FMF partners with AMA Pro Racing in support of AMA Red Bull Supermoto
Championship
AMA Pro Racing press release
FMF, maker of high performance motorcycle parts and accessories,
will be a track signage sponsor in support of the AMA Red Bull
Supermoto Championship. FMF joins a growing list of leading
motorcycle industry companies aligning themselves with AMA Pro
Racing's newest championship.
Andy Leisner, AMA Pro Racing vice president, welcomes FMF's
involvement. "FMF has joined an elite group of companies that
have recognized the opportunities associated with the AMA Red Bull
Championship," said Leisner. "Their sponsorship package
will provide them with significant on-site exposure at each and
every round of the series, including the championship finale at Las
Vegas."
FMF's Danny LaPorte sees the sponsorship as a way for FMF to
continue growing their business by tapping into an all new market.
"Our success in the motocross and off-road categories is well
known," said LaPorte. "We believe supermoto is here to
stay and will ultimately be an important part of the motorcycle
marketplace. It's imperative for us to test our products in the
competition for which they were designed. That allows us to build
the best possible products to benefit our customers. We'll be
involved with AMA Pro Racing's Supermoto series as both a sponsor
and participant." LaPorte himself raced at the opening round.
The AMA Red Bull Supermoto Championship launched at Mazda Raceway
Laguna Seca on July 11-13. The six-race series will conclude in Las
Vegas on Nov. 21, 2003. Round 2 of the series is set for Aug. 30 at
South Boston Speedway in South Boston, Va. The championship finale
will be held in conjunction with the annual AMA Pro Racing Awards
Banquet. For more information about the AMA Red Bull Supermoto
