May 2007 Newsletter

If you're old enough to remember the Diana Ross song "Love Hangover" you will understand how STAR feels after spending two beautiful days at Miller Motorsports Park. If there's a cure for this, we don't want it...

Our truck is loaded and enroute to Pueblo Motorsports Park in Colorado on May 10-11. Then we are taking a good old-fashioned STAR road trip across the Great Plains to Heartland Park in Topeka. Freshly paved with plenty of elevation - it looks like a favorite.

After Topeka, we enter Eslick territory - Hallet Raceway in Oklahoma on May 28-29. Autobahn on June 7-8 wraps up our Midwest schools before our annual summer break.

STAR Instructors pile up the race wins!

STAR instructor Dave Stanton was the King at round two of the AFM Championship at Infineon Raceway, winning the premier class Formula Pacific race. And longtime student /pro dirt tracker turned instructor / roadracer Jimmy Wood won his first National roadrace, winning the WERA 750SB Class on his Vesrah Suzuki GSX-R600. Go J Wood!

Congratulations to instructor and Jordan Motorsports Team Coordinator Richie Alexander and the rest of the Jordan squad on winning their first AMA race at Barber Motorsports Park., where new recruit Aaron Yates won the Superstock race. Teammate Jake Holden finished a close 2nd.

Speaking of Jake - think you're too cool for school? He came to our two day Road America school in 2006, on a street bike, and sat through all the classroom sessions (even Licks!) in addition to riding. Why? "I've got a few things I'm working on, like my body position under braking".

New Instructor @ STAR

Sometimes you staff up to meet demand. Other times you just can't pass up the opportunity to have someone like Angie Loy involved. Angie showed up as a student at our Buttonwillow school this season, and we were blown away. She is the perfect addition: patient and fast, articulate and analytical, and (so far) puts up with all of us. We don't know what she did before she became obsessed with motorcycles - we are just happy she is.

In addition to instructing with STAR and helping the annual Femmoto event, Angie club races with WERA and CCS and rides Supermoto. Most of her seat-time comes from her "day job" as a moto-journalist with Motorcyclist.

I Angie "gettin' herself some" in Jimmy Wood-speak
