LEE ACREE TO DEBUT ON ERA YAMAHAS IN FORMULA USA EVENT AT VIRGINIA

Lee Acree will race his 2003 ERA Yamaha R6s for the first time this weekend, June 27-29, in round four of the Formula USA National Championship Series at Virginia International Raceway. Acree will campaign the new Yamahas for the rest of the 2003 season, competing in AMA Pro, WERA, and Formula USA/CCS events.

“I’m looking forward to the second half of 2003,” said Acree. “I had strong finishes earlier in the year, particularly at Daytona and Sears Point, so I want to carry that momentum into the rest of this year on the Yamahas. My sponsors have really come through for me, and I’m looking forward to racing the new R6s, which have been the bike to beat since they came out. It doesn’t hurt that they have a really strong contingency program as well.”

Lee Acree and ERA Yamaha are proud to be sponsored by Triad Powersport, Pirelli, Graves Motorsports, Sidi, Arai, Joe Rocket, Kneedraggers.com, Dynojet, Ohlins USA, Tapeworks and Vesrah.
