A
note from Merrill Vanderslice,
Director
of Professional Competition, AMA Pro Racing
For over 75
years, AMA racers, officials and staff have worked to build a
legacy of hard-fought competition and spectator excitement. That
legacy has brought forth many of the world's top motorcycle racers,
and some of the most memorable moments in motorcycling history.
We're glad you're here today, to witness an elite field of racers
in pursuit of the internationally renowned AMA National Championship
title.
Whether its
the extreme thrills of AMA EA Sports Supercross or the AMA Chevy
Trucks U.S. Motocross Championships, the All-American heritage
of the AMA Progressive Insurance U.S. Flat Track Championships,
or the high-tech intensity of the AMA Chevy Trucks U.S. Superbike
Championship, AMA Pro Racing series have one thing in common:
they deliver the best motorcycle racing the nation, and the world,
has to offer.
As the U.S.
affiliate of the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM),
AMA Pro Racing has the honor of hosting the U.S. round of the
FIM World Superbike Championship. Our FIM membership also allows
riders from other nations to compete in AMA races, and provides
an avenue for U.S. riders to compete in FIM World Supercross/Motocross,
World Superbike, World Grand Prix and World Speedway races. Our
partnership with the FIM ensures that AMA Pro Racing events are
truly world-class.
We hope you'll
also follow your favorite AMA Pro Racing series from home, on
TV or via the internet. You can catch all the action, including
broadcast times, immediate race results, rider stories and the
