Jason Pridmore's STAR Motorcycle School Blog: September 2007 Newsletter

Going to California with an aching in my heart

STAR has just completed an excellent sold-out school at New Hampshire International Speedway, and our first school at a new (for us) venue - Jennings GP. The consensus was that Jennings is one of the best racetracks in the US - it is that good. Special thanks to the JenningsGP crew for making us feel at home. We'll definitely see you in 2008.

After Jennings, our truck headed west and won't stop until Reno-Fernley Raceway on September 10/11. After Reno we're at the Streets of Willow for another sold-out school on September 20/21 and one of our favorites - Thunderhill Motorsports Park October 9/10. Thunderhill will sellout. If you are thinking about it, don't wait too long.

STAR Instructors rule the racetrack (and the flat track)

Jimmy Wood made his return from an injury at the Springfield AMA Short Track on Memorial Day weekend. He was the fast qualifier (out of 90!) at Springfield, and was in the fight for a podium before eventually finishing 6th. Utilizing the asphalt side of his brain at the Talladega WERA National, J Wood won the 750 Superbike race and the 600 class (finishing 3rd overall) in the 4 hour endurance race. Get some Jimmy!

Jimmy and Springfield are pretty much Best Friends Forever

Richie Alexander and his Jordan Motorsports crew had an excellent weekend at VIR, with podiums in both the AMA Superbike and Superstock classes. At Atlanta, Lick had his riders Robertino Pietri and Gary Mason headed for 7th and 8th in the Superstock race until the AMA displayed an red-flag only for his riders (plus 2 others)! Let the conspiracy theories commence!

On the west coast, Dave Stanton was back on top of the AFM Formula Pacific class at his old friend Infineon Raceway. Craig Mclean finished 3rd in Open Twins that same weekend. And at WERA regional race at Buttonwillow, Angie Loy rocked a 3rd place in 750 Superbike.
