Jake Zemke has reached a new, two-year deal with American Honda and will ride AMA Supersport and Formula Xtreme for Erion Honda in 2003. That’s the word from American Honda Racing Teams Manager Chuck Miller, who added that he is also close to coming to terms with Alex Gobert to put the 19-year-old Australian on an Erion Honda CBR600RR for 2003. Gobert, however, will not ride in Formula Xtreme.

Miller said he is currently in the process of signing crew members and arranging the composition of the different Honda teams.

Zemke is currently training with Erion Honda teammate Roger Lee Hayden in the Pacific Northwest. The pair plan to participate as guest instructors at Danny Walker’s American Supercamp flat track school September 26-30 in Vancouver, Washington before heading South to race in the Formula USA Pro Singles dirt track races in Del Mar, California October 5.
