Dan Murphy of RPM (Race Promotion Management), which promotes the World Superbike race at Laguna Seca, asked Roadracingworld.com readers to help decide which AMA riders should get the six World Superbike entries available for Laguna Seca July 11-14.
Eric Bostrom is guaranteed an entry because he’s been racing in the World Superbike Series already. Ben Bostrom and Colin Edwards are World Superbike regulars. So they don’t count against the six available entries.
The following nine AMA Superbike riders have submitted entries. Only six will be accepted.
1. Nicky Hayden
2. Aaron Yates
3. Anthony Gobert
4. Miguel Duhamel
5. Pascal Picotte
6. Jamie Hacking
7. Mat Mladin
8. Doug Chandler
9. Kurtis Roberts
