Andreas “Andy” or “Meki” Meklau gained notice by winning the first National Superbike race he entered in his home country of Austria, in 1991. That result led to Meklau’s World Superbike debut later that same year at the Osterriechring in Austria. Meklau came onto the World Superbike scene full time in 1992, and in 1993, Meklau took his one and only World Superbike win at the Osterriechring. During his career, Meklau earned four World Superbike podium finishes and two fastest laps. His 140 World Superbike race appearances places Meklau second among current World Superbike racers, four appearances behind Pierfrancesco Chili (144) and 16 ahead of reigning Superbike World Champion Colin Edwards II (124). Meklau spent most of his time in World Superbike as a privateer, and spent every season on a Ducati. When not racing World Superbike, 33-year-old Meklau records top finishes in the German National Superbike series.
Just prior to the start of the 2001 World Superbike season, the Remus Racing team withdrew from the World Superbike Series, leaving Meklau without a ride. Now Meklau is coming to America to fill the HMC Ducati seat vacated by injured Scott Russell.
Several riders were considered for the open Ducati North America Superbike seats, but were told that they needed to bring a sponsor with them. Candidates included former AMA Superbike/World Superbike/ Grand Prix racer Mike Hale, former Australian Ducati Factory rider Craig Connell and former NCR Ducati World Superbike racer Lance Isaacs, among others.
In addition to his strong ties with the Ducati factory, the fact that Andreas Meklau brought exhaust maker Remus with him as a sponsor was probably the deal maker.
Andreas Meklau’s Superbike World Championship Series Finishes:
1992 34th (tie)
1993 15th (1 win)
1994 6th (behind 1. Fogarty, 2. Russell, 3. Slight, 4. Polen, 5. Crafar)
1995 13th
1996 18th
1997 18th
1998 18th

Former racer and strident AMA critic Ken Vreeke is advising AMA Pro Racing on a new public relations strategy.
Vreeke, who now owns Vreeke & Associates Advertising, wrote a 1984 expose of AMA racing activities that was published in Cycle magazine. The piece so enraged AMA Trustees that they threatened to sue the magazine and full-time staffer Vreeke.
Now, nearly 20 years later, Vreeke hosted an April 30 conference call with AMA staff members to discuss the association’s current public relations problems and to suggest solutions.
The biggest public relations problem the AMA faces is that it often does a poor job of communicating with members and media representatives, and often fails to get the word out when it does something right or improves its racing programs. Word is also hard to get as to how and why various AMA decisions are made.
The fact that little or no attention is paid to AMA success stories has frustrated association staffers. And what press releases do come out of the association are often issued in reaction to outside criticism or forces instead of proactively addressing problems or announcing pending programs or improvements.
Recently, AMA Pro Racing has expanded its staff, hiring John Farris as Vice President, Commercial Development; Chris Bradley as Associate Director, Commercial Development; and Michele Rossi as Financial Analyst. But exactly why they were hired and what they are going to do remains a mystery to most “stakeholders”, which is what AMA Pro Racing likes to call AMA members involved in AMA professional competition. For that matter, there have been no press releases explaining why AMA Pro Racing, which is owned by the non-profit AMA, needs anyone working on “commercial development” in the first place.
Stay tuned.
Sears Point International Raceway in Sonoma, California will honor tickets from last year’s rained-out AMA Superbike National, for this coming weekend’s event.
Tickets from last year will be honored at the gate, according to a track spokesperson.
More information is available from Sears Point Raceway at (707) 938-8448.
In a 5:20 PDT phone call to Roadracing World headquarters, Sears Point Raceway spokesman John Cardinale said that the parking problems at the Sonoma, California racetrack are temporary and that big improvements will be seen in time for next year’s racing season.
Cardinale also said that Sears Point officials will position vendors behind turn 10 instead of in the paddock this year, to make more room for race team support vehicles. And the area immediately in front of the new garages being built in the paddock will be paved tommorow, allowing the removal of construction fences and making more room.
“We’ll make room,” Cardinale said when asked if all the competitors expected for this weekend’s AMA race will fit in the paddock despite space lost to garage construction.
According to Cardinale, the paddock will be 80 percent larger next year, and run-off room in several corners will be increased, so that every corner has at least 50 to 100 feet of run-off.
“It’s going to be a tight fit this year,” Cardinale admitted. “But we had to do this work sometime, to get this track out of the dark ages.”
Cardinale also denied that teams were promised that parking would begin at noon. “We wouldn’t have made that promise knowing that the school was here today,” Cardinale said.
“We wouldn’t have showed up here at noon if they hadn’t said that,” a team member still waiting at the front gate said.
A reduction in available room and a lack of parking procedures and planning has left a total of 30 non-factory AMA race team transporters waiting at the Sears Point gate for the last five hours.
While factory and support team semi-trucks were escorted in and parked after mid-day and throughout the afternoon, non-factory teams and private riders have been left waiting at the Sears Point gate and, as this is posted, are still waiting at 5:00 p.m. PDT.
Prior to arrival at Sears Point, some teams who called the racetrack were told that parking for this weekend’s AMA National would start at noon, and many hurried to arrive in time to make that deadline.
According to AMA Superbike Operations Manager Ron Barrick, who arrived at the track about 2:30 PDT this afternoon and was reached on his cell phone just before 5:00 p.m. PDT, the hold-up has been caused by students taking a CLASS school at Sears Point spreading out all across the available paddock, blocking orderly parking of non-semi-truck transporters.
Barrick said that track officials did not think to contain the CLASS students in one area of the paddock to expedite parking of AMA teams.
Sears Point officials are now saying that no more vehicles will be allowed through the gates until 6:00 p.m..
Similar parking foul-ups have plagued AMA teams going back years at various tracks, and it is common for promised parking times to be missed, despite the fact that some teams and riders drive long distances day and night to make announced parking deadlines.
A similar delay was encountered by teams at Road America last June, for example.
This just in from Ducati:
“The Ducati Infostrada World Superbike Championship factory team completed a two-day Michelin tyre test at Sugo Sportsland on Monday 30th April / Tuesday 1st May, just 24 hours after Sunday’s round four of the championship at the
Japanese circuit.
“The two-day test, with Troy Bayliss and Ruben Xaus present for Ducati Infostrada, was hit by poor weather with occasional rain showers and strong winds, while air and ground temperatures dropped to 5° and 10°C (41-50 degrees F) respectively on Tuesday.
“Ducati Infostrada’s French supplier provided a series of new tires for the test and both riders were able to complete a full session despite the difficult conditions.
“Troy Bayliss, who finished 13th and 15th in Sunday’s two races, recorded an unofficial best time of 1:30.5 on race tires and 1:29.9 on softer qualifying rubber. The times were a slight improvement on those recorded by the Australian during the Sugo race weekend and are to be considered positive given the conditions.
“Ruben Xaus recorded his best time of 1:32.5 on Monday, when he also crashed harmlessly for the third time in four days at the circuit.”
The tests are significant because Dunlop has had an advantage at Sugo due to extensive testing at the circuit with teams in the domestic Japanese series. Dunlop has a large factory with a race tire development and manufacturing facility in Japan. Michelin’s situation in the past has been similar at Sugo and at Laguna Seca, where Dunlop riders have an advantage due to testing and development at those specific tracks.
Team transporter drivers arriving at Sears Point Raceway Wednesday morning to set up for this weekend’s AMA Superbike race found a paddock parking nightmare caused by ongoing construction of permanent garages. The construction takes up most of the paddock area usually used by semi-truck transporters.
The semi-trucks may have to be parked down in the turn one area, far from pit lane and the racetrack entrance and exit.
According to Roadracing World’s Chris Ulrich, reporting from the scene at 12:30 p.m. PDT, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be possible to fit in all the semi trucks plus the smaller transporters used by private teams. Adding to the space crunch is the presence of the usual tire-vendor trucks and trailers. “If they can fit everybody in, it’s really going to be tight and there’s not going to be much room to maneuver,” Ulrich said.
Sears Point spokesman John Cardinale was at an off-site press conference and could not be reached for comment prior to post time.
This release came in early Wednesday morning (1:50 a.m. EDT), from Ducati:
HMC DUCATI RACING
Scott Russell won’t be in the line up for Sears Point, and although he is recovering well from his injuries, it is impossible to say when the former World Champion will return to the grid. His teammate, Steve Rapp, will stay on and former Pro Superbike Champion and top World Superbike privateer, Andreas Meklau, will join him. Meklau brings with him his long time sponsor, Remus, which has come on board as one of HMC’s major sponsors. Remus is the world’s largest producer of racing exhaust systems and has sponsored many European motorsport teams.
Team Owner, Mitch Hansen, says with certainty that Russell is not being replaced: “Scott’s bikes will be waiting for him if and when he’s ready to come back this season. We will restructure the team to run three riders if necessary.
“We had some bad luck at Daytona, but I’m confident Steve and Andreas will rapidly turn things around. I’m proud of the team we’ve put together and have no doubt that the rest of the season will produce the results we’ve been looking for.”
COMPETITION ACCESSORIES DUCATI
There are no big announcements from the Competition Accessories Ducati–yet! Team Manager, Tim Pritchard, says there are sponsorship developments in the pipeline, but certainly nothing he is ready to disclose.
In his second season with Competition Accessories Ducati, Larry Pegram has high hopes for the second round of the AMA Chevy Truck Superbike Championship and as the sole rider, he certainly has the best technical help he could possibly ask for. “The key ingredient,” says Pritchard, “not just for Sears, but for the rest of the season, is having the best team structure possible. I’m confident that we have two of the best technicians in the world and when this confidence is carried over to our riders, the results show.”
