West Coast Moto Jam Set for May at Infineon Raceway SONOMA, Calif. (Feb. 10, 2010) Infineon Raceway’s traditional spring motorcycle weekend will have a new look and feel in 2010, as well as a new name. The West Coast Moto Jam will take place May 14-16 and boasts a little bit of everything on two wheels, highlighted by the best motorcycle road racers in the country from AMA Pro Road Racing. But the action won’t be limited to the world-famous road course. The weekend will also feature Supermoto, Flat Track and Motocross. Plus, the raceway will host the first-ever zero-carbon motorcycle race in the United States with the TTXGP U.S. Championships. It’s simply one of the most comprehensive motorcycle weekends on the West Coast. “Northern California is home to enthusiasts of every kind of motorcycle racing and our vision for this event is to offer a unique menu of activity that will satisfy every one of their passions,” said Steve Page, president and general manager of Infineon Raceway. AMA Pro Road Racing The road course will be the site for AMA Pro Road Racing with action in three divisions: American SuperBike, Daytona SportBike and Supersport. Each division will run main events on both Saturday and Sunday of race weekend, making for a jam-packed program on the road course. TTXGP U.S.Championships Infineon Raceway will host the first-ever zero-carbon motorcycle race in the United States with the TTXGP U.S. Championships. Azhar Hussain, founder of TTXGP (Time Trial eXtreme Grand Prix), hopes to build on the success of a similar event hosted at the Isle of Man in Europe last June. Supermoto USA The Infineon Raceway Karting Center will also come alive with Supermoto USA, which will compete for the fifth consecutive year. Competitors will navigate the three-quarter mile, 16-turn course, which is a combination of dirt and asphalt. It’s one of the most challenging circuits on the series’ schedule. Motocross Motocross, which was a highly-popular addition to the race weekend in 2008, returns after a one-year hiatus. Racing will be featured in vintage, amateur and endurance divisions. Legendary rider Brad Lackey, who won the 1982 World Motocross Championship, will team with McAllister Motorsports to host the event. More than 300 riders are expected for this three-day event. Flat Track Finally, Flat Track will take place on a quarter-mile oval created behind the Turn 9 Terrace with Eddie Mulder’s West Coast Dirt Track Series. This marks the first Flat Track event at Infineon Raceway in more than 20 years. Racing will span all weekend. May 12-13 You won’t have to wait until Friday to take part in the fun. Festivities begin on Wednesday, May 12, with a 3J’s Motorcycle Track Day (www.3jsmotorcycledays.com), with all proceeds benefitting Speedway Children’s Charities, the charitable arm of Infineon Raceway. That night, get ready for motorcycle drag racing on the quarter-mile strip. The 5th annual Leo Vince Grape Crushers Run takes place on Thursday, May 13.
