MotoAmerica: Scholtz Racing In Supersport Championship

Former longtime Westby Racing Yamaha Superbike rider Mathew Scholtz has found a new ride in the MotoAmerica Supersport Championship with Strack Racing, the team formerly known as Squid Hunter Racing.

For years, Scholtz was one of the top riders in MotoAmerica Superbike, winning five races and earning 52 podium finishes over his seven years in the class. But in December 2023, Westby Racing suddenly pulled the plug on its program due to team patriarch Tryg Westby’s health issues.

Scholtz, who was in his native South Africa on holiday at the time, was suddenly left without a ride after eight seasons with the team.

Scholtz, who was at Daytona International Speedway as a spectator, told RoadracingWorld.com that he could not comment other than say that he will be racing in 2024. In a follow-up conversation, Scholtz identified the team as being “the team that was Squid Hunter Racing.”

In another discussion, Peter Strack said, “I’m the team owner.”

The Squid Hunter team raced in Supersport with Josh Hayes in 2023.
