The AMA may not return to New Hampshire International Speeday in Loudon, New Hampshire and the event may become part of the Formula USA Series instead.

AMA Pro Racing officials have discussed not returning to the track.

Preparing for that possibility, NHIS officials have been talking to Formula USA about running the annual race under F-USA sanction.

According to NHIS Motorcycle Safety Director Jerry Wood, if the race converts to F-USA sanction, it will be advertised as being held “rain or shine”.

Wood says that racebikes built to F-USA spec can be safely ridden around the Loudon track in the wet.

Asked if Formula USA is talking to NHIS, F-USA Director of Road Racing Bill Syfan said, “We’ve talked to them, but we talk to them every year.”

Asked if F-USA would race in the rain at Loudon with its National Road Race Series, Syfan said “LRRS (Loudon Road Racing Series) races in the rain, and LRRS is a CCS affiliate.”

CCS sportsman events are sanctioned by Formula USA, as are the professional events that make up the Formula USA National Road Race Series.
