Everyone,
Since my last posting an unforseen issue has come up. ESMRA will not be able to make it for the final race. Therefore, the 2006 season is complete.
I will have everything completed for final points, trophies, etc by this time next week. The 2007 Season schedule will be posted sometime this winter.
Thanks to once & all for a great 2006 Season. Look forward to seeing everyone next year. Again, please forgive us.

October 20, 2006 – Freestyler Mike “The Godfather” Metzger, speedway legend Billy “The Bullet” Hamill, and champion flattracker Johnny “Showtime” Murphree have added their names to the grid for the AMA Supermoto Championship Final, Troy Lee’s “Duel At The Docks” Nov. 3-5 at the Queen Mary in Long Beach.
 
“This is what supermoto is all about,” said Lee. “Racers from every discipline going bar to bar to see who’s best. And we’re expecting to announce a few more marquee names before the green flag comes out.”
 
Supermoto series points leaders Jeff Ward and Doug Henry already had their hands full with their respective teammates Chris Fillmore and Mark Burkhart breathing down their necks. Now they’ll have to also contend with skilled riders like Metzger, Hamill and Murphree out to show they can just drop in and take the checkers, too.
 
The innovative track layout for “Duel At The Docks” features an array of crowd-pleasing obstacles, including a tunnel (a supermoto first) just before the transition from asphalt to dirt, the 40-foot Honda skyshot bridge, and the Parts Unlimited “Urban Cross” jumps.
 
The weekend’s action begins on Friday, Nov. 3rdwith practice sessions that are open to the public. Saturday the 4thwill feature amateur racing in the NASMOTO (North American Supermoto) championship, with the AMA national final taking place on Sunday the 5th.
 
Tickets are available at www.troyleedesigns.com and at participating Southern California Honda motorcycle dealers. Prices are $15/Friday, $25/Saturday, $35/Sunday, or $50 for the whole weekend. Kids age 12 and under get in free with a paid adult using a voucher available at Honda motorcycle dealers. A limited number of motorcycles will be able to park in the Queen Mary lot, while those in autos will park at the nearby Long Beach Convention Center and take advantage of a convenient stream of shuttle buses and watercraft to and from the racetrack.

NASHVILLE, TN OCTOBER 15, 2006
 
The NASMOTO Amateur and Pro/Am races rounded out a great weekend of Supermoto racing at the Sloan’s Xtreme Cycle Jam 06. When the amateur bikes rolled out for their first practice Sunday Morning, the track was still nice and warm from the Parts Unlimited AMA Supermoto Series races that were run the night before!
 
Held at the Music City Motorplex; it didn’t matter if you were a pro or an amateur, on two or four wheels, everybody ran the same track. The diamond plate Urban Cross jumps were left in place, at full height. They provided more than enough encouragement to fly a quad! The dirt section stayed blue for nearly the whole day and the amateur speeds seemed well suited to the dual lines. The speed around the oval was anything but amateur, with the big bikes easily topping out over a ton.

Nick McFadden topped the Premier Mini Class riding a Fast Forward sponsored Honda CR85. This kid seemed to have a sixth or maybe even seventh gear as he flew around the oval. Lap after lap, Emerson Conner really put up a great fight. He would rail through the infield and catch up to the leader, only to watch him drive away on the oval. In the end McFadden crossed the finish line first. Brody Shields had been helping his Dad in the pro pits on Saturday night, so Sunday was his turn to race. The RTD Contractors sponsored rider finished third behind Conner.
 
The Beginner and Novice classes were combined and as a result it was the second largest grid of the day! Wayne Sims won the Beginner’s Class, finishing ahead of second place Dave Warmker and the rest of the combined field. Dakota Simmons showed up with a big #1 on his numberplate and it turns out he was right. He won the Novice class.

The Seventy Thirty Racing SM1 class was the two-wheeled Showcase Show Down of the day. Cycles 128 rider Jonathan Gosselin and Three Bothers backed Brian Barton fought each other for the entire heat race and kept at it right on through the main. Barton could pull even on the urban cross jumps and in the infield, but the road racer in Gosselin was always able to leap back ahead on the asphalt banks. At this really fast track the road racer came out on top, Gosselin finished ahead of Barton and Joel Grover. The cool down lap was crazy. I have never seen the corner workers going completely native over a third place finish!
 
The SM2 class was combined with the SM1 class, so it is only fitting that the leaders would also run together. Colter Dimick and Chase Guthrie were blazing fast on their Honda CRF250’s. Both riders quickly worked their way through the rest of the field, with Dimick’s ACES backed bike finished third overall and first in the class. Guthrie’s Bloomington Powersport bike was the fourth one across the finish line and took second in the SM2 class. Following up his win in Pennsylvania with a third in Nashville, Nick Page rounded out the SM2 podium.

The SMX Open class was dominated by Micky Dymond. Dymond was hanging around on Sunday and waiting for the All Access Diamond Plate to be loaded and took advantage of the available track time. He ran a few fast laps on his big KTM, won the SMX Open race and gave Corey Hormes and Gosselin a rabbit to try and chase down. Jason Baldwin topped the SMX450 class, finishing ahead of South African Brian Capper and Guthrie. Guthrie was riding a 450 this race and proved he is fast on both a big bike and a two fifty.

Originally scheduled to be part of the Queen Mary Finale, the ATVA Supermoto Grand Championships were held at the Music City Motorplex. Despite the last minute venue change, many riders from both ends of the country made the race. It quickly became an East verses West thing. Even in the pits it was California and Nevada on the left. Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and New York on the right.

Niclas Granlund, Jason Anderson, and Joe Arrowsmith were the top three riders in the Duro Tire Pro ATV class. Granlund not only won Sunday’s race, but he also became the first AMA Sports/NASMOTO Pro ATVA Grand Champion. He was waving to his pit crew and celebrating the last few laps of the race, even though Anderson’s Pinit Motorsports tuned Yamaha YZF450 was right behind him. LRD Performance racer Arrowsmith ran with the leaders for the entire race, but had his hands full holding off Zac Willett the last few laps of the race. Earlier in the day, Willett had gotten tangled up in the heat race and DFL’d it. He had to start the main in the back row and spent the race trying to push his Kellog’s back Honda through the field. Willett was still trying to dive inside the third place Arrowsmith when they ran under the checkered flag.

At the top of the Amateur ATV podium was William Key riding a Cycle Addicts backed Suzuki. Key’s win also guaranteed an AMA Sports/NASMOTO ATVA Amateur Number One plate to screw onto the inside of his race trailer door! Justin Anderson and Brandon Welp rounded out the amateur podium in Nashville. In the end, the Pro class was a West Coast affair and went Nevada, California, California, and Kentucky. The East Coast controlled the amateur grid, with hardware returning to New York, Tennessee, and Indiana.

October 4, 2006 - Originally scheduled as part of Troy Lee's "Duel at the Docks" AMA Supermoto Final weekend at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, the AMA Sports/NASMOTO pro and amateur ATVA Supermoto Grand Championships will now take place two weeks earlier, on Sunday, October 15th at the State Fairgrounds Music City Motorplex in Nashville, TN.
 
"There were some insurance liability issues with regard to running ATVs at the Queen Mary," said NASMOTO VP Ted Baker. "Although the venue change has inconvenienced some racers - and believe me, we feel badly about that - we are nonetheless fortunate to be able to wrap up the ATV season on an incredible track in Nashville."
 
The ATV final will be part of X'treme Cycle Jam '06, a full weekend of intense supermoto racing at Nashville's Motorplex. Contenders for the national pro title include Zac Willett, Daryl Rath, and Nick Granlund, who has dominated the series so far.
 
"We are still hoping and expecting to have all the top pro and amateur ATV riders show up, despite the schedule change," said Baker. "But it's worth noting that we want to make sure we've got full grids in both classes, so interested riders should go to www.nasmoto.com to pre-register via our technology partner XBUX."
 
"The ATV racers have definitely been stirring up some excitement this season," said Joel Grover, Director of AMA Supermoto, who also happens to be a former pro ATV racer himself. "Things can get pretty wild out there with four wheels on a supermoto track, and the crowds love it. We are making the best of this last-minute venue change and expect to have a fantastic AMA Grand Championship."
 
The most recent stop in the AMA Sports/NASMOTO series featuring the ATVs was a successful weekend at The Grange in Apple Valley CA Sept. 30 - Oct. 1. The series has been criss-crossing the country all season with the key help of sponsors like Duro Tire, which has taken a leadership role in promoting the sport.

September 26, 2006 – This year’s AMA pro and NASMOTO amateur supermoto series will both end in spectacular fashion on a single weekend November 3-5 at the fabled Queen Mary in California’s Long Beach Harbor. Troy Lee’s inaugural “Duel At The Docks” will combine a picturesque venue with a highly creative supermoto track layout that promises to provide one of the most memorable race weekends in motorsports history.

“We are very excited to be hosting this event,” said Felton Hyche, VP of Special Event Sales and Promotions at The Queen Mary. “Never before have we had this kind of speed and horsepower competing right next to the ship. Troy and his team have an outstanding event planned and other activities that should prove to be great entertainment for the entire family.”
 
The weekend’s action begins on Friday, Nov. 3rd with pro and amateur practice sessions and media day. Saturday the 4th features NASMOTO (North American Supermoto) championship amateur racing and pro practice. The main event is on Sunday the 5th, as the top pointsgetters from this season’s AMA pro supermoto series fight for this year’s national titles. Jeff Ward, Doug Henry and Chris Fillmore currently lead the Supermoto pack, while Team Troy Lee Designs’ Cassidy Anderson has dominated the Supermoto Lites (250cc) category, battling Brandon Currie all the way. The trio of David Baffeleuf, Ben Carlson and reigning class champ Micky Dymond have been running neck and neck in the Unlimited class standings.
 
The “Duel At The Docks” track layout is designed to showcase the trademark versatility possessed by top supermoto racers. Features include The Monaco Tunnel just before the transition from dirt to asphalt – a first for a supermoto track – and a massive bridge over a paved section of the course that will certainly result in plenty of crowd-pleasing excitement.
 
Primary event sponsors include American Honda, Red Bull, MotoBrew, Oakley, Weekend Warrior and Empresa Home Loans. “Supermoto is on a fast growth curve in The United States, and we wanted to create a first-class event for these amazing racers,” said “Duel at the Docks” promoter Troy Lee, whose custom-painted racing helmets have been worn by hundreds of the world’s fastest racers for over 25 years, and who is a Supermoto team owner and racer himself. “It’s going to be an unbelievable race, not unlike the original ‘ABC Superbikers’ event at Carlsbad Raceway that started it all back in the day.”
 
Tickets will be available October 4th at participating Southern California Honda motorcycle dealers, on the web at www.TroyLeeDesigns.com, and www.queenmary.com. Prices are $15/Friday, $25/Saturday, $35/Sunday, or $50 for the 3 day ticket.

Supermoto is motorcycling’s version of auto rally racing, only held in a venue where the entire course is visible.
 
“And with four pro main events, along with all of the qualifying, the entertainment return on the family dollar investment has kept our fans coming back.”
 
Leading the AMA Supermoto Championship series thus far is former motocross champion and Indy 500 podium finisher Jeff Ward. “Wardy” heads a field of racers that includes international greats such as ’05 AMA Supermoto champion Jurgen Kunzel (Germany) and Troy Herfoss (Australia), along with homegrown U.S.A. talent like AMA motocross legend Doug Henry, the AMA Superbike Championship Bostrom brothers (Ben & Eric) and AMA flat track great Glen “JR” Schnabel.
 
“The X’treme Cycle Jam AMA Supermoto provides motorsport fans with an exciting day of motorcycle racing action showcasing all of the disciplines of the sport - road racing, motocross and flat track – in one race,” said Joe Mattioli, President of the Fairgrounds Music City Motorplex. “We’re encouraging fans that attend our other great motorsports events – NASCAR Late Models and Super Trucks, the All American 400 and DukesFest – to come check out the motorcycle racing action on Saturday, Oct. 14th.
