April 2009 Newsletter

STAR is heading out to the World Class Miller Motorsports Park on April 27th and 28th. Too far to drive? We have 2009 GSX-R600s for rent. That will be as close to channeling Max Neukirchner as most of us will ever get! Take another lap around Miller with Jason
May is a busy month for STAR with our various racing commitments, just one school scheduled on May 11th and 12th at the Streets of Willow. April 15th has come and gone like Y2K. Come out and ride!

Thunderhill was Amazing!
STAR had three unbelievable days at Thunderhill. Sunny skies, 2009 Suzukis on our truck, bored (but alert!) cornerworkers and medical personnel, and great students. We're thinking about expanding our sold-out Pro School an extra day next time, as the end of the day always comes too soon. Special thanks to STAR student Aaron Coulton for servin' it up for us at lunchtime!

Jason and Damian at Le Mans

Jason's 2009 season in the Endurance World Championship starts this weekend with the Le Mans 24 Hour. His team BK Maco Moto was not able to attend any of the preseason testing, but were able to qualify 12th (just out of Superpole) for one of the most grueling races in the world. Look for Pridmore to move up during the race.

JP giving it the berries - Le Mans 2009

New STAR Instructor Damian Cudlin is also racing at Le Mans with his team Phase One. We sure scored when Damian and his wife Amy traveled from Australia to Jason's house for winter training and decided to stay. Damo's been racing all over the world for several years, with podiums in various National Championships and the World Endurance Championship (and a 13th in the Daytona 200 this year in his first visit). He has motorcycle teaching experience in several countries, has been a development rider for motorcycles like the Kalex AV1, and didn't even flinch when Gallardo suggested jumping on an SV to work on body position. He might look PG-13, but the Tin Man has a heart. Look for Damian at a STAR school near you.

You can follow the boys in the race on Le Mans live timing and scoring. Jason is also doing updates on Twitter.

As Stanton would say - Cudlin looks to be having a "Nice Time"

STAR In Ultimate Motorcycling
Mike Quindazzi from Ultimate Motorcycling came out to the Streets and spent two days with us. You can read his review of STAR on their excellent site here.
