Last weekend I experienced MotoAmerica in action at Road America! These guys on motorcycles are fearless and or crazy!!!
Five different classes ran races plus some great historic classic old race bikes drove the track for exhibition.
1000hp Superbikes doing wheelies at the start and almost every lap coming out of turn two is something to see. Mathew Scholtz is seen here doing an off track excursion before the race in practice!
Cameron Beaubier on his Yamaha Superbike has been dominant at both visits this year at Road America except for the second race last weekend. He had his bike slip away on a bump in turn one. That gave the race to Bobby Fong on his Suzuki if he could hold on.
Jake Gagne, Kyle Wyman and Mathew Scholtz gave him a good run but Bobby Fong got the win on Sunday's Race 2!
Check out some of the bikes that were at the track with a nice Wisconsin State Patrol group of motorcycles leading them off for the final race Sunday. I heard one of the State Patrol guys was retiring after his ride that day. Nice way to end your career!
First time seeing these guys and they are just something to witness!
Thanks,
