Road America To Host Nation's Fastest Motorcycle Racers June 6-8
Road America News release
The AMA Suzuki Superbike Doubleheader returns to Road America, June 5- 8, 2008, to headline a huge weekend of motorcycle racing. Launched in 1976, with roots going back another 52 years, the AMA Superbike Championship presented by Parts Unlimited is America's premier road-race series. In three decades of competition, it has become the world's most prestigious and successful national stage for production-based motorcycle competition and proudly boasts 15 U.S. racers who went on to win a combined 30 world championships.
This year's 11-event, coast-to-coast series features four distinct classes: two for highly modified street bikes-Superbike and Formula Xtreme-and two for near-production versions of these machines- Supersport and Superstock. A combination of rider skill and changing technology pushes the limits each year, with constantly improving results. Record-breaking speeds are reached at Road America: the 4.048-mile, 14-turn track provides the fastest average lap times on the AMA Superbike Championship circuit.
En route to victory in 2006, Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Mat Mladin and his GSX-R1000 set a record-breaking, 2:11.90 sec., 110.34 mph run. Current Superbike point leaders include 2007 Champion Ben Spies, Mat Mladin and Neil Hodgson.
The SunTrust Moto-ST Series (emphasis mine) and the AMA Red Bull U.S. Rookies Cup Series will also enhance the action-packed schedule. Moto-ST Series takes to the track in a three-hour, team enduro format. With its large field, and dynamic rider changes and pit stops, this series offers spectators a uniquely intense form of cycle competition. Emerging talent is featured in the Red Bull AMA U.S. Rookies Cup Series in which young riders, between ages 13 and 16, compete using identical bikes so that no talent is overlooked due to a lack of financial resources or professional backing.
CAN SPIES BREAK THE RECORD FOR 7 WINS IN A ROW?

Everybody pretty much knows what to expect. :mad: Will the Yamaha's bounce back in Supersport and will Benny win them all as he says? Will Spies break the record with 7 wins in a row? Tune in Sunday to find out (or read Superbikeplanet like we do!)
