From a press release:
Robert Jensen to race Tul-aris in 2003 while Steve Johnson gears up for next MotoDynamics project.
Long-time Tul-aris development racer and track record holder Steve Johnson has handed off the Tul-aris GP bike to accomplished AMA Supersport and Superbike racer Robert Jensen.
Robert first tested the Tul-aris earlier this year and has committed to racing the Tul-aris at select Formula USA, CCS and CRA races. Robert will compete on the Tul-aris in the Formula USA Unlimited GP class. In addition, Robert will compete on Yamaha R6 and R1 machines in Supersport and Superbike classes, for which the Tul-aris is not legal.
We’re excited to see Robert give the Tul-aris “the stick” at our next races at Mid-America Raceway in Iowa on April 11-13 and Road America Raceway in Wisconsin April 25-27. Robert is the current track record holder at Mid-America Raceway and we look forward to him aiming for that record on the Tul-aris.
In the meantime, Steve Johnson will concentrate on the development of next project run by MotoDynamics, the Tul-aris team’s racing business. Details of this new MotoDynamics racing project will be announced shortly.
