While several AMA teams traveled to Road Atlanta to test last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Southern California-based Graves Motorsports made the relatively short trip to Sears Point Raceway in Sonoma, California and tested with Aaron Gobert and Damon Buckmaster last Friday.
HMC Ducati’s Steve Rapp also rode at Sears Point on Friday, during a Dp Track Day organized by former racer Dennis Pegelow.
HMC Ducati skipped the Road Atlanta tests because, according to owner Mitch Hansen, the team is still in the midst of finding a second rider and is spending the break between Daytona and Sears Point relocating into a new race shop.
The Ducati ridden by Rapp at the Dp day was not a full Superbike, but rather a modified streetbike.
