Motorcyclist And Sport Rider Magazines Get New Owners

EMAP, a British media company, announced on Monday, July 2 that it has sold its United States magazine group (formerly Peterson Publishing) to New York-based Primedia, Inc. for $515 million.

According to a Rueters report appearing on the Yahoo Finance News website, EMAP bought Peterson for $1.2 billion just two years ago, the price based on a strong forecast of U.S. advertising growth.

After the Publishers Information Bureau released word that U.S. magazine advertising dropped 9.4% in May, EMAP made the sale to Primedia, which now becomes the second-largest consumer magazine publishing company in America with some 250 titles.

Included in Primedia’s newly expanded collection of magazines are Motorcyclist and Sport Rider.

CMRA Has Long Had Rider Representation

This just in from CMRA Board Member Eric Kelcher:

“The Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association has had a committee of riders that form the Board of Directors of the non-profit organization for as long as I have been part of the CMRA. The BOD is elected by the whole racer contingency on an annual basis to two year terms. As such it represents a broad diverse group of riders. Some of the board has talents in sprints, endurance, mini, and sportsman classes while others more of the operation and promotion of races. We have found this to work very well and the group has been been very proactive in defining and promoting safety at the venues we attend. The Board has at times set up special committees to evaluate and report back to the board on new venues and safety issues that come up that may require rule changes.

“Open forums are held with the general racer populace both live at the track venues and on the web.

What A Great Idea: RPM Establishes Steering Committee Staffed By Cross-section Of Riders

RPM, the Texas-based WERA and AMA affiliate, has established a formal system of getting representative rider input. A press release issued July 2 by the organization follows:

“As of June 14, 2001, RPM has formed a Riders Steering Committee. The purpose of the Riders Committee is to:

“1. Serve ALL riders by placing ideas on the
table that address the safety and general direction of the club and its members as to benefit the whole.

“2. To have actual input from their peers (other
riders) and act upon those best ideas as described in item #1 in a swift and well-managed manner.

“The appointed Riders Steering Committee Members are:

“1. Expert – Greg Abbott

“2. Expert – Pete Martins

“3. Novice – David Kagen

“4. Vintage – Scott Howse

“5. Mini – Harold Hixon

“Ideas will be discussed on terms and conditions of these positions held.

“We will have meetings once per month. As it stands right now, it will done in the RPM Chat Room every second Monday of the month from 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. @ www.rpmraceclub.com”

The release was issued via e-mail by RPM’s Tom Shields, who signed the release:

Several other club-racing organizations have similar schemes for gathering rider input, frequently putting rider-elected representatives on the organization’s Board of Directors.

If your club is using such a set-up, we’d like to hear from you, via e-mail to [email protected]. Please include your full name, your city and phone number. E-mails without full name, city and phone number will be ignored and deleted.

We Apparently Got The Portland Oiling Deal Wrong, And Now Stand Corrected By OMRRA

Never say that roadracingworld.com won’t try to correct a factual error, as in this case, when OMRRA’s Jeff Lind says we were full of (what Mat Mladin said at Loudon) when we reported on the track being oiled by an OMRRA local without an oil-catching bellypan, and webmaster Sam Fleming crashing in that oil at Portland. It actually was a local, but he was riding an AMA-legal Buell fitted with a bellypan, through which he had ground a hole. Jeff’s report follows:

“I learned of the oiling incident involving AMA Buell Pro Thunder racer Willie Jordan and AOD rider Sam Fleming from racer Briggs Willoughby and racer/OMRRA Vice President Bill Cismar. Below are their comments (speaking of Willie Jordan):

“Quoting Briggs – ‘This came from Willie. Call him up, he’s the service manager at Latus. But, he told me yesterday that on Friday he oiled himself, and almost crashed, and then the AOD bike went down in his oil. He said he had a bellypan, but had ground a hole in it.’

“Quoting Bill – ‘It was Willie. He came to me after the incident concerned that I, standing there in my OMRRA OFFICIAL shirt, was coming to see him to tell him he was done racing for the weekend. There were other red-flag incidents related to oil, but this specific incident, resulting in the AOD bike crashing, was Willie on an AMA-prepared Buell.”

“I would also like to correct another part of the Roadracingworld.com post that stated that ‘There are, however, several sections of Air Fence, owned by the racetrack, deployed for the event.’

“In actuality, the sections of Air Fence at the Portland race event(s) are not owned by the racetrack (PIR) but instead provided by OMRRA who rents them from an outside vender for all OMRRA motorcycle racing events.

“We (OMRRA) appreciate the press coverage, but feel the above details more accurately describe the facts of the reported matter.

“Other than the Friday practice oilings, the Saturday WERA 6-hour and Sunday combined OMRRA/WERA/AMA Pro Thunder sprint races went off beautifully and finished ahead of schedule. This is no small feat giving that normal OMRRA race Sundays are jam-packed with classes, then combine them with the WERA classes and visiting riders and throw in an AMA class as well. It’s a testament to the great volunteers who keep OMRRA running.

“Jeff Lind
“OMRRA Secretary, Board of Directors”

The Air Fence referred to is actually Kurt Sager’s Air Bale, which he rents to West Coast racetracks.

We still think every bike on every track should have a fluid-catching bellypan, AMA Pro Racing’s finest innovation, though.

AMA Agrees To Hear Appeals In Mladin And Chouinard Loudon Cases

AMA Pro Racing has agreed to hear appeals in the cases of Mat Mladin, (who was fined $5000 and lost a Championship point on trumped-up charges that his behavior in a press conference was detrimental to racing), and Chuck Chouinard, (who was disqualified from the Loudon 750cc Supersport race for allegedly having removed metal from valves).

News of the appeal for Chouinard came from AMA Pro Racing Superbike Operations Manager Ron Barrick, speaking at this weekend’s combined WERA National Challenge Series/AMA Pro Thunder National/OMRRA Regional event at Portland International Raceway.

News of the Mladin appeal came from Yoshimura Suzuki Team Manager Don Sakakura, speaking by phone from Chino, California.

Chouinard’s appeal will claim that the valves were not modified, but were only cleaned using Scotch-Brite. Valves from the engine and new, stock valves will be presented as evidence.

Mladin’s appeal will claim that Mladin did not say what he was accused of saying, and that an AMA press release announcing his fine and point loss misrepresented what Mladin said. A tape recording of the press conference in question and a copy of the AMA press release will be used as evidence.

The date and venue of the Appeal Board Hearings for Chouinard and Mladin have not yet been set.

Updated Post: F-USA Unlimited Superbike Official Results From VIR, And Ciccotto Says He’ll Never Race F-USA Again

Hooters Suzuki’s Mike Ciccotto won the first F-USA Unlimited Superbike race at VIR, crashed out of the second race just as rain started to fall, then angerly denounced F-USA officials and the series afterward, saying he would never race with F-USA again. Ciccotto said that late deployment of the red flag caused him to crash. F-USA Director of Road Racing Bill Syfan said that rain flags were displayed prior to Ciccotto’s crash and prior to the rain getting bad enough to justify the red flag. Despite Ciccotto’s harsh–and quite profane–words, loudly expressed to every press person he could find, F-USA officials were not interested in fining or sanctioning Ciccotto. “That’s not our series,” said one. Officials red-flagged the second race and scored it on the 14th lap (of a scheduled 18), with Lee Acree passing Arclight Suzuki teammate Brian Parriott to take first just as the rain started and Parriott slowed. Milennium Technologies’ Shawn Higbee, who crashed in the first race, came from the back of the grid to take third. Australian Craig Connell, riding an AMS Ducati, finished seventh and sixth, increasing his points lead to eight, ahead of Acree, Higbee and Grant Lopez; Lopez finished fourth in the first race but crashed out of the second race on the second lap when he hit his bike’s engine cases on a curb. Asked about the race-two rain situation, Connell said that he would have personally been happy to keep going, and that the race was stopped soon enough.
