From a press release:

Grand Bayou Circuit to Host Motorcycle Road Racing with the WERA National Series

Belle Rose, La.- WERA Motorcycle Roadracing will kick off its National Endurance and National Challenge Series next weekend, April 6-7, at No Problem Raceway Park’s Grand Bayou Circuit, Louisiana’s newest racetrack.

The four-hour WERA/GMD Computrack National Endurance Series race gets the green flag on Saturday at 12:30 pm. The race features plenty of pit stop action, as each team has to stop for fuel and a rider change several times throughout the race.

At the top of the field, Vesrah Suzuki will be defending their 2001 championship on a Suzuki GSX-R 1000. Vesrah competes in the Heavyweight Superbike class, which features the biggest, fastest bikes in the Series. Four other classes are also featured, so fans will be able to see a broad range of motorcycles competing in the endurance race.

The National Challenge Series races will take place on Sunday. Each sprint race will consist of 10 laps around the 1.8-mile, 14-turn Grand Bayou Circuit. The 12 races on Sunday are divided up according to each class of bike and novice and expert racer groups. Fans will be treated to constant on-track action from some of the best motorcycle racers in the United States.

A number of 2001 champions will be returning to defend their titles. Mark Junge will be back in the Open Superstock and 600cc Superstock classes, and Scott Harwell returns to 750cc Superstock and Heavyweight Twins. Jason Peters will also be defending his title in the 125cc Grand Prix class on board his Honda RS125.

RPM, WERA’s southwestern affiliate, is assisting WERA with the event. Many of RPM’s South Central Region racers will be at the Grand Bayou Circuit this weekend, allowing fans to see some top local talent.

Tickets are available for $20 for the weekend and $10 on Sunday. Camping is available, also, and the Grand Bayou Circuit has full amenities for fans that are camping.
