May 2009 Newsletter

We're just back from two perfect schools at Miller and the Streets, and have a few weeks off before heading to the excellent Motorsports Park Hastings in Nebraska on June 13th and 14th. As we mentioned in 2008 after our return from MPH, track owner George Anderson truly built a Field of Dreams out in the middle of a cornfield. World-class pavement, a great layout, condos, garages, and showers. It's a destination, but worth it. Take a lap around Motorsports Park Hastings with Jason

After MPH we make our first trip to the new High Plains Raceway in Colorado July 13th and 14th. Our Pueblo students said they would follow us to High Plains, and we hope they do!

And we just added a date at Heartland Park Topeka on August 31st and September 1st. The AMA has scheduled a race there this season, I'm sure Instructor Jimmy Wood's onboard from Topeka will be getting lots of play before the National!

Jason and Damian Cudlin both had a rough go at the LeMans 24 Hour, with Cudlins's team suffering a mechanical early in the race and Pridmore crashing out of the battle for 5th at the halfway point in horrendous conditions. Jason had to make a trip to his old friend Dr Ting but should be in fighting shape for Albacete on July 4th.

Damian landed on his feet in AMA racing after his original team lost sponsorship and wasn't able to keep him on competitive equipment. Damian made his debut with Paradigm Racing at Barber Motorsports Park, put in in Superpole in his first weekend on the bike (and at Barber) and finished 8th in Sunday's race. He backed that up with an 11th/10th at the just concluded AMA round at Infineon Raceway. The hound has been blooded, as Damo would say!

Instructor Angie Loy won the inaugural all-female AFM Formula AFemme race in her first race ever at Infineon. Rock on Pony!

In his defense of the AFM #1 plate, Instructor David Stanton is still coming to grips with his new 2009 R1. (We don't understand, as Spies seems to be doing ok on his :)) Dave made some progress during AMA Promoter practice at Infineon, and hopes to up the ante at Round 3 of the Championship. He spent the AMA Infineon weekend filling in for Pridmore in his 2-up ride duties with the Michael Jordan Motorsports Racer Experience. Damian Cudlin was entrusted with the task at the Barber AMA Round.
