Formula USA Pays Full Points and Splits Purse in Sportbike Class at Loudon Classic

80th Annual Loudon Classic, Loudon, NH (June 13, 2003)

Formula USA Officials this morning announced that the 2-leg Sportbike race format will pay full Championship points in each leg of the final event on Sunday, and that the $10,000 purse will be split evenly between the two legs. An additional $1,000 bonus will be added to the second leg, along with the $250 Traxxion Dynamics Holeshot Award.

The decision to pay full Championship points and the division of the purse was met with unanimous approval by the Sportbike class entrants. Additionally, the payment of full points will make up for the void created by the July TBA date, which was never confirmed.

Traxxion Dynamics Provides $250 “Holeshot Award”

Aurora, IL. — Formula USA Championship Series is proud to announce that Traxxion Dynamics has signed an agreement to provide a $250 Holeshot Award in the premier Formula USA “Sportbike” class. The agreement was made only days before Round 2 of the Formula USA Championship Series event at Mid-America Motorplex in Glenwood Iowa. The $250 award check will be presented to the first rider who makes it to the apex of the first turn at each round of the remaining Formula USA Sportbike events.

Defending Formula USA Grand Nat’l Champion Matt Wait received the $250 check, along with his second place race trophy, at Round 2 held at Mid-America Motorplex. Traxxion Dynamic’s mid-west rep Brian Baker, was also on site at Mid-America Motorplex providing professional suspension services for the racers, including most of the top professional race teams present.

Traxxion Dynamics performs racing upgrades on motorcycle suspension components for grand prix, road racing, and street motorcycles. Max McCallister adds, “We strive to provide the optimum suspension system available to each customer within his or her budget. We realize that everyone can’t ride on ‘factory’ suspensions. But, our goal is to make you feel like you are. We do everything from complete suspension packages to something as simple as a fork seal replacement. We will do whatever we can to see that you get around the track faster than you ever have before.” Traxxion Dynamics now has Ohlins suspension components available.
