Parkhurst Book Collection Donated To AMA Museum

The following is a press release issued by the AMA:

The American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation is pleased to announce the donation of 114 motorcycling books from the estate of Joe Parkhurst. The books will be housed in the archives of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in Pickerington, Ohio.

Parkhurst, who died last December at the age of 74, was the founder and original publisher of Cycle World magazine. In recognition of his contributions to motorcycling, Parkhurst is part of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame’s 2001 class of enshrinees.

“We’re honored that Joe Parkhurst remembered us with this gift,” said Mark Mederski, Executive Director of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. “These books are an important addition to our archives — especially coming from Joe, who gave so much to motorcycling.”

The Parkhurst collection spans the spectrum of motorcycling topics–from road riding to racing, from maintenance to vintage machines. It includes
English-language titles published in the United States, Great Britain, and New Zealand, as well as several foreign-language books in French, Italian, and German. Publication dates range from 1947 to 1995.

The 2001 Motorcycle Hall of Fame class will be inducted during ceremonies September 8 at the Museum. The ceremony, and a reception the night before, will be open to the public.

Judge’s Ruling On AMA vs. Edmondson Retrial Sets Stage For AMA Armageddon

Judge’s Ruling On AMA vs. Edmondson Retrial Sets Stage For AMA Armageddon

A Federal Court Judge has issued a ruling setting the ground rules for the AMA vs. Edmondson retrial and even the most optimistic of AMA supporters will have a hard time finding any hope of vindication in the case.

Judge Lacy H. Thornburg has ruled that the jury in the retrial will determine what damages (how much money) Edmondson is due, with the guilt of the AMA already established as a given. While Edmondson’s lawyers will be allowed to present virtually their entire case regarding the damages he suffered when the AMA unilaterally took over a joint venture established between the AMA and Edmondson, the AMA lawyers will not be allowed to offer any mitigating evidence or claims of innocence.

The retrial is tentatively set to start July 9 in Asheville, North Carolina and will be open to the public, including any AMA members who want to see for themselves how the actual court proceedings compare to AMA press releases on the matter.

In his ruling, Thornburg stated that the issues the jury will decide are as follows:

A. Plaintiff’s Claim For Conversion:

1. Did the Plaintiff bring tangible business assets to the 1994 joint venture with the Defendants?

2. Did the Defendants AMA and Paradama convert any of those tangible business assets brought to the 1994 joint venture by the Plaintiff?

3. What amount of damages, if any, is the Plaintiff entitled to recover of the Defendants for the conversion of tangible business assets brought to the 1994 joint venture?


B. Plaintiff’s Claim For Unfair Competition:

1. What amount of damages, if any, is the Plaintiff entitled to recover of the Defendants as a result of the following:

a. The Defendants’ conversion of the Plaintiff’s mailing list?

b. The Defendants’ assertion of control over the Plaintiff’s interest in the 1994 joint venture and/or exclusion of him from the business, including damages, if any, flowing from Edmondson’s loss of intangible business assets such as business expectancies and good will?

c. The Defendants’ misrepresentation to the Plaintiff of their intentions to purchase his interest in the joint venture?

d. The Defendants’ marketing and promotion of professional motorcycle races in 1995 and/or thereafter as if those races were the same product which had been produced by the joint venture?

e. The Defendants’ marketing and promotion of professional motorcycle races in 1995 and/or thereafter as if those races were a continuation of the series operated by the joint venture prior to 1995?

f. The Defendants’ interference with any contractual right of the Plaintiff when he was attempting to carry on his new motorcycle racing business?

g. The Defendants’ interference with any prospective contractual rights of the Plaintiff when he was attempting to carry on his new motorcycle racing business?


C. The Plaintiff’s Claim For Punitive Damages:

1. What amount of punitive damages, if any, does the jury in its discretion award the Plaintiff for the following?

a. The conversion by Defendants AMA and Paradama of the Plaintiff’s mailing list:
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

b. The Defendants’ wrongful interference with a contract right between the Plaintiff and Mid-Ohio Race Track for 1995:
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

c. The Defendants’ wrongful interference with a contact right between the Plaintiff and Brainerd Race Track for 1995:
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

d. The Defendants’ wrongful interference with a contract right between the Plaintiff and Road America Race Track for 1995:
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

e. The Defendants’ conversion of tangible business assets brought to the 1994 joint venture by the Plaintiff:
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

f. The Defendants’ assertion of control over the Plaintiff’s business interest in the 1994 joint venture and/or exclusion of him from the business, including damages, if any, flowing from Edmondson’s loss of intangible business assets such as business expectancies and good will?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

g. The Defendants’ misrepresentation to the Plaintiff of their intention to purchase his interest in the joint venture?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

h. The Defendants’ marketing and promotion of professional motorcycle races in 1995 and/or thereafter as if those races were the same product which had been produced by the joint venture?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

i. The Defendants’ marketing and promotion of professional motorcycle races in 1995 and/or thereafter as if those races were a continuation of the series operated by the joint venture prior to 1995?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

j. The Defendants’ interference with any contractual right of the Plaintiff when he was attem;ting to carry on his new motorcycle racing business?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

k. The Defendants’ interference with any prospective contractual right of the Plaintiff when he was attempting to carry on his new motorcycle racing business?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?


Some AMA sources have claimed the retrial will vindicate the AMA and result in a damage award far smaller than the award in the original trial. If that is the case, Roadracing World will report that as fact. But as a handy tip, don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen. Our prediction as the only media source to attend the original trial and the appeal, is that the AMA will end up being forced to pay Roger Edmondson far in excess of $3 million. Our hunch is that the magic number will be around $7 million. Stay tuned to see what actually happens.

A CRA Racer Puts It All In Perspective After His Father Suffers A Massive Heart Attack During A Race Weekend

This letter is to all racers out there who (like me) get wrapped up in some of the trivial B.S. involved in a race weekend and get stressed out. The weather sucks, my tires suck, that racer is a pin-head, etc. Remember to not worry about the small stuff, and it is ALL small stuff. Just enjoy yourself and be focused. After arriving at BIR for the opening weekend, unloading, setting up the camper, etc., I find a message on my cell phone at 11:00 p.m. that my Dad has had a massive heart attack. Not knowing any details, very tired and being three hours from home, I talked, prayed and talked to other family members to get information on his condition before making a move. The last word from my Uncle at 12:30 a.m. was that the nurse said he was “okay” considering what had happened. He had stents put in his heart arteries and was under heavy medication and resting. I decided to wait until morning and lay by the phone… I drove down the next day with my son after a day of non-enthusiastic practice. I tried to explain to my Mom that packing everything up and driving down the night before would be a 4-hour minimum job and in all truth, there was nothing for any of us to do but pray, because we are not the ones in control…only God is. Standing around wringing our hands and making each other goulash and bars was not going to make my Dad any better. After all was done and said while I was there, I returned to BIR with my son contemplating some of the things my mother said to me. I had a lot of supportive people in the CRA praying for and with me for my Dad, many in the CRA family came up to me and told me that he was in their thoughts and prayers…it gave me incredible strength! I decided to keep monitoring the phone, but to dedicate all races to my Dad and thank God for all the opportunities I’ve had with him. I then proceeded to black out all of the dumb, trivial bullshit that I usually stress about and just focus on racing in my Dad’s honor. As I raced, I had three people on that bike…this accounted for me scoring five times as many points in one weekend as I had the entire previous year. The only downfall was trying to see through all the tears as I crossed the finish line in my last race. The strength of all the prayers from my family and my CRA family had not only helped put my Dad on the road to recovery, but filled me with so much strength and focus, I could have done anything (except for the fact that I had a horrible start in the SuperTwins race…). Thank you to all of you in the CRA who were there for us, your thoughts and prayers meant more to me than you’ll ever know. S.C. Pittman #228 CRA Rosemount, Minnesota

FIM Dope Tests Find Metabolite In One Racer, But Barnes Passes Alcohol Testing No Problem

According to a press release issued by the FIM, random urine tests for the presence of drugs conducted during the World Endurance Championship weekend May 5-6 at Brno, Czech Republic caught Swiss rider Herbert Graf with “a concentration of 32 ng/ml of metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol, which is above the maximum tolerated conentration of 15 ng/ml. Mr. Graf did not ask for a counter-test with the B sample.”

According to the same press release, “All the other samples tested showed the absence of any banned substances.”

The press release also revealed the results of alcohol tests, and stated “All the alcohol controls were negative. The riders controlled were: Olivier Four (FRA), Michael Barnes (USA), Thierry Paillot (FRA), Igor Jerman (SLO), Heinz Platacis (AUS), Thorsten Wernke (GER).”

Junge Sets New Track Record Again In WERA National Challenge At Putnam

Vesrah Suzuki’s Mark Junge broke his own lap record at Putnam Park Road Course in Mt. Meridian, Indiana Sunday, during WERA National Challenge Series spring action. Junge’s existing lap record was 1:11.001, but in winning the Open Superstock race Junge broke the record on nearly every lap and finally set the new mark at 1:10.478 on his GSX-R1000 with Metzeler DOT-labeled tires. Arclight Suzuki’s Scott Harwell finished second Team Xtreme/Pennzoil’s Wade Buffington was third.

Vesrah Suzuki’s Glenn Szarek beat Harwell to win the Heavyweight Twins race on a TL1000R, and Szarek ran away in the 750cc Superstock final with best lap at 1:10.6 on a GSX-R750. Like Junge, Szarek uses Metzeler tires.

Chris “Opie” Caylor beat Junge in 600cc Superstock and Paramount Racing’s Joe Temperato was third, all three on GSX-R600 Suzukis on Metzeler tires.

Team Outa Sight’s Jason Peters won both the 125cc Grand Prix and the two-strokes-only Formula Two races by large margins on his Dunlop slick-equipped Honda RS125.

The day ended with Twowheelsales.com’s Tim Bemisderfer winning the Formula One race on his Dunlop DOT-shod GSX-R1000. Bemisderfer was the last man standing in a race filled with crashes and off-track excursions.

Air Fence Signing Scheduled For 6:00 p.m. Friday June 8 At Road America

Contributors to the Roadracing World Air Fence Fund are invited to autograph a new section of Air Fence at 6:00 p.m. Friday June 8 in the turn five area at Road America.

The signing will take place immediately after a 5:00 p.m. birthday party and reception celebrating the 25th anniversary of AMA Superbike, hosted by Road America, complete with cake. Air Fence Fund contributors are also invited to the birthday party and reception.

The birthday party and gathering of Air Fence contributors will take place under a large tent in the turn five area. If the weather is clear, contributors will be escorted to a section of Air Fence installed on-track in turn five. If it is raining, a section of Air Fence will be brought under the tent for contributors to sign. Markers will be provided.

The Air Fence signing will be hosted by Roadracing World’s John Ulrich, who will have an up-to-date list of contributors on hand. Donations to the Roadracing World Air Fence will also be accepted on site.

Parkhurst Book Collection Donated To AMA Museum

The following is a press release issued by the AMA:

The American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation is pleased to announce the donation of 114 motorcycling books from the estate of Joe Parkhurst. The books will be housed in the archives of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in Pickerington, Ohio.

Parkhurst, who died last December at the age of 74, was the founder and original publisher of Cycle World magazine. In recognition of his contributions to motorcycling, Parkhurst is part of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame’s 2001 class of enshrinees.

“We’re honored that Joe Parkhurst remembered us with this gift,” said Mark Mederski, Executive Director of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. “These books are an important addition to our archives — especially coming from Joe, who gave so much to motorcycling.”

The Parkhurst collection spans the spectrum of motorcycling topics–from road riding to racing, from maintenance to vintage machines. It includes
English-language titles published in the United States, Great Britain, and New Zealand, as well as several foreign-language books in French, Italian, and German. Publication dates range from 1947 to 1995.

The 2001 Motorcycle Hall of Fame class will be inducted during ceremonies September 8 at the Museum. The ceremony, and a reception the night before, will be open to the public.

Volunteers Needed To Help Set Up Air Fence At Road America

Volunteers are needed to help set up 35 sections of Air Fence at Road America today, Wednesday, June 6, starting at 5:00 p.m.

Volunteers can sign up by seeing the AMA’s Hugh Fleming at Road America.

Judge’s Ruling On AMA vs. Edmondson Retrial Sets Stage For AMA Armageddon

A Federal Court Judge has issued a ruling setting the ground rules for the AMA vs. Edmondson retrial and even the most optimistic of AMA supporters will have a hard time finding any hope of vindication in the case.

Judge Lacy H. Thornburg has ruled that the jury in the retrial will determine what damages (how much money) Edmondson is due, with the guilt of the AMA already established as a given. While Edmondson’s lawyers will be allowed to present virtually their entire case regarding the damages he suffered when the AMA unilaterally took over a joint venture established between the AMA and Edmondson, the AMA lawyers will not be allowed to offer any mitigating evidence or claims of innocence.

The retrial is tentatively set to start July 9 in Asheville, North Carolina and will be open to the public, including any AMA members who want to see for themselves how the actual court proceedings compare to AMA press releases on the matter.

In his ruling, Thornburg stated that the issues the jury will decide are as follows:

A. Plaintiff’s Claim For Conversion:

1. Did the Plaintiff bring tangible business assets to the 1994 joint venture with the Defendants?

2. Did the Defendants AMA and Paradama convert any of those tangible business assets brought to the 1994 joint venture by the Plaintiff?

3. What amount of damages, if any, is the Plaintiff entitled to recover of the Defendants for the conversion of tangible business assets brought to the 1994 joint venture?


B. Plaintiff’s Claim For Unfair Competition:

1. What amount of damages, if any, is the Plaintiff entitled to recover of the Defendants as a result of the following:

a. The Defendants’ conversion of the Plaintiff’s mailing list?

b. The Defendants’ assertion of control over the Plaintiff’s interest in the 1994 joint venture and/or exclusion of him from the business, including damages, if any, flowing from Edmondson’s loss of intangible business assets such as business expectancies and good will?

c. The Defendants’ misrepresentation to the Plaintiff of their intentions to purchase his interest in the joint venture?

d. The Defendants’ marketing and promotion of professional motorcycle races in 1995 and/or thereafter as if those races were the same product which had been produced by the joint venture?

e. The Defendants’ marketing and promotion of professional motorcycle races in 1995 and/or thereafter as if those races were a continuation of the series operated by the joint venture prior to 1995?

f. The Defendants’ interference with any contractual right of the Plaintiff when he was attempting to carry on his new motorcycle racing business?

g. The Defendants’ interference with any prospective contractual rights of the Plaintiff when he was attempting to carry on his new motorcycle racing business?


C. The Plaintiff’s Claim For Punitive Damages:

1. What amount of punitive damages, if any, does the jury in its discretion award the Plaintiff for the following?

a. The conversion by Defendants AMA and Paradama of the Plaintiff’s mailing list:
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

b. The Defendants’ wrongful interference with a contract right between the Plaintiff and Mid-Ohio Race Track for 1995:
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

c. The Defendants’ wrongful interference with a contact right between the Plaintiff and Brainerd Race Track for 1995:
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

d. The Defendants’ wrongful interference with a contract right between the Plaintiff and Road America Race Track for 1995:
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

e. The Defendants’ conversion of tangible business assets brought to the 1994 joint venture by the Plaintiff:
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

f. The Defendants’ assertion of control over the Plaintiff’s business interest in the 1994 joint venture and/or exclusion of him from the business, including damages, if any, flowing from Edmondson’s loss of intangible business assets such as business expectancies and good will?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

g. The Defendants’ misrepresentation to the Plaintiff of their intention to purchase his interest in the joint venture?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

h. The Defendants’ marketing and promotion of professional motorcycle races in 1995 and/or thereafter as if those races were the same product which had been produced by the joint venture?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

i. The Defendants’ marketing and promotion of professional motorcycle races in 1995 and/or thereafter as if those races were a continuation of the series operated by the joint venture prior to 1995?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

j. The Defendants’ interference with any contractual right of the Plaintiff when he was attem;ting to carry on his new motorcycle racing business?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?

k. The Defendants’ interference with any prospective contractual right of the Plaintiff when he was attempting to carry on his new motorcycle racing business?
i. From the Defendant AMA?
ii. From the Defendant Paradama?


Some AMA sources have claimed the retrial will vindicate the AMA and result in a damage award far smaller than the award in the original trial. If that is the case, Roadracing World will report that as fact. But as a handy tip, don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen. Our prediction as the only media source to attend the original trial and the appeal, is that the AMA will end up being forced to pay Roger Edmondson far in excess of $3 million. Our hunch is that the magic number will be around $7 million. Stay tuned to see what actually happens.

A CRA Racer Puts It All In Perspective After His Father Suffers A Massive Heart Attack During A Race Weekend

This letter is to all racers out there who (like me) get wrapped up in some of the trivial B.S. involved in a race weekend and get stressed out. The weather sucks, my tires suck, that racer is a pin-head, etc. Remember to not worry about the small stuff, and it is ALL small stuff. Just enjoy yourself and be focused. After arriving at BIR for the opening weekend, unloading, setting up the camper, etc., I find a message on my cell phone at 11:00 p.m. that my Dad has had a massive heart attack. Not knowing any details, very tired and being three hours from home, I talked, prayed and talked to other family members to get information on his condition before making a move. The last word from my Uncle at 12:30 a.m. was that the nurse said he was “okay” considering what had happened. He had stents put in his heart arteries and was under heavy medication and resting. I decided to wait until morning and lay by the phone… I drove down the next day with my son after a day of non-enthusiastic practice. I tried to explain to my Mom that packing everything up and driving down the night before would be a 4-hour minimum job and in all truth, there was nothing for any of us to do but pray, because we are not the ones in control…only God is. Standing around wringing our hands and making each other goulash and bars was not going to make my Dad any better. After all was done and said while I was there, I returned to BIR with my son contemplating some of the things my mother said to me. I had a lot of supportive people in the CRA praying for and with me for my Dad, many in the CRA family came up to me and told me that he was in their thoughts and prayers…it gave me incredible strength! I decided to keep monitoring the phone, but to dedicate all races to my Dad and thank God for all the opportunities I’ve had with him. I then proceeded to black out all of the dumb, trivial bullshit that I usually stress about and just focus on racing in my Dad’s honor. As I raced, I had three people on that bike…this accounted for me scoring five times as many points in one weekend as I had the entire previous year. The only downfall was trying to see through all the tears as I crossed the finish line in my last race. The strength of all the prayers from my family and my CRA family had not only helped put my Dad on the road to recovery, but filled me with so much strength and focus, I could have done anything (except for the fact that I had a horrible start in the SuperTwins race…). Thank you to all of you in the CRA who were there for us, your thoughts and prayers meant more to me than you’ll ever know. S.C. Pittman #228 CRA Rosemount, Minnesota

McDonald Broke Hallett Lap Record Last Sunday

Sam McDonald broke the motorcycle lap record at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit in Hallett, Oklahoma Sunday, June 3. Timed by the CMRA, McDonald set a new record at 1:18.61 in the Unlimited GP race, breaking the previous record of 1:18.91 set by Rick Kirk in 1998. McDonald was riding a K&N Motorcycles-sponsored Yamaha YZF-R1 on Michelin DOT-labeled tires.

FIM Dope Tests Find Metabolite In One Racer, But Barnes Passes Alcohol Testing No Problem

According to a press release issued by the FIM, random urine tests for the presence of drugs conducted during the World Endurance Championship weekend May 5-6 at Brno, Czech Republic caught Swiss rider Herbert Graf with “a concentration of 32 ng/ml of metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol, which is above the maximum tolerated conentration of 15 ng/ml. Mr. Graf did not ask for a counter-test with the B sample.”

According to the same press release, “All the other samples tested showed the absence of any banned substances.”

The press release also revealed the results of alcohol tests, and stated “All the alcohol controls were negative. The riders controlled were: Olivier Four (FRA), Michael Barnes (USA), Thierry Paillot (FRA), Igor Jerman (SLO), Heinz Platacis (AUS), Thorsten Wernke (GER).”

20 New Air Fence Sections Have Arrived At Road America

20 new sections of Air Fence–about 600 linear feet–have arrived at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin and are ready for deployment at next weekend’s AMA National.

The 20 new sections from Air Fence Safety Systems (Australia) bring the total of Air Fence/Air Module sections available for use at AMA races to 38, up from the 3 sections owned by AMA Pro Racing at the beginning of this racing season.

The Roadracing World Air Fence Fund has contributed $104,000 to AMA Pro Racing, toward purchasing, maintaining and transporting Air Fence for use at AMA Nationals.

Junge Sets New Track Record Again In WERA National Challenge At Putnam

Vesrah Suzuki’s Mark Junge broke his own lap record at Putnam Park Road Course in Mt. Meridian, Indiana Sunday, during WERA National Challenge Series spring action. Junge’s existing lap record was 1:11.001, but in winning the Open Superstock race Junge broke the record on nearly every lap and finally set the new mark at 1:10.478 on his GSX-R1000 with Metzeler DOT-labeled tires. Arclight Suzuki’s Scott Harwell finished second Team Xtreme/Pennzoil’s Wade Buffington was third.

Vesrah Suzuki’s Glenn Szarek beat Harwell to win the Heavyweight Twins race on a TL1000R, and Szarek ran away in the 750cc Superstock final with best lap at 1:10.6 on a GSX-R750. Like Junge, Szarek uses Metzeler tires.

Chris “Opie” Caylor beat Junge in 600cc Superstock and Paramount Racing’s Joe Temperato was third, all three on GSX-R600 Suzukis on Metzeler tires.

Team Outa Sight’s Jason Peters won both the 125cc Grand Prix and the two-strokes-only Formula Two races by large margins on his Dunlop slick-equipped Honda RS125.

The day ended with Twowheelsales.com’s Tim Bemisderfer winning the Formula One race on his Dunlop DOT-shod GSX-R1000. Bemisderfer was the last man standing in a race filled with crashes and off-track excursions.

The Air Fence signing will be hosted by Roadracing World’s John Ulrich, who will have an up-to-date list of contributors on hand. Donations to the Roadracing World Air Fence will also be accepted on site.
