From a press release:

DISALVO’S FIRST AMA PROFESSIONAL WIN

Jason DiSalvo, 18 year old from Stafford, New York raced to a hard fought first place in the Superstock 750 class at the beginning of an exciting weekend at Road America, Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin on Saturday, June 8th. Jason qualified third fastest for a front row starting position in the 750 superstock class and went on to win his first ever AMA professional race.

In the same afternoon Jason raced his superstock in the AMA superbike first round. Having qualified 12th overall with a row 3 starting position, he worked his way up through the pack to finish 9th overall behind eight factory machines giving him the top privateer status.

Also on Saturday, Jason qualified third in the 250GP class and on Sunday in the final event raced with multi-time National Champion Rich Oliver for second place only to be cut short in the last lap by a broken gearbox. Jason was still able to bring his Honda RS250 in at the end for a third place with his second podium for the weekend.

Continuing a very busy weekend on Sunday, June 9th Jason was grided again on row 3 for the second superbike round again continuing his battle behind the eight factory machines in a race long attempt to again be top privateer. Jason made a brave move in the last lap ending up in the gravel, unhurt he commented “It was a good race, I got on the brakes a little to late and ended up in the gravel.”

Jim DiSalvo commented “It was a great weekend for Jason, he raced a lot more races than originally planned and showed his ability and stamina to be able to finish all the events he entered. Our team of mechanics (James Siddall, Oliver Hutchinson, Michael Earnhardt, and Mark Bull) gave Jason fast equipment for all the races which lead to a successful weekend.”

The team will be back at its home base to prepare for the upcoming Brainerd races, June 29th -June 30th.
