It's Humpday in SupermotoLand!!!
The weekend flew by with the MiSupermoto-X being the big
Supermoto action that took place here in the USA. The XTRM/AMA Supermoto
Championship series rolls into the much loved, and great for
Supermoto racing action, USA International Raceway, in Shawano,
Wisconsin, for Round #3, while the FIM World Supermoto
Championship heads to Greinbach, Austria for round #5. Speaking
of the AMA series.......the

Also......the fastest "old" guys in the USA will be puttin' it
sideways at the
Supermoto-USA run 2008 Vet Nationals
at the huge and hilly Reno-Fernley raceway in Nevada. Keep your
mouse pointed here to "SMO" for all that is
goin' down before the green flags wave!
Northern California's, and Mach1
Motorsports backed, Danny Casey, took home the big bucks
Saturday, winning the
Supermoto Pro Main at the MiSupermoto-X
event. Casey capped a race long battle with fellow AMA Supermoto
Championship series regulars, Team
 EvolveMoto/DNA Energy Drink
Racing's Johnny Lewis, and the TUF Powersports/Michelin
backed Robert Loire for the $1500 first place. Casey, another
of the fast Supermoto-USA graduates, continued his excellent 2008
professional supermoto campaign just a week after standing on the
podium in Connecticut for his 3rd place finish in round #2 of the
AMA Supermoto series.
After round #2 of the AMA Supermoto
Championship Series, which was run under comfy weather conditions....(after predictions of possibly nasty storms dissipated into mostly
sunny skies and warm temps), Graves Motorsports/Yamaha backed Mark
Burkhart may NOT have the runaway season that some were predicting.
The
Results are in and HMC/KTM's Troy Herfoss put
it to the whole field in the Premier/450 main event even after
crashing, and was followed to the line by the Graves Yamaha of
Mark Burkhart, and then Troy's HMC teammate Chris Fillmore
in third. Hart & Huntington's Steve Drew did it again in
Unlimited and the Graves Motorsports/Yamaha of Brandon Currie
backed up HIS first round win at Seattle with a Lites class win.
