From a press release issued by Proforma:
HAS/SHOGUN RACING TESTS AT INFINEON RACEWAY PRIOR TO AMA NATIONAL THIS
WEEKEND
HAS/Shogun Racing riders Heath Small and John Haner tested at Infineon Raceway last weekend, competing in an AFM North event in anticipation of Round Three of the AMA Chevy Trucks U.S. Superbike Championship, coming up this weekend May 1-4 at the Nothern California facility. Neither rider had been to this facility before, so the track time that they each got was valuable in learning the twisty 11-turn track, even though the event was shortened due to rain on Sunday afternoon. Both Small and Haner compared
Infineon Raceway favorably to one of their favorite tracks back in their native Texas, Oak Hill Raceway.
“I like it, I like it a lot,” said Heath Small, who rode only one of his two Yamaha R6s to get familiar with the track. “It’s a lot like Oak Hill, with the elevation changes and the blind corners. I only got two races in, but I got down to some respectable times. I also got more seat time on the new bike, which is a big plus.” Look for Heath on his #278 Yamaha R6 in the AMA 600 Supersport class.
John Haner simply rolled his Suzuki GSX-R750 out of the trailer and rode it without changes from the last event. “The bike wasn’t set up, I just rode it to the bike’s potential as it was,” said Haner. “The track’s cool, it’s my kind of track. I got some valuable time. I was about eight-tenths off the fast time of the day, so I feel good going into Thursday’s promoter
practice.” Haner will compete on his #44 Suzuki GSX-R750 in the AMA 750 Superstock class.
