Resurrected! CMRA Back at Texas World Speedway with Gatorade
Due to a construction delay, Texas World Speedway in College Station, Texas, has been given a reprieve, and the Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association (CMRA) will be back in action this coming weekend, October 9 – October 11, 2015. The track is located just south of Bryan/College Station on Highway 6. Texas World Speedway, one of only seven Super Speedways in the US, is composed of two road courses: a 1.8-mile short course and a 2.9-mile long course. Race fans will see both courses utilized this weekend.
The weekend activities begin at 7:00 a.m. Friday with a CMRA License school, racer practice and street-rider track day provided by Lone Star Track Days (www.lstd.com).
Gatorade has generously sponsored the resurrection weekend event by providing sports drink product for the entire racing paddock for Saturday and Sunday’s racers as a great tie to their “Sweat With The Best” contest. Each specially marked bottle of sports drink has a code under the cap to use to win instant prizes or enter a chance to win one of 50 epic athletic experiences. Go to SweatWithTheBest.com for more information and how to use the cap codes.
Saturday’s schedule begins with a full slate of Mini and Lightweight Sprint races, including the Altus Motorsports-sponsored 500 SuperSport, Unlimited GP, and Rainbow Sox Racing-sponsored Junior Motard class for the youngest racers, ages 8-12 years old. The 4th round of the CMRA Ultra-Lightweight Endurance Series, a 6-hour race, begins promptly at 10:45 a.m. on the 2.9 mile course. Racing concludes with the 3rd and final round of the Race Tire Services – Team 60 race, at 5:30 p.m. also on the 2.9 mile course. A trophy presentation and meet and greet is a welcome finish to the full day of racing.
Sunday’s schedule is jam-packed with a full day’s worth of competitive Big Bike Sprint races. Among the exciting classes not to be missed is the Breast Cancer Research Foundation / P1 Racing Formula 1 Expert class. In addition to a cash purse totaling $11,000 paid out to the top Formula 1 Expert finishers over the course of the 2015 season, a portion of each entry fee is donated to Breast Cancer Research. A few of the other weekend purse paying classes include, Race Tire Services – Team 60 HW, MW, LW ($$$), 212Decals.com – A Superbike Expert ($150) and South Central Race Center – C Superstock Expert ($185).

Ride your street bike to the event and you’ll pay just $5 for entry on both Saturday and Sunday! Kids 12 and under are free. A spectator lap of the track will be conducted during the lunch break on Sunday, schedule and weather permitting.
