*750c Supersport entrant on 750cc Supersport machine

Munroe Motors, a San Francisco, California dealership known for sponsoring AMA Pro Thunder and Isle of Man racer Tom Montano, recently filled an order for 22 sidecar rigs built to look like a television set on wheels for a promotional campaign.

The machines were ordered by Seismicom.com, an advertising agency working for Ultimate TV, a new interactive television service from Microsoft. The promotional plan calls for riders, dressed in matching outfits, to ride the sidecars through major city centers, attracting attention for Ultimate TV.

Munroe Motors had three weeks to source, supply, build, and deliver the machines with sidecars, which were based on Royal Enfield 500cc Bullets built in India.

Anthony Gobert crashed his Yamaha YZF-R7 in the first half of the first Superbike qualifying session at New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire Friday afternoon.

The session was red-flagged and restarted after Gobert was transported to Concord Hospital for X-rays.

According to Yamaha Crew Chief Tom Houseworth, Gobert suffered a suspected broken right arm and a suspected hyperextended neck. But, Houseworth said, “everything works.”

Gobert crashed in turn eight, a fast right-hand kink in the back section of the course.

Doctors in the Infield Care Center at NHIS later reported that Gobert suffered a compound fracture of his right elbow.

But X-rays at the hospital revealed that Gobert had not broken his elbow, although bone was visible with the skin torn away, and that he did not have a hyperextended neck. But he did separate his shoulder.

Despite injurying a foot when he crashed during qualifying, Kawasaki Canada’s Owen Weichel took his first-ever Canadian Superbike win in a wet race at Race City Motorsports Park in Calgary, ALberta, Canada. Before his tumble, Weichel earned the pole position with a time of 1:17.847 on the 2.0-mile Race City circuit. Weichel’s crew was up until 3:00 a.m. in the morning repairing the Toronto rider’s crashed ZX-7RR, and Weichel rewarded them with a 5.348-second victory over Yamaha YZF-R6-mounted Jean-Francois Cyr. Riding three weeks after breaking his pelvis, Francis Martin placed third on a Suzuki GSX-R1000, while defending Canadian Superbike Champion Steve Crevier finished fourth on his Honda RC51.

After two of seven rounds complete, Weichel now leads the point standings over Crevier, 106 to 96.

Yamaha’s Frank Trombino and McBain had a terrific battle in the International Motorcycle Supershow Open Sport Bike final. Trombino and McBain battled down to the wire with Trombino, riding a YZF-R1, scoring the victory by 0.364-second ahead of McBain on a GSX-R1000. Honda’s Michael Taylor finished third on a CBR929RR.

The Parts Canada Superbike Championship is next in action 6/17-18 on the runways of Namao Airport in Edmonton, Alberta.

According to New Hampshire International Speedway Safety Director Jerry Wood, 35 pieces of Air Fence/ Alpina Air Module were installed at the track Wednesday, June 13.

“I went around with Hugh Fleming this morning and suggested the places that I thought it would best put, and that’s where they put it,” said Wood in a June 13 telephone call. “Then if Ron Barrick gets here and wants something moved around, we have an extra 400 haybales as well as that stuff. So we’ll be able to adjust it and make everybody happy. We sure do have a lot of Air Fence now.”

The new Air Fence sections are in addition to several permanent sections of Air Fence Bike barriers already purchased by the Speedway for use in Loudon club races. “The track bought a whole ton of the Air Fence Bike product, which is not portable. It lays in place,” said Wood. “It has proven to be really, really effective. You can absolutely drill that stuff, and you not only save the rider, but you save the bike. What normally happens is you pull the bike out of it and ride it off.”

When asked where the inflatable barriers are, Wood said, “There’s a bunch of it in turn two and a little in turn three. There’s a bunch in turn six. We have a high impact area there. Six is the big bowl turn at the bottom of the hill. There’s a place there if you might lose the front end. You’re going pretty fast there. We have a gravel trap, then we have the Air Fence Bike product behind the gravel trap, then we have the soft tire barriers behind that. The inside of the turn eight/nine combination, we’ve got it in there. Then going down the hill to turn 10, off to rider’s right, it’s all across there.

“I’m hoping that the AMA riders will feel more secure here,” said Wood, the father of two professional racers. “But of course, it’s a fact that we have not had any wall-related injuries since we re-designed the race track, not at a pro race or our club races. We just ran 1200 entries this last weekend. We have huge races. We have a money race, and the guys at the front of that were turning 1:12s, which is just a couple of seconds off the Superbike times at Loudon. We have a real good safety record. I’m real happy with it. That’s without the extra Air Fence. So with the extra Air Fence, we should be looking really good.”

When it starts raining at a racetrack, like it did at Road America, everyone starts thinking more about safety. In the past, AMA Pro racers have had strong reservations about racing in the rain at Loudon. “Gary Medley (Doug Chandler’s Kawasaki Crew Chief) told me that they had an AMA meeting at the last race, and that they were told that they were going to run here whether it rained or not,” disclosed Wood. “We also resurfaced the whole track with an abrasive compound. So we don’t have any slippery spots any more. There are no slippery patches. There’s a constant traction surface throughout the whole track.”

During the AMA National weekend June 15-17 at New Hampshire International Raceway in Loudon, New Hampshire, there will once again be a Jimmy Adamo Memorial race on the program to remember the late AMA Pro Twins racer, who died during the 1993 Daytona 200.

“We have such a strong road race following up here,” said Jerry Wood. “We have a place with everyone to race with the AMA with the 600, the 750, and all of that, but we don’t have a place for 125s and Sportsman bikes. That’s what the Jimmy Adamo Memorial Sportsman race is. It is CCS Sportsman bikes, all of them and 125s, because they do the same lap times here at Loudon. What it does, it gives all of our guys who are top Experts in our club a place to race at the national.”

The 10-lap race is open to Expert license holders from any club as long as they are an AMA member. The entry fee is $75, including post-entry, and a purse of $1500 will be paid out. “We are not letting any cherry pickers in,” laughed Wood. “We just put in that you can not have finished on the rostrum in any AMA or F-USA pro race in the preceding 12 months. Looking over the grid, that’s exactly what we’ve got.” Of the 37 riders already signed up for the race most are riding Suzuki SV650s and air-cooled, two-valve Ducatis although Singles, Aprilia RS250s, 125cc GP bikes, and machines with push-rod engines are also eligible.

After filling in for injured Matt Wait on the Synergy Racing Honda’s during the Formula USA round at Willow Springs in April, Lance Isaacs returned home to take his first-ever win in the South African Superbike Series, on May 27. Following a second-place finish in the first of two races, Isaacs got the better of a nine-bike battle and won in the second race at Western Cape Killarney.

A press release from Isaacs’ management company OMS LTD. quotes Isaacs as saying, “I am over the moon – winning in front of my home crowd was the best thing that could possibly happen. Coming back to South Africa after two years in the World Superbike arena was not easy, but I have learned an enormous amount from the whole Vodacom Nashua Yamaha team over the past few months. Now that I know that I can win here, and that will be the aim from now on.”

Isaacs will ride again in the next round of the 2001 Dark Dog South African Superbike Championship at East London Grand Prix circuit on June 23. Although it is called a “Superbike” Championship, South Africa’s premier series is a 600cc class. Riding a Yamaha YZF-R6 on Metzeler tires, Isaacs now sits third in the Championship points after his victory.

Isaacs is not scheduled to return to action for Synergy Racing here in America as Matt Wait has been cleared by doctors to resume his place on the team. According to Synergy Racing’s Bert Silos, the team is currently looking for additional sponsorship to keep Isaacs racing for Synergy for the rest of the year. Isaacs said that he would be happy to return and race in America if the opportunity arises.

Team Obsolete owner and AHRMA founder Rob Iannucci said June 12 that he was “amazed at the tone” of an AMA press release announcing that the organization has agreed to pay Roger Edmondson $3 million to settle Edmondson’s lawsuit against the AMA.

Iannucci said that he was amazed “given the fact that the courts made specific findings of fact that the AMA had acted wrongfully and maliciously. And that the management of the AMA has lightened the AMA’s treasury by apparently more than $4 million including their costs of litigation.”

Iannucci is currently involved in a lawsuit that he says is similar to the Edmondson suit, explaining “It’s similar in the sense that it accuses the AMA of predatory behavior.”

The AMA press release claimed that the organization has taken steps to avoid future problems, stating “Through this protracted litigation, the AMA’s trustees and staff have resolved to continue their work to protect the Association from situations like this….In today’s litigious climate, it’s virtually impossible to avoid lawsuits, but the Association has taken steps to guard against a recurrence.”

But, Iannucci said, “I just wonder exactly what steps they’ve taken to avoid similar litigation because over the past several years they have had several opportunities to avoid becoming defendants in a lawsuit brought by Team Obsolete, leaving us no choice but to go to the courts. And even now they are refusing to cooperate in accepting service of our summons and complaint voluntarily, requiring us to go through a more cumbersome procedure for serving them, which, ultimately, will cost them more money.”

Team Obsolete’s suit, filed in Federal District Court in Brooklyn, New York, names as defendants AMA, AHRMA, AHRMA attorney Ted Bendelow, AHRMA former Executive Director Jeff Smith (now an AMA Trustee), AHRMA current Executive Director Jack Turner, and several other individuals.

The complaint stems out of Iannucci and Team Obsolete being banned from AMA-sanctioned AHRMA races and the subsequent related loss of sponsorship revenue, along with other issues.

New donations have pushed the Roadracing World Air Fence Fund to $137,690 with new sections of Air Fence already on order for deployment at non-AMA events.

Several new donations came at Road America, where Roadracing World hosted an Air Fence signing for contributors to the fund. The Wegman Benefit Fund’s Gordon Lunde delivered another $950 to add to the $2900 already received, bringing the Wegman Benefit Fund’s total contribution to $3850. NITRO (Northern Illinois Touring and Riding Organization) donated $300 at Road America. James E. Schaefer and Kevin Hanson each donated $50 at Road America, while Rod Klebsch contributed $40. Dave Harrison, Jeff Harrison, and Sled/Cross each donated $20, and Becky Rechek kicked in $10.

Road America was the site of several spectacular crashes into Air Fence at the notorious kink, a crash site that usually results in very serious rider injury. In one dramatic crash, a 370-pound racebike hit the Air Fence, located less than 15 feet off the track surface, so hard that a buckle on a restraining strap failed and the Air Fence was moved out away from the barrier and onto the track. Yet the involved rider did not suffer serious injuries. All of which demonstrates that ultimately, the best way to improve rider safety is to use a combination of more run-off room plus Air Fence.

After Road America, Patrick Roskam/HangingOff.com made a very generous donation of $3000. Ed Robinson/Robinson Partners contributed $500, and Wayne Nielsen/sportbikeworld.com contributed $200. An additional $110 from members of the Texas Sportbike Association was received, bringing the total TSBA contribution to $260. Marcel Fortney sent $100, Harlan Weishahn sent $25, and John and Arlene Gerard sent $10 In Memory of Gordy Lunde Jr.

Patrick Roskam sent a note with his generous contribution, writing “Here’s a little something to help keep our racers alive. If only we could throw a few of these Air Fences up in the canyons, too. Thanks for looking out and for keeping us informed.”

Wayne Nielsen wrote, “I wanted to take this time to commend the valiant effort put forth by John Ulrich and Roadracing World. All road racers from club level to professional level own a debt of gratitude. Mr. Ulrich implemented a solution instead of just stating what was wrong, and for this we at Sportbike World dot com wish to thank you. We wish it could be more.”
