Former Canadian Superbike Champions Steve Crevier and Francis Martin will race in the full AMA Superbike series in 2005.

“Diablo (Paintballs) wants to do the AMA series. They want to branch out in America and get more exposure,” Crevier told Roadracingworld.com Monday at Daytona International Speedway. Crevier rode for Diablo Suzuki for the past two Canadian Superbike seasons. “We’re going to focus on the AMA Superbike class. We’re gonna have a hard time, but we’re gonna try.”

Crevier said the team’s program had not been finalized at post time, but he said he hoped to be riding Suzuki GSX-R1000s on Dunlop tires again in 2005.
