MotoAmerica SuperBike Series

Because of a death in the family of a co-worker, I was unable to attend this past weekends racing event, nor will I be in attendance at the NTT INDYCAR SERIES Sonsio Grand Prix Presented by AMR

Staff photographer Kenneth Farver filled in for me and posted the following motorcycle action

Indy Pro 2000 Presented by Cooper Tires, race # 2 at Road America

Indy Pro driver Artem Petrov created his own fly over for the fans in turn 5 Sunday at Road America.

Coming into turn 5, he was a little late on the brakes and clipped the #21 car of Kyffin Simpson.

Artem was not injured in the contact and was seen by the Safety Crew that was positioned inside of turn 5

Artem finished in 11th position and is currently 4th in the standing with 200 points

Turn 6 workspace

We are allowed to stand behind this cement wall, you can usually kneel down at the end on the left. Once you get your timing down with the 500cc bikes coming around the corner you need to correct your timing (faster) for the 1000cc bikes.

We also work in the rain - turn 6 action

Morning practice and qualifying sessions nice and dry - settling in for lunch time and the rain starts. Hoping that the rain will pass through in the next hour and give us dry and sunny conditions for qualifying and races this afternoon.
