West Coast Moto Jam Set for May at Infineon Raceway
Sonoma, CA. 4.10.2010:
Infineon Raceway's traditional spring motorcycle weekend
will have a new look and feel in 2010, as well as a new
name.
The West Coast Moto Jam will take place May 14-16 and boasts
a little bit of everything on two wheels, highlighted by the
best motorcycle road racers in the country from AMA Pro Road
Racing.
But the action won't be limited to the world-famous road
course. The weekend will also feature Supermoto, Flat Track
and Motocross. Plus, the raceway will host the first-ever
zero-carbon motorcycle race in the United States with the
TTXGP U.S. Championships. It's simply one of the most
comprehensive motorcycle weekends on the West Coast.
"Northern California is home to enthusiasts of every kind of
motorcycle racing and our vision for this event is to offer
a unique menu of activity that will satisfy every one of
their passions," said Steve Page, president and general
manager of Infineon Raceway.
AMA Pro Road Racing
The road course will be the site for AMA Pro Road
Racing with action in three divisions: American SuperBike,
Daytona SportBike and Supersport. Each division will run
main events on both Saturday and Sunday of race weekend,
making for a jam-packed program on the road course.
TTXGP U.S.Championships
Infineon Raceway will host the first-ever
zero-carbon motorcycle race in the United States with the
TTXGP U.S. Championships. Azhar Hussain, founder of TTXGP
(Time Trial eXtreme Grand Prix), hopes to build on the
success of a similar event hosted at the Isle of Man in
Europe last June.
Supermoto USA
The Infineon Raceway Karting Center will also come
alive with Supermoto USA, which will compete for the fifth
consecutive year. Competitors will navigate the
three-quarter mile, 16-turn course, which is a combination
of dirt and asphalt. It's one of the most challenging
circuits on the series' schedule.
Motocross
Motocross, which was a highly-popular addition to
the race weekend in 2008, returns after a one-year hiatus.
Racing will be featured in vintage, amateur and endurance
divisions. Legendary rider Brad Lackey, who won the 1982
World Motocross Championship, will team with McAllister
Motorsports to host the event. More than 300 riders are
expected for this three-day event.
Flat Track
Finally, Flat Track will take place on a
quarter-mile oval created behind the Turn 9 Terrace with
Eddie Mulder's West Coast Dirt Track Series. This marks the
first Flat Track event at Infineon Raceway in more than 20
years. Racing will span all weekend.
May 12-13
You won't have to wait until Friday to take part in
the fun. Festivities begin on Wednesday, May 12, with a 3J's
Motorcycle Track Day (www.3jsmotorcycledays.com),
with all proceeds benefitting Speedway Children's Charities,
the charitable arm of Infineon Raceway. That night, get
ready for motorcycle drag racing on the quarter-mile strip.
