SHANNONVILLE, Ont. – Parts Canada Superbike Championship points leader Jordan Szoke won a wild battle for pole position at this weekend’s final round at Shannonville Motorsport Park on Saturday. Riding the Canadian Kawasaki Motors Kawasaki ZX-10R the Brantford, Ont. rider set a new lap record of one minute, 4.632 seconds with just under five minutes remaining in the session to claim his fourth Inside Motorcycles Pole Position Award of the season. Szoke also extended his points lead over Steve Crevier in the Parts Canada Superbike standings heading into Sunday’s final race. He now has a 28-pointe edge, 266 to the 238 of Crevier with 50 points available to the race winner. Crevier qualified third on his Team Toyota Yamaha / Fast Company Yamaha YZF-R1 with a time of 1:04.704. “This is exciting for me,” said the 28-year-old Szoke, the defending Superbike champion. “This is typically my worst track. There are a lot of places I expect to win the pole but this isn’t one of them.” Joining the two title rivals on the front row will be Szoke’s 16-year-old teammate Brett McCormick and Mississauga, Ont.’s Matt McBride. McCormick, from Saskatoon, turned a fastest lap of 1:04.682 on his Kawasaki while McBride set a 1:04.782 on the Riders Choice Suzuki GSX-R1000. The third contender for the Parts Canada Superbike title, Cochrane, Alta.’s Clint McBain qualified fifth with a time of 1:04.851 on his Suzuki Acceleration Racing Suzuki. McBain is now 41 points behind Szoke in the standings with 225. The top five were all under McBride’s previous track record of 1:04.900. The top qualifying spot changed hands three times in the final 10 minutes. McCormick beat Crevier’s mark with just over five minutes remaining, only to have Szoke nip him moments later. “I knew my time would be good,” said McCormick after his best qualifying performance of the year. “But you never know what can happen. Jordan’s always fast and Crevier seems to pull a rabbit out of the hat every weekend. But we have an awesome race set up.” In other action at Shannonville, Maple Ridge, B.C.’s Crevier claimed pole for Sunday’s Yoshimura Pro 600 Sport Bike race with a time of 1:05.637 on his Yamaha YZF-R6. Szoke was a close second with a 1:05.676 aboard his Kawasaki ZX-6R and takes an 18-point lead over Crevier, 261-243, into Sunday’s race. McBride was third on his Suzuki GSX-R600 at 1:05.724. The top three were all under the previous lap record. Brampton, Ont.’s Rahul Dua claimed pole for the International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW Amateur 600 Sport Bike class with a time of 1:09.338 on his Yamaha YZF-R6. Series leader Paul Glenn of Keene, Ont. was second at 1:09.443 aboard a Suzuki GSX-R600 and extended his advantage in the standings to 14 points over Oak Lake, Man.’s Israel Johnas, who qualified eighth on a Kawasaki ZX-6R. Michael Taylor closed to within a point of Michael Leon for the lead of the Thunder standings by qualifying fastest with a record time of 1:08.691 aboard his BMW Motorrad Canada BMW R1200S. Brantford, Ont.’s Robert Busby claimed pole for the Suzuki SV650 National Cup with a track record 1:11.320. Points leader Martin Grande was third, just behind title rival Derek Vammus.

Michael Barnes, 71 More, from a press release issued by Pirelli: Again it’s Attack’s Attard at Atlanta, Taking Second for Pirelli in FX Even the pavement sweats in Georgia, and so Saturday practice and qualifying was delayed until AMA Superbike officials could paint white outlines around the damp stains on Road Atlanta’s seeping surface, causing a crush in the day’s schedule, which was further complicated by impending afternoon rains forecast from the 93% humid skies. In the suddenly combined Superstock practice and qualifying, Geoff May, on his Pirelli-shod M4 EMGO Suzuki GSX-R1000 earned a front row spot for Sunday’s race, qualifying fourth. On the inside of row two will be Chris Ulrich on his Team Roadracingworld.com Suzuki, posting his best qualifying position for the season. New teammate Gary Mason showed his craft by setting the eighth-fastest time on the grid, sharing the second row with Ulrich. Their teammate Robertino Pietri laid down the tenth-best time of the session, giving Pirelli nearly half of the top-ten riders on the grid using Diablo Superbike Slicks. The Formula Xtreme race rushed to 3:00 pm on Saturday’s schedule saw Ben Attard take second place on his Team Attack Kawasaki ZX-6R, with teammate Steve Rapp finishing fourth. Attard not only set the race’s fastest lap, he set the race’s two fastest laps, each shown on AMA timing and scoring during the race but inexplicably deleted by errant data confusion after the race. Adding to Attard and Attack’s remarkable performances is the fact that those fastest laps were set in the last few closing laps of the race as Attard reeled in race-winner Joshua Hayes, finishing just .412 seconds adrift. After the race Attard said, “Our team is working great together and the new tires Pirelli is giving us work just how I like them to. I nut it out with both crew chiefs, Richard and Joey and we’re all together on everything.” Right behind Rapp in FX was Martin Cardenas in fifth, scoring yet another top-five finish for the M4 EMGO Suzuki team, giving Pirelli three of the top-five finishers at Road Atlanta, all on Diablo Superbike Slicks. Rounding out the top ten was Cory West on his Team Hunter Yamaha YZF R-6, tuned by Chuck Giacchetto. More, from a press release issued by Team M4 EMGO Suzuki: SUCCESSFUL DAY AT THE TRACK FOR M4 EMGO SUZUKI AT ROAD ATLANTA Team M4 EMGO Suzuki enjoyed a tremendous day at the track on Saturday at Road Atlanta, claiming a top-five race result, two front row grid positions, and an additional pair of second row starting spots. Colombian Martin Cardenas again proved to be a real contender in the Formula Xtreme class, guiding the team’s Pirelli-shod GSX-R600 FX racer to fifth place in Saturday’s once-stopped 13-lap race. It was the fourth time the former factory World 250 Grand Prix pilot has finished in the Formula Xtreme top five since joining the team five races back. Earlier in the day hometown favorite Geoff May put in a pair of excellent qualifying performances. Due to overnight showers and subsequent water seepage up through the track surface, the schedule was revised and the morning’s practice sessions were transformed into qualifying sessions at the last minute. May reacted admirably to the shift, earning a spot on the outside of the front row in Superstock with the fourth best time of the session (1:23.892), and then following that up with a dramatic second-placed qualifying run in Supersport thanks to a 1: 25.459 posted in the session’s final moments. May said, “They just sprung qualifying on us and everybody was dealing with adverse conditions. We didn’t know it was going to be qualifying on the Superstock bike until it was too late to do anything about it so we just worked on our race pace. We’ve been feeling like we were a little behind on our race set-up so we just worked on that the entire session. We figured we’d end up on the first or second row anyway and we got the first row, so that was really good. “On the 600 I had some issues with the bike mid-session and the mechanics were scrambling to get it working right. I got back out with just enough time left. I had to do a pretty scorching hot lap just to make it around and on my qualifying lap it was all or nothing. I laid it on the line and got second. We just got it in the nick of time. My crew was awesome — nobody panicked and they got the job done.” Looking ahead to tomorrow’s races, the Gainesville GA resident remarked, “I think we’re looking really good on the 600. We’re able to run what I did in qualifying on my race set-up and knock them out repeatedly.” Cardenas and Michael Beck will start the 15-lap Supersport race just one row behind May as all three of the Team M4 EMGO Suzuki GSX-R600s earned qualifying positions in the top eight. Cardenas was fifth best at 1:25.724 while Beck was just a little further back in eighth at 1:25.985.

Six-time AMA Superbike Champion Mat Mladin won Saturday’s AMA Superbike race at Road Atlanta on his Dunlop-shod Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000. The win was Mladin’s fifth in a row, his 11th in 2007, the 62nd (the most all-time) of his career and it pulled him to within two points of his teammate and the current points leader Ben Spies. Spies, the defending AMA Superbike Champion, was racing with Mladin in the early laps but crashed, causing a red flag. The young Texan was able to restart from the back of the grid and work his way up to second, but he could not catch Mladin. Spies’ effort, however, continued his streak of finishing second or better in every race so far in 2007. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jamie Hacking and Michael Jordan Motorsports Suzuki’s Aaron Yates fought over third all the way down to the flag. When the smoke cleared, Hacking had his third podium finish in the past four races, and Yates was fourth, 0.4-second behind Hacking. American Honda’s Jake Zemke held off Hacking’s teammate Roger Hayden to place fifth. Fast By Ferracci MV Agusta’s Matt Lynn took his best finish of the season, seventh, one spot better than his Italian teammate Luca Scassa. Yates’ teammate Jake Holden scored ninth on his Superstock-spec GSX-R1000, while Tommy Hayden salvaged 10th on his Yoshimura Suzuki, after crashing earlier in the race. Yamaha’s Jason DiSalvo also crashed in the race, but he was not able to restart. His teammate Eric bostrom retired one lap later with engine problems. Corona Extra Honda’s James Ellison dropped out of the race early on, with a clutch fried in the restart. 2007 AMA Superbike Championship Presented by Parts Unlimited Road Atlanta Braselton, Georgia September 1, 2007 Provisional Race Results: 1.

Doug Chandler, 93 More, from a press release issued by American Suzuki: Yoshimura Suzuki’s Mladin Takes 11th Victory of Season in Road Atlanta Superbike Race I Spies & Hayden both rally after crashing to finish second & 10th Round 10 AMA Superbike Series Braselton, GA Road Atlanta Aug. 31 Sept. 2, 2007 Yoshimura Suzuki’s Mat Mladin won his 11th AMA Superbike race of the season in Saturday’s race at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Ga. With this victory, Mladin tied his own record for most AMA Superbike race wins in a single season. This is also the 62nd career AMA Superbike win for the six-time AMA Superbike Champion. Yoshimura Suzuki teammate Ben Spies finished in second place after a crash and a red flag, which resulted in Spies re-starting from the back of the grid. In spite of this, the defending AMA Superbike Champion worked his way through the field to finish on the podium. Yoshimura Suzuki’s Tommy Hayden was running in an impressive fourth position when another rider made contact with him and he went down. Hayden re-entered the race and charged hard to make it up to the top 10 before the race’s end. Saturday’s 25-lap race was the first of two AMA Superbike races in this weekend’s double-header event. Mat Mladin: “It was a good race for us today and it was good to get the win. To have 11 wins for the year, well, it’s been a pretty good season so far. We’re definitely looking at trying to win another race tomorrow. Before the red flag today, we had a good pace on the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000. There were places where Ben was very strong but I knew that we were strong also in a few spots. We were doing our best to just try and eke it out and try to put as much pressure on Ben as possible. He knows that he wants to win the championship a lot more than I do and he knows that you’ve got to win races if you’re going to win the championship, so he’s got to get going. That’s made for good racing out there and we’re looking forward to tomorrow. Hopefully, we can put on a good show.” Ben Spies: “We had pretty good speed on the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 before the re-start. That was just a little mistake”¦ the way I threw the bike in there or something. After I got back to the pits I saw the bike wasn’t torn up too bad. I looked at the lap times and told the guys that we could at least go out and get second place today. I set a couple decent laps in the beginning and tried to be as patient as possible. All together, coming in second isn’t too bad after crashing and coming back from last place. Tomorrow, we’ve got to find a little speed. We’re close, but we need to find something for a little edge.” Tommy Hayden: “I’ve felt pretty good all weekend. In fact, this is the best I’ve felt in a while. I was looking forward to the race and I knew the start would be important and I got good starts both times. I got a good start in the first start and a really good one in the second. Then another rider took me out and that pretty much put an end to my race. After that, I tried to get back up in case there was another red flag and I could try and get another good start or if not, just try and get as many points as I could.” The Yoshimura Suzuki team will return for the second AMA Superbike race of the weekend on Sunday.

El piloto venezolano, Robertino Pietri aseguró el puesto número diez en la parrilla de salida de la décima válida del torneo AMA Pro, en la categoría Superstock con un tiempo de 1:24.9. Pietri, quien en las prácticas oficiales hizo el doceavo mejor tiempo, trabajó arduamente tanto con su equipo para lograr la puesta a punto de su Suzuki GSX-R1000, como en sí mismo para clasificar lo mejor posible para la carrera de este fin de semana. “Me siento muy contento con lo que logramos hoy. A pesar de que las condiciones de la pista no eran las mejores, hicimos un excelente tiempo, lo que nos da más confianza para hacer una buena carrera mañana y así quedar entre los cinco primeros lugares” afirmó el joven de 22 años quien marcha de décimo en la tabla general del campeonato. Se espera que para el día de mañana la lluvia pueda seguir cayendo en Road Atlanta, pero esto no significa un obstáculo para Pietri ya que asegura conocer bien el circuito y que es capaz de adaptarse a las condiciones climáticas con las que lidiar el día de mañana. Lo importante es lograr la puesta a punto de la moto lo más rápido posible para así seleccionar los cauchos ideales para la válida. El actual líder del torneo, Ben Spies logró la Pole Position con un tiempo de 1:23.0. Spies rompió el record de vuelta de la categoría en el día de ayer en las prácticas oficiales.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (September 1, 2007) The countdown has begun and excitement is mounting as teams around the world prepare for the 8 Hours At Daytona Finale, October 19-20 at Daytona International Speedway. The final round in this year’s SunTrust MOTO-ST Series, this prestigious event is the one that every team wants to win. With $100,000 in purse money and valuable championship points on the line, the action will be fast and incredibly intense as teams take to the legendary 3.56-mile Daytona track, each determined to be the ones to earn the distinct honor of winning this season grand finale. Debuting last October, the SunTrust MOTO-ST Series features three classes; The Buell Motorcycle Company SuperSport Twins class (SST) which includes motorcycles producing between 90-118 horsepower, the BMW Grand Sport Twins class (GST) covering motorcycles producing 75-90 horsepower and Sport Twins (ST) for machines under 75 horsepower. At the end of the first 8 Hours it was Team San Jose BMW’s Brian Parriott, Nate Kern and Stephene Mertens who took top SST and overall honors by a margin of victory of 14.856-seconds. “And now we want to do it again,” echo both Parriott and Kern, who also have the distinction of being the very first team to enter. “It was definitely awesome to take the win at the inaugural SunTrust MOTO-ST 8 Hours At Daytona and what could be better than notching yet another victory this time out.” But it won’t easy as there are numerous other teams that all have the very same idea. Winning an endurance race is far different than a sprint race and in team competition numerous factors come into play. It is not simply a question of man and machine or who is the fastest rider or who has the better- prepped bike. Naturally those are key issues, but even more important is the ability of the entire team to work as a single unit”¦to be able to do lightening fast pit stops and to be able to make any necessary repairs extremely quickly. Many races are won in the pits and in fact, pit work is what San Jose BMW attributes to their victory at Daytona last year. “This is just a great series,” adds Pair-A-Nine’s ST team rider Jim Filice. “It doesn’t get any better than this. Both my teammate Jay (Springsteen) and I are really pleased to be part of the action. This has been a terrific first season. We’ve been lucky enough to grab three wins (Daytona, Homestead and Iowa), a second (Virginia) and a fifth (Road America) and hold the class lead. With a little luck we plan to land the ST championship at Daytona.” In GST the points are extremely close with four teams looking to take home the class crown. While there is no way to predict the outcome of a race, the one thing that can be predicted is the fact that the racing at the 8 Hours At Daytona will be some of the most exciting seen anywhere in the country. In short, this is an event not to be missed. The SunTrust MOTO-ST Series is organized and sanctioned by Professional Motorsports Productions (PMP) of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and the Grand American Road Racing Association (Grand-Am), based in Daytona Beach, Fla., provides the series with administrative and commercial support.
