Episode 40: Preview of MotoAmerica Superbikes at Ridge Motorsports Park

This weekend the series travels about as far away from me as they can when they head to the Seattle area for the MotoAmerica Superbikes at Ridge Motorsports Park weekend. I love the west coast swing so I can go kayaking in the morning and still be home in plenty of time to catch all the races live.   In our News of the Week, Tyler Scott won the 103rd Loudon Classic! He has now won that race for the second year in a row and three times in the last four years. Brandon Paasch finished 2nd while Eli Block finished in 3rd place of a Supersport race on a Twins Cup bike?!?!?   Kensei Matsudaira and Mahdi Salem both also had a good weekend racing in the Moto4 Latin Cup in Argentina. In the three races over last weekend Matsudaira finished 1/2/2 while Salem was right behind him with a 2/3/3.   Finally, a very special thank you to Loris Baz for taking a few minutes to join the show after traveling nearly halfway around the world to fill in this weekend for Cameron Beaubier with the Warhorse HSBK Ducati with Flo4Law team.   Enjoy some awesome racing this weekend because I think all five classes racing are going to have interesting battles at the front. Of course, we'll talk about all the action that happened on next week's show, until then take care of each other.

Episode 39: MotoAmerica News of the Week and Early Season Surprises

Big news this week with Cameron Beaubier missing the next round at The Ridge Motorsports Park. Benjamin Smith is on the entry list making his return for the Warhorse Ducati Team after missing the a few races with injuries and he will be teamed up with Superbike race winner Loris Baz when the series visits Washington State in a week and a half.   Eraldo Ferracci has been elected into the AMA Hall of Fame. Extremely well deserved.   Also the Loudon Classic is this weekend. Go to NEMRR.com for the weekend's schedule and how to watch, a lot of MotoAmerica regulars run this race in a couple different classes every year.   We also have another great mailbag question from Meeganyourjacket that spirals out of control into a rundown of what Superbikes rides might be available next year before moving on to what early season surprises we have had so far.   Next week we preview the MotoAmerica Superbikes at The Ridge round, until then take care of each other!

Episode 38: 5 Questions, the Build. Train. Race. edition

B.TR. has been a staple of the MotoAmerica paddock for many years. While I have always loved it this year I think the depth of talent is the best it has ever been in this programs history.   Get to know this collection of truly amazing people that balance not only the work and level of detail required to be their own crew chiefs and mechanics while riding on the professional stage with being an icon and inspiration helping to bring more women into the sport of motorcycle racing beyond just the borders of our country.   Oh yeah, most of them have pretty demanding full time jobs, too!   A huge thank you to Royal Enfield, my POC there Jennifer Lewis, and all the competitors that have already made this one of the more exciting years this class has seen. And we're only at the halfway point of the season!
