AMA Pro Racing press release

AMA Pro Racing, the leading sanctioning body for motorcycle sport in the U.S., announced today the launch of www.AMASupermoto.com -- a new website dedicated to complete coverage of the AMA Supermoto Championship. The official series website will serve as the premier source for official news about the AMA Supermoto Championship and marks another example of AMA Pro Racing's continuing commercial development efforts to grow its motorcycle racing brands.

AMASupermoto.com is the fourth series-specific website built by AMA Pro Racing in the last three years. www.1800FlatTrack.com (also available as www.AMAFlatTrack.com) was launched in March 2001 as the official website of the AMA Progressive Insurance Flat Track Championship; www.USMotocross.com was launched in April 2002 as the official website of the AMA Chevrolet Motocross Championship; and www.USSuperbike.com, the official website of the AMA Chevrolet Superbike Championship, was unveiled in March of 2003.

The content make-up of AMASupermoto.com will follow the successful model used in the three other AMA Pro Racing series websites, which includes:

• Official up-to-the-minute, post-race results, points standings and lap times.

• Near real-time, lap-by-lap online scoring with AMA Pro Racing’s exclusive @theWire LIVE! timing system.

• Unique round-by-round navigation allowing easier and faster access to event-specific information.

• News and photos from each race updated throughout the race weekend by established USSuperbike.com contributor Chris Martin and noted photographer Ray Gundy.

• Access to the complete line of official AMA Pro Racing merchandise and authentic series and rider apparel.

• Fan feedback opportunities such as a weekly letters-to-the-editor section, online polls, free classifieds, and more.

• Official historical information and statistics covering the newly founded AMA Supermoto Championship.

If past experience is any indicator, AMASupermoto.com should be a hit with fans. “The response we’ve gotten about our series websites has been extremely positive,” said Matt Ringlien, AMA Pro Racing Web Content & Development Manager. “Supermoto racing is so new, that there’s not too much out there for AMA Supermoto racing fans. We hope that AMASupermoto.com can become a leader in that area and as the sanctioning body, it's our obligation to the sport, fans, sponsors and the riders to cover the series more completely, and more officially, than anyone."

In December 2000, AMA Pro Racing launched an aggressive Internet strategy setting the stage for 1800FlatTrack.com, USMotocross.com, USSuperbike.com and now AMASupermoto.com.

www.amaproracing.com, the official website of AMA Pro Racing, has since been refocused and is now a primary communication channel to the sanctioning body's participants and teams, as well as a launching point for content on all four series websites.
