AMA Pro Racing’s electronic timing & scoring system shut down during the first practice session for the AMA Supersport class Wednesday morning at Daytona International Speedway. Over one hour after the Supersport practice session had ended lap times were still not available to riders or members of the media. As the fourth practice session of the day, Formula Xtreme, took to the track Wednesday morning, no printed practice results for any session have been made available in the media center. Results from Wednesday morning’s practices were also not available on the official AMA website. AMA Pro Racing’s electronic timing & scoring system came back up in the middle of the first Superbike practice and continues to operate as the first Formula Xtreme practice takes to the track. AMA Racing Vice President Ken Rogers, who previously served as AMA Pro Racing Director of Timing and Scoring, resigned from the organization about two weeks ago. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Roger Hayden and Jamie Hacking were leading Wednesday morning Supersport practice when the timing & scoring system shut down. Update: At 11:43 a.m. local time practice results began to appear on AMA Pro Racing’s official website.

Team Stargel is back in 2007 and rolls with the punches The rider for the Michelin shod Team Stargel will again be 2005 and 2006 team rider and 2003 AMA Horizon Award winner, Brian Stokes. Though Brian was scheduled to be on the Stargel Yamahas for the upcoming Daytona events, injuries sustained during the ASRA event at Daytona have precluded Brian from riding at the AMA events. Team owner Rocky Stargel commented on Brian’s injury: “What a difficult way to start off our year. Steve Liberatore and Yamaha really pitched in to give us the jump on 2007 with their potent R6 and R1 and Ron Wood at Michelin really gave us an edge to start our season. Bill Syfan and Leo Vince helped us put out some impressive, useable power. Brian getting hurt was a heartbreak to everyone but we are committed to have Brian back on our bikes as soon as he is physically able.” Past AMA race winner Tony “The Tiger” Meiring will be filling in for Stokes at Daytona. “I am looking forward to seeing Tony on our bikes to see how he does; I only wish it had come about in another way.” Stargel commented. Stargel also commented on the outpouring of support and concern for Brian Stokes injuries. “I was taken aback at the number of people who came over to check on Brian and to see if we needed any help with the bikes. Kevin Hunt from KWS, Chip Spalding and too many to begin to name were a huge help and their concern and aid really made me feel proud to be part of the AMA paddock.” The team is committed to having Brian Stokes back as soon possible but if Brian is unable to compete at Barber a decision on the rider will be made leading up to the round.

Zemke, Duhamel Bring Honda’s 1-2 Punch For 66th Daytona 200 By Honda DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., — Honda’s Jake Zemke will try to defend his Daytona 200 By Honda victory while his teammate Miguel Duhamel will attempt to win a record sixth triumph in the 66th motorcycle classic that is scheduled for Saturday, March 10. Zemke captured last year’s Daytona 200 By Honda and will be shooting for back-to-back victories in the 68-lap motorcycle classic that will start on Saturday at 2 p.m. “It was real big,” Zemke said during one of the preseason tire tests at DIS. “As I said after it happened, as a kid growing up I always looked at all the names of the people who have won this race. Historically, the Daytona 200 is the biggest race we have in America, and it means an awful lot to put my name up there with some of the legends of motorcycle racing.” Duhamel won his first Daytona 200 By Honda back in 1991 and his fifth victory which tied him with motorcycle legend Scott Russell atop the wins’ list came in 2005. If Duhamel was to win a sixth Daytona 200 By Honda on Saturday, he would also become the oldest winner of the historic motorcycle race at the age of 38. Dick Mann is currently the oldest winner on record in the Daytona 200 By Honda when he was just shy of 37 years old when he won the race in 1971. “I’d be extremely blessed and lucky if I can get another shot at winning it again,” Duhamel said. Other riders that will content for a Daytona 200 By Honda are Erion Racing’s Josh Hayes, who finished second to Zemke, and Yamaha’s Jason DiSalvo and M4 EMGO Suzuki’s Michael Barnes. Winning the Daytona 200 By Honda is not only important to the riders in the race, but also the manufacturers. A victory in motorcycle’s premier event can translate into bigger bike sales for manufacturers. “To win the Daytona 200, it’s huge for the manufacturers because it’s the start of spring,” Zemke said. “It’s March. It’s when all the sport bikes are coming out. It creates a lot of press and a lot of publicity for the manufacturers that win the race. It’s definitely a great way to sell motorcycles. That’s the whole reason why we do race, because it’s an advertising tool to the public to showcase the attributes of the bike.” Tickets for any of the Daytona 200 Week By Honda events are available online at ~http://www.racetickets.com~ or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP. More, from a press release issued by Johnny Rock Page: JOHNNY ROCK PAGE #269 AMA-PRO TO DEBUT LAST YEARS GRAVES YAMAHA R1-LE’S AT DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY Johnny Rock Page of Phoenix AZ will attempt to participate in the opening round of the AMA Series in four of four classes: Superbike, Superstock, Supersport, and FX in the Daytona 200 Wednesday, March 7th through Saturday, March 10th. The opening round starts with Daytona International Speedway (The same as NASCAR) having the same impact of one of the most prestigious races of the season. As the “Worlds Largest Motorcycle Event” bike week is celebrating its 66th anniversary in 2007 and will play host to well over 250,000 motorcyclists & spectators. Johnny Rock Page will be trying to race in (4) events on his 944.com (Magazine) prepared motorcycles. On his 2006 YAMAHA R1-LE he will be racing in Superstock and Superbike. For the Daytona “200” FX class and Supersport he will be racing on his 2006 YAMAHA R6’s. The Superbike and FX races will be televised live on Speed channel (schedule below). Johnny has been testing the Graves-Yamaha R1-LE’s since last October in which he took a podium finish during Nationals and at his home track Firebird Raceway: Main, East, and west, getting them race ready for this years AMA-PRO events. The challenge was getting the bikes chassis to work for him weighing 170 Pounds VS how the set ups were in place for Jamie Hacking and Eric Bostrom. Johnny has never raced in the Superbike Class at an AMA-PRO event. He has set what he thinks are realistic personal goals in hopes of qualifying for at least 50% of the scheduled AMA-PRO Superbike events, on his 944.com (Magazine), Superstock bikes. “I really want to get rid of my 600cc motorcycles, however until my riding level goes up as a Superbike racer, the thought of not qualifying for the Superbike class and being stuck salivating only racing in the Superstock class makes me nauseous. When you see me sell my 600cc motorcycles, you’ll know that I’m ready and confident, until then wish me luck and good skill in trying to get faster!” The schedule for Daytona race week is as follows: Speed Channel Coverage Wednesday March 7th Practice Thursday March 8th (2:30 ET) Qualifying and Supersport and Superstock races Friday March 9th Supercross races Saturday March 10th (Live) 11:00 AM ET Superbike (Live) 1:30 PM ET Daytona 200 Formula Xtreme

American Honda riders Miguel Duhamel and Jake Zemke go into Saturday’s Daytona 200 race aiming to give Honda a third consecutive victory in America’s most prestigious road race, a record as the first manufacturer to win three 200s on the bounce. The two riders will be equipped with the latest version of the CBR600RR that carried Zemke to victory last year and Duhamel the win in 2005. Duhamel 38, from LaSalle – Quebec, Canada is chasing a record breaking sixth win in the event. Currently tied on five wins with fellow American Scott Russell, Duhamel is a strong favourite of many to use the CBR600RR power to dominate the race but Zemke has tasted victory at in the 200 and will push him all the way in the 68 lap race. Should Duhamel score a sixth record breaking win he will be the oldest rider ever to win the race, the legendary Dick Mann is the current holder of that honour winning the 200 when just short of his 37th birthday. “All the Honda boys will be on the same bike so they’ll be really fast,” Duhamel explained. “And then you’ll have the riders from Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Ducati who should be really strong as well. They might pop their head in there and surprise some people. But that’s the nature of the Daytona 200, you can always expect surprises from that race.” “The Daytona 200, as anyone can tell you if you grew up racing, you knew all about it,” Zemke said after winning last year. “It doesn’t matter (even) if you’re a motocrosser. Motocrossers know about the Daytona 200. Everybody knows about the Daytona 200. So it’s something, as a kid that you look at the names on the list of the winners of the 200, and it’s a who’s who list, and I’m proud to put my name up there.” The Daytona race will be the only time the American Honda riders campaign the CBR600RR their main target for 2007 will be the AMA Superbike Championship. In the premier class of US road racing the two will contest the 11 event 19 race schedule aboard CBR1000RR Hondas in a bid to regain the title last won by reigning MotoGP World Champion Nicky Hayden, in 2002. The first Superbike race action of the season will be the curtain raiser on 200-race day and Duhamel and Zemke will chase maximum Superbike points to get the season off to a perfect start. Fitted with traction control for the first time the CBR1000RRs have been running consistently fast times in winter testing and both men are confident of finishing higher this time round than the third place finish overall by Duhamel last season. Zemke ended 2006 in eighth place. The Superbike race will serve a double purpose on Saturday. The race is crucial to the early season fortunes of the American Honda team but also caries the additional benefit of data gathering on track conditions, tyre wear and pit crew refuelling practice in preparation for the Daytona 200 later in the day.

Klaus Klaffenböck and his sidecar passenger Christian Parzer have just taken delivery of their new sidecar which they will race at the Centenary TT races. The sidecar has been crafted by Swiss specialist manufacturer LCR. The LC in LCR is Louis Christen who next to Dave Molyneux, is the only man capable of building machines that can take on the rigours of the TT Mountain circuit. Riders will queue up to get their hands on one of these! Klaffi and Christian already have experience of an LCR F2 sidecar as that is what they used to put in their best lap time on the Isle of Man in 2006. The new 2007 model has further improvements and updates. The front fairing has been raised in front of the rider to provide better head and shoulder protection which also improves aerodynamics. The air intakes for the air box have been integrated into the fairing. The air box itself is larger to improve the air supply to the engine. The chassis has been reinforced which will help it deal with the undulations of the Mountain circuit. The engine is no longer a load bearing element of the chassis and is rubber mounted for less vibration. Even the brake system layout has been revised giving it better cover in the driver’s area which in turn allows more space in the chair for Parzer to stretch out! With the LCR sidecar now at Klaffi Honda’s workshop the team is preparing it for the first roll out. The Honda CBR 600RR engine which will be fitted to the sidecar has already been prepared. With the new sidecar Klaffenböck and Parzer are likely to achieve a top speed of over 260 kilometres per hour.
