From a press release issued by Proforma:
HAS/SHOGUN RACING IS READY FOR ROAD ATLANTA
HAS/Shogun Racing riders John Haner and Heath Small are both looking forward to Round Four of the AMA Chevy Trucks U.S. Superbike Championship, coming up this weekend May 16-18 at Road Atlanta. Both riders have continued with their personal training programs since the last event at Infineon Raceway.
In addition, John has worked with tuner Steve Upchurch of Motion CycleSports on the R&D of his Suzuki GSX-R750 while Heath tested his Yamaha R6 with Jim Cambora at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX. Each has previous track experience at Road Atlanta, and John was the 2002 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Cup Final winner from last October’s WERA Grand National Finals.
“We’ve found a little more power in my 750,” said Haner. “We also went through my ‘A’ chassis after my tip-over at Infineon, and everything is good to go now. I really like Road Atlanta, I’ve done well there in the past.”
Haner is currently ninth in points in the hotly contested AMA Genuine Suzuki Accessories Superstock class.
“I was glad to get more time on the R6 at Cresson, we sure didn’t get much at Sears Point (Infineon Raceway, where practice and qualifying at the previous round had to be eliminated due to two days of rain),” said Small.
“Jim and I found some things in the suspension at Cresson that will definitely help at Road Atlanta. More than anything, it helped to get more time on the bike at a track that I know well. I am learning so much this year, it’s amazing.”
HAS/Shogun Racing is proud to be sponsored by Shogun Motorsports, Motion CycleSports, Pirelli Tires, Yoshimura R&D, Sharkskinz Racing Bodies, Vesrah Brakes, Vortex, Dynojet, Woodcraft, Lockhart Phillips, Helimot Leathers and HJC Helmets.
