Long, 72 points More, from a press release issued by Pirelli: Pirelli Racers May and Barnes Crowd the Top of Supersport Podium Pirelli demonstrated its performance heritage by taking second and third in the hotly contested AMA Supersport race at Virginia International Raceway. M4 EMGO Suzuki teammates Geoff May and Michael Barnes stood on either side of race winner Jamie Hacking, after a tightly contested, race-long battle for the lead. May and Barnes were in a train with Hacking throughout the race, with May taking the lead in turn one a couple of times. Having an advantage both on the throttle and on the brakes showed off the incomparable traction of the Pirelli SuperCorsa Pros mounted on each end of May’s Suzuki. Before taking the lead, May had to fight his way up from fourth place. At the checkered flag May was merely 1.7 seconds behind the race winner, having been finally interrupted in his attempts to pass for the lead by racers being lapped. This was Pirelli’s second double podium of the year in the AMA Superbike series, made more remarkable by the few number of teams that understand that “power is nothing without control”. In Sunday’s Superbike Race Two, Millennium KWS Suzuki racer Matt Lynn felt as though he was on the podium by finishing 9th, as the second-placed privateer. A few spaces behind Lynn was Cory West, another privateer on Pirelli Diablo Superbike Slicks. The Superstock race at VIR saw Geoff May finish seventh on his M4 EMGO Suzuki GSX-R1000, with Matt Lynn taking a close eighth on his Millennium KWS Suzuki GSX-R1000. Other Pirelli riders using the Diablo Superbike Slicks in the Superstock top 15 include Chris Ulrich in 12th, John Haner in 13th, and Cory West in 14th, with Ulrich’s Roadracingworld.com teammate Roberto Pietri taking 16th. More, from a press release issued by Celtic Racing: Celtic Racing in the Top Dozen at VIR Celtic Racing’s Alastair Seeley finished 12th in both the Supersport 600 and the Formula Xtreme races at this weekend’s AMA Superbike Championship meeting at Virginia International Raceway. Seeley finished 12th in Saturday’s Formula Xtreme race before repeating the result in Sunday’s Supersport race, during which he joined the elite list of 600 riders who have lapped the circuit at under 1:30. Seeley did a 1:29.9 on the team’s Pirelli shod Yamaha R6. Seeley had qualified 15th for both races. Considering it was Seeley’s first visit to the very technical circuit, many seasoned observers were impressed by the circuit newcomer’s results.

The defending Superstock Champion picked up a fourth-place finish at the scenic Southern racetrack. The day before, Yates had struggled a bit in qualifying. Posting a fastest lap time of 1:26.566, the Georgian was slated to start from eighth position on the second row of the grid. “I got hung up messing around with qualifying tires instead of focusing on the right set-up,” said Yates. “So we weren’t as fast as we should have been. But I have faith in my crew and the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 that we’ll be more successful in the race.” Yates and crew were indeed more successful in the 17-lap race. He got an excellent start on his 1000cc Superstock bike and was in second place for the first half of the race. Although he slipped a few positions before the race’s end, Yates still walked away with a top-five result. “The bike started sliding early on,” said Yates. “I think we made the wrong tire choice. We tried a new tire for the race — although it worked well in practice, with the higher temperatures and everything, we just ran out of grip toward the end of the race. But we’re going to Road Atlanta next, which is my home track. And we had a good test there last week, so I’m looking forward to that race More, from a press release issued by Hotbodies Racing Mat Mladin Motorsports Suzuki: Hotbodies Racing Mat Mladin Motorsports Suzuki’s Craggill Picks up Seventh Top-10 Finish at VIR ALTON, Va., (Aug. 20, 2006) Hotbodies Racing Mat Mladin Motorsports Suzuki rider Marty Craggill captured his seventh top-10 finish of the 2006 season in the AMA Repsol Superstock race at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) in Alton, Va., on Sunday afternoon. With this finish, Craggill is a mere two points away from taking over seventh-overall in the Superstock Series. The weekend began with qualifying on Saturday afternoon. Craggill posted a fastest lap time of 1:27.064 and carded a third-row spot on the VIR starting grid. True to form, Craggill had more success on race tires than on qualifiers so the Australian used the session to focus on the race track. “VIR is a good track,” he said post-qualifying. “It’s relatively safe, there are a couple of hard-braking spots and I enjoy those. It’s a pretty fun track and the Virginia fans are great.” Sunday afternoon’s 17-lap race was rescheduled due to potential bad weather and saw Craggill get a rough start. “That’s the worst start I ever had,” said Craggill. “I let the clutch out too fast and did a big wheelie. I finally got the front wheel down and everyone came past me. But I worked my way up and felt like I rode pretty good.” Although he found himself far back in the field, the Australian put his head down and rallied on the Hotbodies Racing Mat Mladin Motorsports Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superstock bike. “The bike was good,” Craggill said. “I’m happy with the way I rode. This was one of my best rides this year. I came through, I didn’t fade and my lap times were really consistent. The last three races, I’ve been sick and at the end of the races I was going backward. Here, I felt like I was going forward.” Hotbodies Racing Mat Mladin Motorsports Suzuki’s next AMA Repsol Superstock race will be at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Ga., the weekend of Sept. 1-3, 2006.

Hendry, 122 points More, from a press release issued by Yoshimura Suzuki: Yoshimura Suzuki’s Mladin, Yates & Spies Dominate Sunday’s Superbike Race at VIR Round 9 AMA Superbike Series Alton, VA Virginia International Raceway Aug. 18 – 20, 2006 Team Yoshimura Suzuki was absolutely on fire in the second AMA Superbike race of the double-header weekend at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) in Alton, Va., on Sunday. Defending AMA Superbike Champion Mat Mladin won the race, while teammate Aaron Yates picked up his first Superbike podium of the year with a second-place finish. Yoshimura Suzuki’s Ben Spies, racing with a fractured right hand, still brought home a strong fourth place and maintained his AMA Superbike points lead. “After Mid-Ohio, I said all we could do is try to win as many races as possible and that’s what we did this weekend,” said Mladin of his fifth victory of the season and his fifth win at VIR. Overall, this win marks Mladin’s 48th career win. Starting from pole position, Mladin got a good start but then fell behind on the first lap. Working his way up from ninth, the six-time AMA Superbike Champion eventually found his way into the lead. “My start on my Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 was awesome,” said Mladin. “But I braked early in the first turn. I finally got a good start and look what I did with it. As for the championship, the only way we can win the title is if Ben loses it. The championship is in Ben’s hands. No matter what, it’s good to get a couple wins.” Teammate Yates also got a good start and led the first eight laps of the 28-lap race. Once Mladin got past him, however, Yates tucked in behind his teammate and the Yoshimura Suzuki duo finished together. “I don’t know why everything came together here at VIR,” said Yates of his first 2006 podium. “We found some things for the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 at the Road Atlanta test last week. And I knew I had to get a good start because I’ve had a tough time passing here. I have to thank my crew for doing a great job getting the Suzuki set up for me.” Meanwhile, Spies was suffering from a hand injury that he got from crashing in Superbike qualifying. Determined to maintain his points lead in AMA Superbike, however, the young Texan rode a strong, consistent race and finished in fourth. “I have to admit, these are the two worst races of my life,” said Spies of competing while injured this weekend. “But I knew that I had everything under control by running in fourth and I just needed to focus on the championship. We have a week and half to heal and come back ready for Road Atlanta.” More, from a press release issued by VIR: Mladin Sweeps AMA Superbike Races at VIR Alton, Va. (August 20) Six-time AMA Superbike champion Mat Mladin of Australia won Sunday’s AMA Superbike Championship race at VIRginia International Raceway’s Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals. The victory completed a sweep of the VIR doubleheader weekend for Mladin, who also won Saturday’s race. It marked the second doubleheader sweep of the season for Mladin, who won both legs at Elkhart Lake, Wis., in June. Mladin’s Yoshimura Suzuki passed teammate Aaron Yates, of Milledgeville, Ga., on lap 12 of the 28-lap final and motored away to a 5.278-second margin of victory. Yates finished second. Former series champion Miguel Duhamel was third on a Honda. “It was hard work getting around Miguel and Aaron,” said Mladin, whose perfect weekend breathed new life into the AMA Superbike title chase. “Everyone’s talking about the young guys in the series, but you’ve got three of the oldest riders in the series up here, so experience counts for something.” Series leader Ben Spies broke his right hand in Friday qualifying. The 22-year-old from Longview, Texas, rode with the injury and finished fourth. He held a 45-point lead in the series coming into the weekend and leaves 29 points ahead of defending champ Mladin with three rounds remaining. In the Pro Honda Oils Supersport Championship race, Yamaha USA’s Jamie Hacking clinched the series title with two races remaining when championship protagonist Roger Hayden’s Kawasaki fell out. Hacking emerged victorious in a tight three-way battle with Team M4 Emgo Suzuki teammates Geoff May and Michael Barnes taking second and third, respectively. Yamaha swept the podium in the Respol Superstock Championship race, with Eric Bostrom winning over teammates Hacking and Jason DiSalvo. The win was veteran Bostrom’s first ever in the Superstock series. The weekend was a huge success, with race promoter Cameron Gray of M1 Entertainment estimating the record weekend crowd at 50,000 over the course of the three-day event. It was the second consecutive year that Gray has promoted the event, which featured a wide variety of off-track entertainment and attractions for the fans. “We are thrilled with this year’s Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals,” Gray said. “We built on last year’s success and have exceeded our expectations in terms of spectators and sponsorships. The Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals is quickly becoming one of the ‘must-do’ events on the professional motorcycle racing calendar, and we intend to keep building on our momentum in the years to come. The staff at VIR has been great to work with, and the fans here are terrific. As soon as we catch our breath, we’ll be hard at work on our plans to make this event even better for next year.” “The Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals is our most-anticipated event of the year,” said VIR general manager Josh Lief, “and Cameron Gray and his staff have outdone themselves in putting on a great show for both the fans and the racers. They have transformed a race weekend into a three-day festival of motorcycling, and we have heard nothing but rave reviews from the spectators. We look forward to more of the same next year, and for many years to come.” The next spectator event on VIR’s schedule is the annual visit of Historic Sportscar Racing, Ltd., scheduled for Labor Day weekend.
