Tony “The Tiger” Meiring will ride for the Hayward Kawasaki team on a ZX-6R in this Saturday’s AFM 4-hour at Sears Point Raceway.
Meiring joins Hayward Kawasaki owner Ken Hill and Michael Hannas on the team.
“Yeah, I’m doing it,” said Meiring Friday morning. “I really just want to get some track time on a race-prepped bike, and it should be fun.”
The Hayward Kawasaki team faces strong competition from the Scuderia West team of AMA 250cc Grand Prix Champion Chuck Sorensen, former AMA Pro Thunder Champion Tom Montano and Hawk Mazzotta, riding an Aprilia RSV1000.
Other strong contenders in a tough field of pre-entries should include:
–Bubba Gump Racing with James Randolph, David Kunzelman, Mark Foster and Scott Baker on a Suzuki GSX-R1000.
–Brute Force with Doug Pitcock, Jeff Bostrom and Corey Eaton on a Suzuki GSX-R750.
–Schmoople Racing with Michael Earnest and Mike Raab on a Suzuki GSX-R1000.
–Blue Streak with Dave Stanton, Richard Slejmar and Scott Wilson on a Suzuki GSX-R750.
–Scuderia West Racing Uno with James Lickwar, Brian Parriott and Steve Engelbrecht on an Aprilia RSV1000.
Another interesting team consists of Vincent Haskovec, Jeff Dixon, Art Chambers and Larry Pointer on a GSX-R1000, with Haskovec replacing Jeff Hagan, who has to miss the race on a business assignment.
