AMA Superbike Will Not Be On VIR’s 2005 Schedule, Will Be Replaced With CCS

Copyright 2004, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

Although the 2005 AMA Pro Racing schedule tentatively lists a season–ending Superbike event at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) for September 17-19, an AMA Superbike event will not be held at VIR in 2005 and the AMA’s date has been booked to CCS, according to a track official.

“The AMA is not on our schedule for next year,” VIR spokesman John Gardner told Roadracingworld.com Monday afternoon. “We have not officially released our schedule yet. We will do that after the New Year. The date the AMA had has been taken by CCS.”

Gardner referred further questions to VIR General Manager Cal Frye, who was not immediately available.

Attempts to reach AMA Pro Racing Vice President, Director of Communications Kerry Graeber were unsuccessful at post time.

VIR has been a popular venue with AMA teams, riders and spectators since it joined the AMA series in 2001, but race postponements in 2003 and 2004 strained relations between the track and the sanctioning body.

If the situation with VIR does not get resolved, the 2005 AMA Superbike series could have only 10 dates. With the AMA event at Brainerd International Raceway (June 25-26, 2005) also listed as tentative and the recent announcement that not all AMA support classes will run at the AMA Superbike/MotoGP event at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (July 8-10, 2005), some AMA classes could race only eight times in 2005.

Palazzo Wins Overall WSMC Championship

0

Copyright 2004, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

Marc Palazzo officially took possession of the 2004 overall WSMC Championship and the 2005 Number One plate that goes with it at the organization’s season finale, Sunday at Willow Springs Raceway.

It was a rare perfect weekend in California’s high desert, with highs in the 70s and no wind, quite a contrast to the November WSMC weekend’s freezing temperatures and snow flurries.

Will Eikenbery finished second in the title chase even though he won more races than Palazzo on the weekend. Eikenberry traded the overall points lead with Palazzo during the season–with both suffering through injuries–but was behind in points coming into this weekend.

Eikenberry used his California Superbike School Kawasaki 636 to win the Formula 40 race from TZ250-mounted Mark Watts, the 650cc Superbike race from GSX-R600 rider Chris Peris and Palazzo, the Formula 2 race from Watts and the 750cc Modified Production race from Skye Girard and his GSX-R750. Jacob West used his GSX-R750 to beat Eikenberry in the 750cc Superstock race.

Peris beat West to win the 750cc Superbike race, in a GSX-R750 battle.

Palazzo won a single race on his Yamaha YZF-R6, 600cc Modified Production, beating dirt tracker Mickey Lane on another Yamaha.

Robbie Dowie rode to a conservative, nervous seventh to clinch the Toyota Cup Unlimited F-1 Championship on his GSX-R1000 Superbike, beating race winner Jeremy Toye to the title by a few points. Jason Perez was second in the race, ahead of outgoing WSMC Overall Champion Jeff Stern.

Dowie won the Open Modified Production race from Chris Ulrich and his Superstock-spec GSX-R1000.

Perez beat Toye and Dowie in the Open Superbike race, beat Premek Glinz in the Open Superstock race, and beat Peris and Palazzo in the 600cc Superstock race.

Wes Totsubo beat John Ulrich and Joji Tokumoto to win the Roadracingworld.com 250cc GP race, while usual 250cc GP winner Watts tried his hand in the 125cc GP race–run as a second wave–and won.

FPR’s Martin Gets Speeding Ticket While On Charity Ride In Australia

0

From a press release issued by Foggy Petronas Racing:

Christmas came early for some lucky Aussie kids thanks to new FPR man Steve Martin.

Steve, back at his Melbourne home for Xmas, took part in an annual Toy Run with local over-50s bikers club, Ulysses.

He explained: “They do it every year and the idea is that everyone carries a present on the back of their bike. I rode down, from Frankston down the Mornington Peninsula, with Sandra on the back and she chose our present – a Barbie doll! The toys are distributed to local kids where we stop off.”

Steve, who copped a speeding ticket on the drive over from Melbourne, has also been busy helping his mum move house in Adelaide. He said: “I’ve been flat out doing all the niggly little jobs like putting shelves up.”

After all his work for others he was looking forward to the delivery of a new KTM enduro bike this weekend.

2003 World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson tested a Dunlop-shod Ducati 999 Superbike December 16-17 at Jerez, Spain, in preparation for his 2005 AMA Superbike season with Parts Unlimited Ducati Austin.

Hodgson will next test, with his new teammate Eric Bostrom, January 3-5, 2005, at Daytona International Speedway.

The 2005 Fila Ducati factory World Superbike team of Regis Laconi and James Toseland, the 2004 World Superbike Champion, also attended the test, their last until official World Superbike testing resumes in February 2005.

Ducati Corse test rider Vittoriano Guareschi continued his work on a “development” version of the Desmosedici MotoGP bike, according to Ducati.

Guareschi is not subject to the MotoGP winter testing ban because neither he nor his Desmosedici race at MotoGP events.

The MotoGP winter test ban ends January 20, 2005.

Nicholls added that the pedestrian bridge at turn 9 is scheduled to be moved December 23.

AMA Superbike Will Not Be On VIR’s 2005 Schedule, Will Be Replaced With CCS

Copyright 2004, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

Although the 2005 AMA Pro Racing schedule tentatively lists a season–ending Superbike event at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) for September 17-19, an AMA Superbike event will not be held at VIR in 2005 and the AMA’s date has been booked to CCS, according to a track official.

“The AMA is not on our schedule for next year,” VIR spokesman John Gardner told Roadracingworld.com Monday afternoon. “We have not officially released our schedule yet. We will do that after the New Year. The date the AMA had has been taken by CCS.”

Gardner referred further questions to VIR General Manager Cal Frye, who was not immediately available.

Attempts to reach AMA Pro Racing Vice President, Director of Communications Kerry Graeber were unsuccessful at post time.

VIR has been a popular venue with AMA teams, riders and spectators since it joined the AMA series in 2001, but race postponements in 2003 and 2004 strained relations between the track and the sanctioning body.

If the situation with VIR does not get resolved, the 2005 AMA Superbike series could have only 10 dates. With the AMA event at Brainerd International Raceway (June 25-26, 2005) also listed as tentative and the recent announcement that not all AMA support classes will run at the AMA Superbike/MotoGP event at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (July 8-10, 2005), some AMA classes could race only eight times in 2005.

Palazzo Wins Overall WSMC Championship

Copyright 2004, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

Marc Palazzo officially took possession of the 2004 overall WSMC Championship and the 2005 Number One plate that goes with it at the organization’s season finale, Sunday at Willow Springs Raceway.

It was a rare perfect weekend in California’s high desert, with highs in the 70s and no wind, quite a contrast to the November WSMC weekend’s freezing temperatures and snow flurries.

Will Eikenbery finished second in the title chase even though he won more races than Palazzo on the weekend. Eikenberry traded the overall points lead with Palazzo during the season–with both suffering through injuries–but was behind in points coming into this weekend.

Eikenberry used his California Superbike School Kawasaki 636 to win the Formula 40 race from TZ250-mounted Mark Watts, the 650cc Superbike race from GSX-R600 rider Chris Peris and Palazzo, the Formula 2 race from Watts and the 750cc Modified Production race from Skye Girard and his GSX-R750. Jacob West used his GSX-R750 to beat Eikenberry in the 750cc Superstock race.

Peris beat West to win the 750cc Superbike race, in a GSX-R750 battle.

Palazzo won a single race on his Yamaha YZF-R6, 600cc Modified Production, beating dirt tracker Mickey Lane on another Yamaha.

Robbie Dowie rode to a conservative, nervous seventh to clinch the Toyota Cup Unlimited F-1 Championship on his GSX-R1000 Superbike, beating race winner Jeremy Toye to the title by a few points. Jason Perez was second in the race, ahead of outgoing WSMC Overall Champion Jeff Stern.

Dowie won the Open Modified Production race from Chris Ulrich and his Superstock-spec GSX-R1000.

Perez beat Toye and Dowie in the Open Superbike race, beat Premek Glinz in the Open Superstock race, and beat Peris and Palazzo in the 600cc Superstock race.

Wes Totsubo beat John Ulrich and Joji Tokumoto to win the Roadracingworld.com 250cc GP race, while usual 250cc GP winner Watts tried his hand in the 125cc GP race–run as a second wave–and won.

FPR’s Martin Gets Speeding Ticket While On Charity Ride In Australia

From a press release issued by Foggy Petronas Racing:

Christmas came early for some lucky Aussie kids thanks to new FPR man Steve Martin.

Steve, back at his Melbourne home for Xmas, took part in an annual Toy Run with local over-50s bikers club, Ulysses.

He explained: “They do it every year and the idea is that everyone carries a present on the back of their bike. I rode down, from Frankston down the Mornington Peninsula, with Sandra on the back and she chose our present – a Barbie doll! The toys are distributed to local kids where we stop off.”

Steve, who copped a speeding ticket on the drive over from Melbourne, has also been busy helping his mum move house in Adelaide. He said: “I’ve been flat out doing all the niggly little jobs like putting shelves up.”

After all his work for others he was looking forward to the delivery of a new KTM enduro bike this weekend.

2003 World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson tested a Dunlop-shod Ducati 999 Superbike December 16-17 at Jerez, Spain, in preparation for his 2005 AMA Superbike season with Parts Unlimited Ducati Austin.

Hodgson will next test, with his new teammate Eric Bostrom, January 3-5, 2005, at Daytona International Speedway.

The 2005 Fila Ducati factory World Superbike team of Regis Laconi and James Toseland, the 2004 World Superbike Champion, also attended the test, their last until official World Superbike testing resumes in February 2005.

Ducati Corse test rider Vittoriano Guareschi continued his work on a “development” version of the Desmosedici MotoGP bike, according to Ducati.

Guareschi is not subject to the MotoGP winter testing ban because neither he nor his Desmosedici race at MotoGP events.

The MotoGP winter test ban ends January 20, 2005.
