American Miller Sponsored By ACT Leathers In Macau

Mark Miller competing in the Macau Grand Prix this year aboard the Superbikelife.com Suzuki 1000 will be wearing the latest in superbike safety gear. ACT Racing, one of the newest leather manufactures in the paddock, has supplied Mark with one of their latest suits to hit the market. “We build suits to the same specs as some of the larger name companies in the sport,” said Andy Chung owner of ACT Racing, ” we just offer them at a true privateer price.” “Mark is one of the highest finishing Americans at Macau and we are privileged to have him wearing our product.” Miller’s strong finishes include 4th in ’98, 4th in ’99, and 3rd in 2000. This makes Mark tied with the late Randy Renfrow who finished 3rd in 1986, and Shawn Higbee finished 3rd in 1997. The highest finishing American since Kevin Schwantz won a race there in 1988. We wish Mark the best of finishes while he is in Macau representing our sport and our country. ACT Racing has had a lot of input from top AMA Superbike riders in building their suits and says their effort to continue to keep the sport safe and affordable will grow. Their current rider line up includes Jack Pfeifer, from Las Vegas. Pfeifer well known as being super fast around local tracks is most notably known for finishing 4th in the 2004 Daytona 200. Scott “Scooter” Jensen, one of the most consistent top privateers in the AMA Superbike series has been a part of the ACT Racing family since the start and he will continue to wear ACT Racing leathers in 2006. Look for a few local talents to be ripping up the tracks in 2006 wearing ACT Racing safety equipment. In 2006 ACT Racing leathers will be exclusively available through Superbike City, owned by Rodney Rayborne, crew chief for Marty Craggill of the Mat Mladin Motorsports racing team. Rodney was Miller’s engine builder in 1999 at Attack Racing which is how the support for Mark came about.

CCS Race Team Delivers Supplies To Hurricane Wilma Relief Effort

On Saturday, November 12, the MIVA Race Team delivered a truckload of supplies and food to the Gudalupe Center in Immokalee. The Center routinely assists the many needs of the area poor and migrant communities. Those needs were greatly exacerbated by Hurricane Wilma. We were met by the head of the center and a small group of volunteers who routinely spend 40-60 hours a week volunteering. We delivered 16 bags and 3 large boxes of clothing, dozens of boxes of food, 8 large boxes of diapers, two large boxes of baby food and kids toys. There were heart-felt thanks and hugs all around. $360 in cash and checks were sent to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Wilma Relief. Along the road we saw many blue tarped roofs and several buildings completely destroyed. If you haven’t been to Immokalee, Clewiston or Everglades City since the storm, you should. Many people who had little are now left with nothing. Special thanks to all of you who stopped by and contributed. Scott Robertson RobertsonRacing Racing. Charity.

AMA Revises 2006 Superbike Schedule, Adds Second Mid-Ohio Date

AMA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP ADDS MID-OHIO SPORTS CAR COURSE FINALE, CONFIRMS SCHEDULE CHANGES PICKERINGTON, Ohio (Nov. 17, 2005) AMA Pro Racing announced today that it will add a new weekend of the AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited to its 2006 schedule and confirmed the move of two of its previously scheduled mid-season dates. The new event will be a unique season-ending shootout at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. The date changes involve moving the Infineon Raceway, Sonoma, Calif., event from its originally-scheduled date of May 5-7 to May 19-21 and the move of the Virginia International Raceway, Alton, Va., round up one week to Aug. 18-20. The total number of AMA Superbike races in the 11-event championship remains at 19, the highest ever. As part of a five-year agreement with Mid-Ohio, the AMA Superbike Shootout, as the season-ending event will be known, is scheduled for Sept. 29 Oct. 1, and will feature a unique format and points arrangement. While details have yet to be finalized, plans call for entries to be limited and a special points structure to be utilized. In addition to determining the AMA Superbike Champion, the Mid-Ohio finale will crown champions in each of the series’ support classes including AMA Supersport, Superstock and Formula Xtreme. “We are happy to bring an additional round of the AMA Superbike Championship to Mid-Ohio, said Scott Hollingsworth, AMA Pro Racing’s CEO. “Mid-Ohio is clearly a fan favorite and it makes sense to build on the success the track has established in its 23 years of hosting AMA Superbike events.” Mid-Ohio will continue to host an August Superbike doubleheader, the Honda Super Cycle Weekend presented by Dunlop Tire, in addition to the fall finale. The midsummer race was moved from its traditional date for 2006, but is set to return to July in 2007. “We didn’t want to simply add another AMA Superbike date to our calendar,” said Mid-Ohio President Michelle Trueman Gajoch. “We wanted to be part of something very special in the motorcycling community and with the urgency of the season finale and the unique format that is planned, we think we’ve accomplished that. We expect it to be one of the premier events in all of motorcycle racing.” Trueman Gajoch added that Mid-Ohio will continue with its comprehensive track improvement plans and that additional details are forthcoming. AMA Superbike Championship races at Mid-Ohio have traditionally been some of the best-attended on the AMA Pro Racing calendar. The track began hosting AMA nationals in 1983. AMA Pro Racing also announced that the Pikes Peak Raceway event in Fountain, Colo., has been officially removed from the schedule due to the sale and slated closure of the facility. As previously announced, AMA Pro Racing officials continue to discuss the disposition of that event with the new owners since the parties have a binding contract for 2006. Infineon Raceway requested that its event date be moved to the now open Pikes Peak date. The change improves the overall schedule by breaking up a stretch of three consecutive weekend events at the end of April and beginning of May. The schedule also creates a unique opportunity for racing fans to catch both an AMA Superbike event and AMA Motocross event over the course of a couple days. The Hangtown Classic, the first race of the 2006 AMA Motocross Championship presented by FMF will kick off on the same weekend In Sacramento, a relatively short drive from Sonoma. Hollingsworth pointed out that it would be possible to catch the Superbike action at Infineon Raceway on Saturday and then take in the Motocross action on Sunday. 2006 AMA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY PARTS UNLIMITED SCHEDULE March 8-11 Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, FL April 21-23 Barber Motorsports Park, Birmingham, AL (Superbike Doubleheader) April 28-30 California Speedway, Fontana, CA (Superbike Doubleheader) May 19-21 Infineon Raceway, Sonoma, CA (Superbike Doubleheader) June 2-4 Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI (Superbike Doubleheader) June 16-18 Miller Motorsports Park, Tooele, UT (Superbike Doubleheader) July 21-23 Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Monterey, CA ** August 4-6 Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Lexington, OH (Superbike Doubleheader) Aug. 18-20 Virginia International Raceway, Alton, VA (Superbike Doubleheader) Sept. 1-3 Road Atlanta, Braselton, GA (Superbike Doubleheader) Sept. 30-Oct. 1 Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Lexington, OH **AMA & Moto GP combined weekend Dates and Locations Subject to Change About AMA Pro Racing AMA Pro Racing is the leading sanctioning body for motorcycle sport in the United States.

Talladega Gran Prix Raceway To Be Closed Temporarily In 2006 Due To Road Construction

0

Talladega Gran Prix Raceway, a 1.35-mile road course for motorcycles and go-karts located near Talladega, Alabama will be closed during the second half of 2006 due to the widening of Highway 21, which borders the track property. According to co-owner David Upchurch, there currently is no exact date when the track will shut down as the Alabama Department of Transportation has given him no exact date it will begin widening Highway 21 from two lanes to four lanes at the track’s entrance. Upchurch said when he begins scheduling the 2006 season in December, he will not schedule any track rentals past mid-summer 2006. Upchurch plans to re-open the track on January 1, 2007. In addition to forcing the closure of the track, the highway widening will take away some of Talladega Gran Prix Raceway’s property and some of the run-off area of its fastest corners. As a result, the track will be re-configured while the highway construction takes place. Ed Bargy, the original designer of the 20-year-old track, has been working on the reconfiguration plans for at least two years, said Upchurch. “I think people will like the new version even better than the old,” said Upchurch, who said the track will remain approximately 1.35 miles in length.

CCS Race Team Delivers Supplies To Hurricane Wilma Relief Effort

On Saturday, November 12, the MIVA Race Team delivered a truckload of supplies and food to the Gudalupe Center in Immokalee. The Center routinely assists the many needs of the area poor and migrant communities. Those needs were greatly exacerbated by Hurricane Wilma. We were met by the head of the center and a small group of volunteers who routinely spend 40-60 hours a week volunteering. We delivered 16 bags and 3 large boxes of clothing, dozens of boxes of food, 8 large boxes of diapers, two large boxes of baby food and kids toys. There were heart-felt thanks and hugs all around. $360 in cash and checks were sent to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Wilma Relief. Along the road we saw many blue tarped roofs and several buildings completely destroyed. If you haven’t been to Immokalee, Clewiston or Everglades City since the storm, you should. Many people who had little are now left with nothing. Special thanks to all of you who stopped by and contributed. Scott Robertson RobertsonRacing Racing. Charity.

AMA Revises 2006 Superbike Schedule, Adds Second Mid-Ohio Date

AMA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP ADDS MID-OHIO SPORTS CAR COURSE FINALE, CONFIRMS SCHEDULE CHANGES PICKERINGTON, Ohio (Nov. 17, 2005) AMA Pro Racing announced today that it will add a new weekend of the AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited to its 2006 schedule and confirmed the move of two of its previously scheduled mid-season dates. The new event will be a unique season-ending shootout at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. The date changes involve moving the Infineon Raceway, Sonoma, Calif., event from its originally-scheduled date of May 5-7 to May 19-21 and the move of the Virginia International Raceway, Alton, Va., round up one week to Aug. 18-20. The total number of AMA Superbike races in the 11-event championship remains at 19, the highest ever. As part of a five-year agreement with Mid-Ohio, the AMA Superbike Shootout, as the season-ending event will be known, is scheduled for Sept. 29 Oct. 1, and will feature a unique format and points arrangement. While details have yet to be finalized, plans call for entries to be limited and a special points structure to be utilized. In addition to determining the AMA Superbike Champion, the Mid-Ohio finale will crown champions in each of the series’ support classes including AMA Supersport, Superstock and Formula Xtreme. “We are happy to bring an additional round of the AMA Superbike Championship to Mid-Ohio, said Scott Hollingsworth, AMA Pro Racing’s CEO. “Mid-Ohio is clearly a fan favorite and it makes sense to build on the success the track has established in its 23 years of hosting AMA Superbike events.” Mid-Ohio will continue to host an August Superbike doubleheader, the Honda Super Cycle Weekend presented by Dunlop Tire, in addition to the fall finale. The midsummer race was moved from its traditional date for 2006, but is set to return to July in 2007. “We didn’t want to simply add another AMA Superbike date to our calendar,” said Mid-Ohio President Michelle Trueman Gajoch. “We wanted to be part of something very special in the motorcycling community and with the urgency of the season finale and the unique format that is planned, we think we’ve accomplished that. We expect it to be one of the premier events in all of motorcycle racing.” Trueman Gajoch added that Mid-Ohio will continue with its comprehensive track improvement plans and that additional details are forthcoming. AMA Superbike Championship races at Mid-Ohio have traditionally been some of the best-attended on the AMA Pro Racing calendar. The track began hosting AMA nationals in 1983. AMA Pro Racing also announced that the Pikes Peak Raceway event in Fountain, Colo., has been officially removed from the schedule due to the sale and slated closure of the facility. As previously announced, AMA Pro Racing officials continue to discuss the disposition of that event with the new owners since the parties have a binding contract for 2006. Infineon Raceway requested that its event date be moved to the now open Pikes Peak date. The change improves the overall schedule by breaking up a stretch of three consecutive weekend events at the end of April and beginning of May. The schedule also creates a unique opportunity for racing fans to catch both an AMA Superbike event and AMA Motocross event over the course of a couple days. The Hangtown Classic, the first race of the 2006 AMA Motocross Championship presented by FMF will kick off on the same weekend In Sacramento, a relatively short drive from Sonoma. Hollingsworth pointed out that it would be possible to catch the Superbike action at Infineon Raceway on Saturday and then take in the Motocross action on Sunday. 2006 AMA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP PRESENTED BY PARTS UNLIMITED SCHEDULE March 8-11 Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, FL April 21-23 Barber Motorsports Park, Birmingham, AL (Superbike Doubleheader) April 28-30 California Speedway, Fontana, CA (Superbike Doubleheader) May 19-21 Infineon Raceway, Sonoma, CA (Superbike Doubleheader) June 2-4 Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI (Superbike Doubleheader) June 16-18 Miller Motorsports Park, Tooele, UT (Superbike Doubleheader) July 21-23 Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Monterey, CA ** August 4-6 Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Lexington, OH (Superbike Doubleheader) Aug. 18-20 Virginia International Raceway, Alton, VA (Superbike Doubleheader) Sept. 1-3 Road Atlanta, Braselton, GA (Superbike Doubleheader) Sept. 30-Oct. 1 Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Lexington, OH **AMA & Moto GP combined weekend Dates and Locations Subject to Change About AMA Pro Racing AMA Pro Racing is the leading sanctioning body for motorcycle sport in the United States.

Talladega Gran Prix Raceway To Be Closed Temporarily In 2006 Due To Road Construction

Talladega Gran Prix Raceway, a 1.35-mile road course for motorcycles and go-karts located near Talladega, Alabama will be closed during the second half of 2006 due to the widening of Highway 21, which borders the track property. According to co-owner David Upchurch, there currently is no exact date when the track will shut down as the Alabama Department of Transportation has given him no exact date it will begin widening Highway 21 from two lanes to four lanes at the track’s entrance. Upchurch said when he begins scheduling the 2006 season in December, he will not schedule any track rentals past mid-summer 2006. Upchurch plans to re-open the track on January 1, 2007. In addition to forcing the closure of the track, the highway widening will take away some of Talladega Gran Prix Raceway’s property and some of the run-off area of its fastest corners. As a result, the track will be re-configured while the highway construction takes place. Ed Bargy, the original designer of the 20-year-old track, has been working on the reconfiguration plans for at least two years, said Upchurch. “I think people will like the new version even better than the old,” said Upchurch, who said the track will remain approximately 1.35 miles in length.
