STAR Headed Home

STAR is headed home to finish out the season on the West Coast. We’re at the improved Pueblo Motorsports Park in Colorado on September 8th and 9th. We’re off to the Streets of Willow on the 29th and 30th. And finally, we will finish out our season at the newly-paved Thunderhill Motorsports Park on October 13-15th, ending our season on the 15th with the popular Pro School.

STAR Instructors at the Racetrack in 2008

Jason has been traveling the world racing, coming to grips with his Alto Evolution motorcycle after finally having the opportunity to test. Now he just has to continue to learn new racetracks in one hour before the first WSBK qualifying session! Two weeks ago he was at Suzuka for the Eight Hours of Suzuka, where he finished 17th. From Japan, he went straight to England for the World Superbike races at Brands Hatch. This weekend finds him in Germany for the Endurance World Championship 8-Hour At Oschersleben.

Instructors were tearing up the club races as well. Dave Stanton won the AFM Formula Pacific race at the Thunderhill. Jimmy Wood made his first trip to Thunderhill, where he had podium finishes in 600 and 750cc class racing. Jimmy has been on quite a roll, winning in consecutive weekends at Miller Motorsports Park (where he set the lap record for 600cc machines on the East Course), Ventura Speedway, and California Speedway. What we want to know - is it true that the Ventura flat track win came in front of John Kocinski AND Cher?
