repeated the next year as an amateur. He didn’t make much of an impression in 1951, his first expert season. The following year, 1952, was a different story, though. Mr. Brashear broke through with his first national win at the half-mile track in Sturgis, S.D. That win was the first for Mr. Brashear and the first win for Harley-Davidson’s new KR model race bike.

In 1953, Mr. Brashear won three nationals, two half-miles and a mile.

Despite a serious racing injury in 1954, Mr. Brashear returned to competition and delivered strong performances throughout the remainder of the decade on Harley-Davidsons and BSAs.

He retired from racing in 1960 and took a job for Triumph distributor Johnson Motors in California. His retirement was short-lived, however. He came back and won his final AMA national, the Sacramento (Calif.) Mile on July 17, 1960.

Another bad crash in a county-fair race at the end of the year convinced Mr. Brashear to give up racing again. He came back a second time and raced select events for the next four years (actually earning his top finish in the Daytona 200, sixth, in 1964 on a Matchless), but had already moved on to life outside of racing.

For a short time, Mr. Brashear ran a Harley-Davidson dealership. Then he was a district manager for Triumph, an insurance agent, eastern sales manager for Yamaha, national sales manager for Kawasaki, head of Husqvarna distribution and, finally, a representative for aftermarket manufacturers. He retired to San Diego.

In all, Mr. Brashear spent 47 years of his life in the motorcycle industry in one form or another. Read his complete biography at motorcyclemuseum.org/halloffame/detail.aspx?RacerID=17.

Pro 6 Cycle Hosting New Regional Racing Series In Canada

Pro 6 Cycle Announce Regional Motorcycle Road Race Series for Calabogie in 2021

Toronto, ON – Pro 6 Cycle will host the first-ever Regional motorcycle road racing series at the famed Calabogie Motorsports Park venue southwest of Ottawa, ON, in 2021. The four round Championship will feature classes for both Amateur and Professional level two-wheeled competitors and be co-sanctioned by the Canadian Superbike Championship (CSBK), organizers of the National road racing Championship tour.

2021 Pro 6 GP Calabogie Event Schedule

May 22-23: Pro 6 TRAC School

June 5: Regional Round One – National Warm-Up

July 10-11: CSBK National Round Two and Regional Round Two

July 24: Regional Round Three

Sept 18: Regional Round Four

In all cases, a selection of Pro 6 organized Track Day activity will be offered on the days surrounding race day, with details soon available on the Pro 6 web site.

Pro 6 provide a performance shop located in downtown western Toronto, as well as hosting Track Days and Schools at a variety of locations, principally Calabogie Motorsports Park. The official spec tire of the CSBK National tour is Dunlop, and distribution and support for the popular Dunlop brand is exclusively provided by Pro 6 at each round. Dunlop competition tires are manufactured just across the border in Buffalo, New York.

Pro 6 first offered Track Day activity at the recently completed Calabogie venue in 2007, and since then has built a solid following at one of motorcycling’s favorite circuits.

Pro 6’s principals are all former Pro racers: shop founder Sandy Noce, his wife and event coordinator Sheena and Toronto Shop boss and business partner Joe Temperato. All three are familiar faces at races, track days and on-track across Canada.

Calabogie Motorsports Park provides a unique challenge, with 20 turns during each undulating 5.05-kilometer-long lap. The paddock facilities are also top notch, making the venue a key destination for competitors across North American.

The new Series will be named Pro 6 GP and offer Canadian competitors their first-ever summer-long chance to compete at Calabogie. Up until now, only the Vintage Road Racing Association (VRRA) offered a yearly event for motorcycles, although the CSBK National tour has competed at Calabogie multiple times, starting in May 2008.

In 2020, after several delays due to the COVID19 pandemic, the CSBK tour opened at Calabogie last July. The successful event was made possible by the willingness of Pro 6 to share their planned track time and work with the National Championship organizers to stage an abbreviated National program. A similar, multi-day event took place a month later at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park near Bowmanville, ON, again hosted by Pro 6.

“We have been considering something like this for some time,” confirms Pro 6 founder and former AMA Pro 250cc Grand Prix competitor Noce of the new racing initiative. “We think the time is right to offer this series to our customers, and we are looking forward to growing our sport with the help of the Calabogie and CSBK staff, taking full advantage of the beautiful Calabogie circuit and facilities.

“Pro 6 GP have a strong staff lined up to stage these races, and some great ideas for running a Championship series that should be well received by Canadian competitors. We’re really looking forward to getting started on the first-ever season of Regional competition at Calabogie in 2021.”

Further details will be announced in the coming weeks, and 2021 on-line registration details will soon be available at Pro 6 Cycle’s web site – pro6cycle.com.

California Superbike School Ends 40-Year Run At Laguna Seca

California Superbike School Ends 40-Year Run At Laguna Seca

By Michael Gougis

The iconic California Superbike School has canceled its final event at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and says it will not book new events at the track, citing difficulties with the circuit’s new management and a deteriorating track surface.

“I feel terrible,” said Keith Code, former racer and founder of the school, which ran its first event at the track in 1980 and has operated there every year since. “I went to the first race there as a spectator, that was really fantastic. My first Superbike race was there, and I got second place – it was my first podium. I was such a proud kid!

“It breaks my heart. We have a lot of history, we have a lot of emotional ties. The situation (with current management) did not improve. It makes us feel like intruders. We are treated like second-class citizens. It’s stressful for us to be there, and I do not need the stress. We love Laguna Seca, and our classes are always full, but we do not need to be treated like this.”

“We had not been notified that they did not intend to come back, and we did not know until we looked at their 2021 schedule,” Brandy Falconer, Manager, Communications, Laguna Seca, says. “We have a long history, and they are a valued renter.”

Various issues over the years had cropped up as points of contention between the school, which has held more than 300 events at the track in the four decades since it started. The Superbike School is the oldest vendor at the track, Code said track officials told him.

According to the Superbike School, the track – in reaction to a fatal accident involving a cornerworker at a car event – required the Superbike School to hire additional cornerworkers for every event. The circuit then began requiring the school to hire an event manager from the circuit, to pay for the sound monitoring, and there were a number of instances when the school was forced to move its equipment around during the day, seemingly at the whim of track officials.

But this season, school officials and the track clashed over new issues. The track instituted a $5,000 priority day fee, charged to any organization that wanted a particular date on the calendar, the school said. And the calendar was wiped clean, meaning that the school could no longer count on the traditional dates it had operated on for years past. This was critical for logistics for the school, which tries to coordinate its own schedule to minimize travel for its staff members.

School officials were not happy when, they said, the circuit manager ejected a customer who refused to wear a face mask in the pits in compliance with Monterey County’s requirement that masks be worn on public property. (The circuit is situated on county-owned land and is part of a larger recreational facility.) School officials felt they should have been notified and given the chance to resolve the situation before the customer was removed.

And a new regulation requiring the school to vacate the premises by 6:00 p.m. – even though on-track activities were permitted until 5:00 p.m. – or face a $1,000 fine also upset school officials.

All of this was against the backdrop of the delayed resurfacing of the track itself. Due to the global pandemic, the project had been pushed back to allow track officials to rearrange the schedule for organizations that wanted to use the facility. But the surface has deteriorated over the years, becoming low-grip during the best of circumstances, and that led to a greater number of falls during Superbike School events.

The school recently released its 2021 schedule with events scheduled at 11 other circuits across the United States, but not at Laguna Seca.

MotoGP: Lecuona Will Miss Valencia #1 Due To Quarantine

Lecuona will not be able to take part in European GP

Although Red Bull KTM Tech3 rider Iker Lecuona was tested negative on Tuesday, a positive PCR test of his brother and assistant prevents him from travelling to Valencia this week.

The Spaniard, who lives together with his brother in Andorra, needs to undergo another PCR test today in order to confirm his negative result. Yet, due to the Andorran legislation Lecuona is forced to quarantine himself for 10 days and will not be allowed to start the Gran Premio de Europa this weekend.

Hervé Poncharal

Team Manager

“We are very sad to announce that Iker Lecuona won’t be participating in the Gran Premio de Europa this weekend. So far, he’s been tested negative, but his brother, who is also his assistant is positive and therefore the Andorran authorities have called him ‘contact case’. He will have another test today, but even if it’s negative again, he’s got to stay in quarantine without moving from his home in Andorra for 10 days. The plan is to have another test next Wednesday and if this one is negative as well, he will be able to travel to Valencia and participate in Valencia II. This is very unfortunate, everybody was very careful. We are deeply sorry for that. We just hope that Iker will keep negative on the next tests and that we can see him next week here. Don’t forget, this is his home Grand Prix and him and the team were expecting so much from these two races, that it’s a real pity. But with how the world is at the moment, unfortunate things like this are happening. Again, we hope everything will be back to normal next week. Of course, he won’t be replaced for this event, therefore the whole Red Bull KTM Tech3 team will concentrate on our sole rider, Miguel Oliveira.”

MotoGP: Michelin Bringing Unique Tire Selection To Valencia #1

MICHELIN FACES A FINAL THREE AS VALENCIA DOES A DOUBLE BEFORE A DEBUT AT PORTIMAO

Michelin is back in Spain to start the final three-week trip of the 2020 MotoGP™ season as it heads to the penultimate venue of the year with Valencia taking centre stage and a double-header of the Gran Premio de Europa followed by the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana one-week later.

Valencia is traditionally the season-ending Grand Prix, but this year it will give way to a new circuit as the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimao, Portugal becomes the final location of this season’s unusual calendar. Before that happens though, Michelin and the MotoGP field face two races at the tricky and unusual Circuit Ricardo Tormo. It’s the only track fully enclosed in an arena, with grandstands surrounding the nine left- and five right-hand turns, unfortunately due to the restrictions caused by COVID-19, there will be no fans at trackside to give the usual vibrant feel that goes with a Valencian Grand Prix.

The tight and twisty layout of the anti-clockwise circuit means it will be the only track this season where the whole range of MICHELIN Power Slick tyres will be totally asymmetric to contend with the track’s 4,005m of asphalt, which will encounter quite cold conditions at this time of the year. The compounds – available in soft, medium and hard – for the front and rear have been specially matched to meet these demands and those of the circuit’s configuration. The asymmetric design will have the harder rubber on the left-hand side, to cope with the higher number of corners that travel in that direction and the increased stress that side of the tyre faces throughout each lap, whilst the right side will feature a compound designed to heat-up quickly in these demanding conditions.

Wet weather has been a feature at Valencia in recent seasons and with the races taking place in November the possibility of it arriving is quite high. With this prospect likely to arise, Michelin will have a range of its excellent MICHELIN Power Rain tyres to manage such situations and give riders the ultimate grip if any precipitation covers the circuit. Available in symmetric soft and medium compounds for the front and asymmetric soft and medium compounds, with a harder left-hand edge, for the rear, the allocation for the two events will remain the same for both rain and slick tyres.

Michelin and the MotoGP racers will take to the track on Friday for two Free Practice sessions. Saturday will feature more practice sessions before the all-important Qualifying, which decides grid positions for the 27-lap race. The Gran Premio de Europa and the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana will follow the same schedule with the first race getting underway at 14.00hrs local time (13.00hrs GMT/UTC) on Sunday 8th November and the second event scheduled for Sunday 15th November at the same start-time.

Piero Taramasso – Michelin Motorsport Two-Wheel Manager:

“This has been an unusual season and one that has been complicated with some very strange weather, but now as we reach the tail-end of the year we are heading to a circuit that we know what can be expected, as we visit Valencia at this time of the year in a normal calendar. We anticipate very cold mornings and the specific layout of the track with its tight turns and short straights, means it is one of the few tracks that we have a full asymmetric range of slicks for the front and rear, in fact it is the only one this season after the cancellation of Sachsenring and Phillip Island. The tyre spends a lot of time on the left, so never really cools down, but conversely the right is not used much so needs to heat up quickly when it is needed, so we have to blend the perfect combination of compounds to give the best pairing to satisfy all riders, as well as coping with the challenge of the weather and the characteristics of the track. These will be two very demanding weekends, but with past experience we know what to expect, come rain, shine or cold.”

LRRS Changing To NEMRR Under New Ownership

The Loudon Road Race Series (LRRS) is set to become North East Motorcycle Road Racing (NEMRR) under its new owners, veteran racers and businessmen John Grush and Eric Wood.

Just before the start of 2020, Grush and Wood were appointed Co-Executive Directors of LRRS, which was owned by New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS).

Now, NHMS has taken another step back and transferred complete ownership of LRRS to Grush and Wood, who intend to reinforce the things that made their club great while instituting changes to secure the future of the club and the sport in general.

“We want to get back to a club feel,” Grush told Roadracingworld.com in a telephone interview. “We think it got away from a club feeling and became more of a corporate feeling. We want it to be a welcoming [environment] to help grow the sport.

“There are so many barriers in the corporate world. NHMS is part of a big corporation [Speedway Motorsports, which also owns several other NASCAR racing venues] and they have more exposure, and because of that they have lawyers dictating a lot of the rules, like the age kids can come into the sport.”

“A few years ago,” said Wood, “we kind of developed a pathway to racing for younger riders in New England that really wasn’t there before. If you go back just a few years ago, we [LRRS] had no youth participation in the sport, almost none. If you looked around you saw a paddock that mostly had gray hairs.

“I’m not sure how to re-engage [the Millennial] generation, but I know that we can appeal to kids. So, our goal is to fill the paddock with as many kids in the 12- to 17-year-old range as possible. We went from five years ago having one or two kids racing and now we’re tapping on a dozen of them. It doesn’t sound like a huge deal, but if the trend continues my goal is to have 20 or so kids. And that’s 20 or so kids that are going to have this bug for the rest of their life.”

In addition to ensuring good customer service and a streamlined registration process that allows pre-registered racers to go directly to tech inspection when they arrive on a race weekend, Wood and Grush said they want to develop a new “for fun” racing class for new riders on motorcycles with track day-level preparation.

“We really believe in our heart of hearts that if people get the opportunity to taste it and see it and experience it in a low-pressure environment they will understand the real reason most of us race instead of just doing track days,” said Wood. “With that in mind, we may bring in a kind of class structure that was similar to what we did with our Penguin Riding Schools. At the end of the day we had a ‘fun race.’ It was described as being for fun. ‘Just go out there and take the green flag and take the checkered flag, and if you want to start from the back of the grid, no problem. It’s low, low, low pressure.’

“Over the course of three years of doing that at Penguin, we brought in a ton of people. Some of the people we brought in have become cornerstones of our racing community. We want to see how we can do that within the confines of a NEMRR race weekend.”

Grush and Wood also pointed out that even though NEMRR will race at venues other than NHMS, the Loudon Classic, which is three years away from its 100^th edition, will continue to run as an NEMRR event at NHMS.
