Team Roadracingworld.com Suzuki’s Chris Ulrich gave rides around Miller Motorsports Park’s 4.5-mile road course on his two-seat GSX-R1000 Superstock racebike to representatives from three Salt Lake City, Utah television stations on Friday. “It was amazing. Do I have any scrapes [on my knee pucks]? I heard Chris scrape his knee. I was just giggling the whole time,” laughed Vanessa Cheney, co-host of KJZZ-TV’s “The Home Team,” a daily morning show. “It was so neat because I would never have been able to know the feeling of this unless we got to experience it like this. I’m a big fan of Chris Ulrich’s now.” Danny Allen, Cheney’s co-host on “The Morning Show” and anchor of a new show called “KJZZ Cafe,” rode with Ulrich at Miller Motorsports Park in 2007 and enjoyed his ride so much he came back for a second time. “That’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. That was awesome!” said Creighton McEwen, who works for KUTV, Salt Lake City’s CBS network affiliate. Asked what stood out to him most about the ride, McEwen said, “The going and the stopping, the unbelievable forces, just holding on when he accelerates and pushing back when he hits the brakes. That, and the companion rider brushing you going over 100 mph. That was intense.” Ulrich’s teammate Robertino Pietri rode his GSX-R1000 Superstock racebike in close proximity to Ulrich during the rides to give the media guests a small sense of what is like to actually be racing. “That’s the fastest I’ve ever gone in my life!” said Ben Schroeder, producer for NBC television affiliate KSL. “I expected to go fast, but I didn’t know how it would feel really. Once we got onto the straightaways he got going, then when he hit the brakes you realized how fast he was going because it’s taking all of your muscles to brace you.” Asked what he thought of the mission of the Team Roadracingworld.com Suzuki two-seat program, which is to introduce local general-interest media to the sport of motorcycle road racing, Schroeder said, “You have to do this. One of the biggest problems for the media is they don’t get to be a part of this. Once they figure it out and once they learn it they become fans, or at least understand what’s going on, then they can tell the story better.” All three television stations brought camera crews to tape the rides.
