Hayden’s Daytona 200 Win A Dream Come True

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., (Feb. 19, 2003) — Last March, Nicky Hayden turned Daytona International Speedway’s 3.56-mile road course into his personal playground.

Hayden, riding the No. 69 American Honda RC51, held off an early challenge from Kurtis Roberts and dominated the 61st Daytona 200 By Arai, pulling off an 18.225-second victory.

For Hayden, it was only his third start in the prestigious motorcycle race and at the age of 20, he became the youngest winner of the race since 1976.

“It was huge to be honest with you,” said Hayden when he visited the Speedway last August for a Dunlop tire test. “Being an American kid, this was the race we grew up hearing about. This was the one you use to lay in bed and think about.”

Hayden won’t be defending his Daytona 200 By Arai title after opting to compete overseas for Honda in 2003. But he looks back at his Daytona 200 victory as the spark that led to him to his first AMA U.S. Superbike championship.

“I felt like when we left here we were really in the position,” Hayden said. “We were setting the tone. We were the people to beat for the rest of the year. Mat (Mladin) had trouble. He had been the guy, but he didn’t have a good weekend. It established us as the people to beat.”

Hayden established himself as one of the pre-race favorites during the qualifying session when he blistered a record lap of 1:47.174 (119.581 mph) and captured the pole and the Rolex watch.

Of course, Hayden wanted to post an even faster lap. He ducked into the pits, put on some fresh tires and soared back onto the track only to highside entering the chicane.

He was uninjured, but the incident put a damper on his day.

“The guy (EMT) asked me what day it was and I told him, ‘Up to now it was the best day of my life,'” Hayden said at the time of the accident.

Looking back at the accident, Hayden said the worse thing was that he lost his primary motorcycle for the weekend.

“At first I was pretty lucky to be OK,” Hayden said. “I hit the ground pretty hard. The next day, I didn’t really get much warm up. The first practice was pretty much a throw way. I didn’t feel good at all. But after that, I settled down and felt a lot better. It pretty much eliminated one of our bikes.”

Rounding out the podium was Yoshimura Suzuki’s Jamie Hacking and Yamaha’s Anthony Gobert. Hacking nipped Gobert at the start/finish line for second. With his win in 2002, Hayden earned Honda’s eighth Daytona 200 victory and its first since 1996. Hayden also became the first American to win the Daytona 200 since Scott Russell in 1998.

What will happen at this year’s Daytona 200 By Arai on March 9? How will the Bostrom brothers fare? Will Mat Mladin return to his glory with a third Daytona 200 win? Can Miguel Duhamel win a fourth Daytona 200? Or can Kurtis Roberts tame Daytona for his first triumph?

Kawasaki’s Eric Bostrom recorded the fastest lap time during AMA team testing Wednesday at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California. After testing a ZX-6RR Tuesday, Bostrom lapped the rolling 2.2-mile road course at 1:27.16 on his big-bore ZX-7RR Superbike in cold and windy conditions Wednesday afternoon.

Bostrom led all times at the last test session at Laguna Seca, held on January 23, with a 1:26.215 on the 750cc version of his Kawasaki Superbike.

The second day of the multi-day, multi-team test at Laguna Seca started with rain, which limited riders to about 2.5 hours of track time in the afternoon, while other riders and teams packed up and went home without making any laps Wednesday.

Attack Suzuki skipped Tuesday, arrived at the track Wednesday morning, unloaded, then re-loaded their truck and went back to their shop. Defending AMA Formula Xtreme Champion Jason Pridmore told Roadracingworld.com that he felt he could accomplish nothing even if the rain stopped, which it did around noon local time. Pridmore’s teammate Josh Hayes was also in attendance but did not ride, while Attack Suzuki’s newly announced development rider Danny Eslick did not attend the test.

Yoshimura Suzuki planned to finish testing Wednesday, but decided to leave early due to the rain. In better conditions on Tuesday, Mat Mladin recorded a 1:26.4 during his first day with his new GSX-R1000 Superbike at the Laguna circuit. Mladin qualified at 1:26.553 on his GSX-R750 for the 2002 AMA Superbike race at Laguna Seca.

Mladin’s teammates Aaron Yates and Ben Spies weren’t quite as successful, recording a 1:28.1 and 1:28.2, respectively, on their GSX-R1000 Superbikes Tuesday.

Yoshimura Suzuki did not bring Yates’ and Spies’ GSX-R600 Supersport bikes to Laguna.

Yamaha’s factory Supersport truck left after team riders Jamie Hacking, Damon Buckmaster, Aaron Gobert and Jason DiSalvo tested their YZF-R6s at the Monterey track for the second time this off-season on Tuesday. DiSalvo, who will only race a YZF-R6 in 2003, continued to ride his 600 Wednesday and nearly equaled his best lap times in the less-than-ideal conditions.

Meanwhile, DiSalvo’s teammates moved on to testing their Graves Motorsports YZF-R1-based Formula Xtreme machines. Hacking’s 1:28.4 was the fastest Formula Xtreme lap time, the second-fastest overall time for Wednesday and only slightly slower than Jake Zemke’s 1:27.808 from a January test of his CBR954RR FX bike at Laguna.

Bruce Transportation Group Honda’s Marty Craggill planned to test his CBR600RR and CBR954RR for two days at Laguna Seca, but a recurring pinched nerve problem in Craggill’s neck sidelined him after just a few laps on Tuesday. The Bruce team left the track Tuesday night.

Annandale Honda’s Ty Howard and Craig Connell were also at Laguna Seca testing their CBR600RRs and trying their CBR954RR Formula Xtreme bikes for the first time away from team headquarters at the Motorsport Ranch racetrack outside of Fort Worth, Texas. Connell spent more time in the pits than on the track Wednesday.

Bostrom’s teammates Tommy Hayden and Tony Meiring continued to test their Kawasaki ZX-6RRs but did not match the testing pace set by Yamaha’s Supersport riders.

Hayden crashed and suffered a concussion during testing at Laguna Seca on January 21 and missed two important days of testing at the challenging track.

So far this off-season, rain and/or wind has inhibited tests at Daytona International Speedway, Laguna Seca and twice at California Speedway.

HONDA RACING INFORMATION

HRC MotoGP winter test Sepang. February 19, 2003.

Kato and Rossi set the Pace at Sepang

The second of the two HRC winter tests scheduled for the Sepang circuit, Malaysia got underway today with all Honda MotoGP teams and riders taking part aboard RC211V five-cylinder Honda four-strokes. Reigning MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi, Repsol Honda, and Telefonica MoviStar Honda Gresini rider, Daijiro Kato, set the pace on the first day of the two-day test.

Rossi, and his American teammate, AMA Superbike Champion Nicky Hayden, tested the latest version of the RC211V HRC brought to Sepang and both men were delighted with machine development in the short period between test sessions. Rossi completed 61 laps of the circuit while Hayden put in an astonishing 84 laps!

Valentino Rossi: “Today was the first day on the new 2003 bike and it went well. Our main goal was to set the bike up and not go for the best time. I am happy with the feel of the machine and much of the work we did here at Sepang a month ago testing components has been of good benefit on the new bike. The weather here is good and I’m looking forward to another good day tomorrow.”

Nicky Hayden: “Had another tough day here really doing some laps. We’re on the new bike, which feels good; better than last year’s model we tested last time we were here. Everything feels real tight on it and I’m feeling more comfortable on it as well. I guess things are getting there. I’m just trying real hard to be where I need to be. There are a few corners where I’m struggling a little – I got one more day here, then we’re off to Phillip Island, which I’m really looking forward to. I’ve heard the place is awesome!”

The Telefonica MoviStar Honda Gresini team was very visible at Sepang and it was team leader Daijiro Kato who set the benchmark for the day. The diminutive Japanese rider was in sparkling form circulating the 5.548km circuit in 2:03.08 on the new RCV.

Daijiro Kato: “I’m very happy with what we did here today. We tried different riding solutions and settings with the new bike and I immediately felt the difference, and I was much faster. This has given me a real boost for the remaining tests.”

Spaniard Sete Gibernau was a busy man at Sepang. Gibernau was in and out of the pit box all day as the team tested a host of machine settings on his RC211V. They are now confident tomorrow will be more significant for Gibernau.

Sete Gibernau: “I am very satisfied with today’s results: the lap timing is the same as that of the third day of January’s test here in Malaysia. I do regret having lost plenty of time in the boxes today, but I am very determined to improve my position tomorrow.”

Max Biaggi, Camel Pramac Honda, worked tirelessly on finding machine settings to match the range of tyres Michelin had brought to Sepang for him to test.

Max Biaggi. “I tested a variety of alternative machine settings today and have some positive feed-back. Michelin had so many tyres for us to test that I put in 70 laps. I was happy with the progress Michelin have made with the tyres since we were testing here a month ago, and I was pleased with the times I set.”

Biaggi’s teammate, Japanese star Tohru Ukawa, made his first acquaintance with the new RCV and spent the day setting the machine to suit his riding style.

Tohru Ukawa: “I’m very satisfied to be back riding again, especially as we have the new RC211V here. Today I concentrated my time on finding a comfortable riding position and testing tyres. Now I feel good on the bike I’m really looking forward to tomorrow.”

The Pramac Honda team continued their winter tests at Sepang concentrating on Bridgestone tyre development work. Team rider Makoto Tamada, and development rider Shinichi Itoh, put in a combined total of over 120 laps evaluating tyres developed from data gathered at the at the same track one month ago. Both riders confirmed a definite improvement in performance.

Makoto Tamada. “I’m much better at this track now, much more comfortable. I am also starting to understand the bike, and the Bridgestone tyres. Bridgestone have made a lot of progress in the short time they have had to work on development since the last test here at Sepang. Some of the tyres have really improved. I ran a 2:05 lap time on race tyres so we are happy with that.”

Shinichi Itoh. “I was struggling a little to find the best set up today to test the new tyres Bridgestone brought us. But in the end I got close to Tamada Sans time so I’m confident we will improve tomorrow.”

Daijiro Kato, JPN, Telefonica MoviStar Honda Gresini, 2:03.08 (60+ laps)

AMA Acts To End Health-Care Bias Against Riders

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — Following intense efforts by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), legislation has been introduced in Congress to end health-care discrimination against motorcyclists.

In the ’90s, Congress passed a law meant to bar employers from refusing to cover motorcycle-related injuries in the health-care coverage they offer employees. But federal bureaucrats reversed that law, writing rules to allow health-insurance discrimination against motorcyclists and others who engage in legal activities like skiing, snowmobiling, ATV riding or horseback riding. This new legislation would correct that action.

The bill, introduced by U.S. Sens. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) on February 14, would “promote health-care coverage parity for individuals participating in legal recreational activities or legal transportation activities.”

Specifically, the bill states that “a plan or issuer may not deny benefits otherwise provided for the treatment of any injury solely because such injury resulted from participation of the participant or beneficiary in an activity such as motorcycling, snowmobiling, all-terrain vehicle riding, horseback riding, skiing or other similar legal activity.”

Those words came out of meetings between aides for the senators and the AMA’s team in Washington, D.C., that also included officials of the Motorcycle Riders Foundation. The bill also has the endorsement of the All-Terrain Vehicle Association, the American Horse Council and the American Snowmobilers Association, among others.

Ed Moreland, AMA vice president for government relations, said the threat of losing health-care benefits is enormous.

“Medical bills from an accident can easily total tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars,” he said. “Without insurance, that can amount to a devastating blow to any rider.”

Riders and others who want to end this type of insurance discrimination are urged to send letters to their federal lawmakers asking them to support the Feingold-Collins bill. An easy way to send your message is to use the AMA Rapid Response Center at www.AMADirectlink.com.

“We succeeded in this effort years ago, only to see our efforts reversed by federal agencies,” Moreland said. “Now, we have a second chance to protect all motorcyclists from health-insurance discrimination. We need to take advantage of this opportunity.”

Rick Shaw Closes In On Daytona 200 Mileage Record

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.,(Feb. 18, 2003) — One rider will celebrate a victory in the Daytona 200 By Arai on March 9 after the conclusion of the 57-lap event at Daytona International Speedway.

Rick Shaw hopes to celebrate breaking a major record in the Daytona 200 By Arai after Lap 2.

Shaw, a police officer from Miami, Fla., needs to complete only two laps during the March 9 Daytona 200 By Arai to eclipse the mile completed mark of 3,187 set by Warren Sherwood. Shaw currently stands at 3,180 miles.

“The record has stood for such a long time and it represents the pioneers of the sport and to be included and recognized with the pioneers of the sport, to me there’s a lot of pride in that,” Shaw said. “To do this as long as I’ve done it — it takes a lot of time and effort and a lot of help from a lot of people.”

The major roadblock standing in the way of the record for Shaw is the Daytona 200 By Arai qualifying session on March 6.

It’ll be no easy task for Shaw to crack the field for the Daytona 200. He’s a privateer running on a shoestring budget against top factory teams.

“There’s always a concern,” Shaw said. “You have to be within a certain (speed) percentage of the (factory) Superbikes. These Superbikes have raised the bar so high, it’s made it difficult for privateers to compete.

“The factory Hondas are putting 175 or 180 horsepower down on the track and we’re sitting around running around with 135 or 140. It’s bad enough that they are getting special qualifying tires and running special qualifying motors and everything else. They make the bar so high, it’s difficult for a privateer to make the grid anymore. Qualifying is a major issue.”

Shaw has spent the months leading up to the Daytona 200 working on sponsorship opportunities that will allow him to purchase a new motorcycle.

“We are going to have to have state of the art stuff,” Shaw said.

Shaw says he first competed at Daytona in 1974 and made his first Daytona 200 By Arai start in 1981. Through the years Shaw has fallen in love with the heritage of the Speedway, which makes the record a special moment in his life.

“Daytona epitomizes the center of speed,” said Shaw, whose best finish in the Daytona 200 was 18th in 1985. “It still does. You can say what you want about all these other tracks. They have a different tradition. Daytona International Speedway has its tradition and I’m going to be part of that tradition.”

Tickets to the Daytona 200 By Arai are available online at http://www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com or by calling the Speedway ticket office at (386) 253-7223.
