At the International Motorcycle Show at Long Beach, California December 7-9, California Speedway had a small table set up to promote the upcoming AMA Superbike race in April. Bob Elia from the speedway’s promotions department was manning the booth, mainly distributing lists of ticket prices for the Superbike race, although Elia said tickets are not on sale yet.
Tickets for adults will range between $60 for a two-day General or Preferred Admission ticket to $70 for a three-day Preferred pass. Children under 12 will be admitted to General Admission free all weekend but will pay the price of an adult for a seat in the Preferred area. Elia said that the track would be putting up temporary seating for at least 10,000 fans in the new infield road course section.
The flyer Elia was distributing listed the weekend’s activities as:
Friday, April 5 – Practice
Saturday, April 6 – Sprint Races
Sunday, April 7 – Championship Series Race
California Speedway is listed on the 2002 AMA schedule as hosting a Superbike double-header. The program should include the normal double header format of a Superbike, a 750cc Supersport and a Formula Xtreme race on Saturday with another Superbike race, the 250cc Grand Prix and 600cc Supersport final on Sunday.
On another note, Elia said that they would have what may be a first-ever event during the 2002 season. Elia said that during one race weekend in 2002, California Speedway will have a Grand Am car race on the infield course and an IRL race on the Speedway’s oval the very next day.
