Several AMA teams opened a two-day test this morning at Auto Club Speedway, in Fontana, California. Present and riding are (in no particular order): Larry Pegram on his Foremost Insurance Pegram Racing Ducati 1098R American Superbike. Aaron Yates on his Michael Jordan Motorsports Suzuki GSX-R1000 American Superbike. Jake Zemke, who is replacing Geoff May on the #54 National Guard Suzuki GSX-R1000 American Superbike. John Hopkins on the M4 Monster Suzuki GSX-R1000 American Superbike he first rode during a Fastrack Riders track day on Saturday, January 30 at Auto Club Speedway. 2009 AMA Daytona SportBike Champion Danny Eslick on his Geico Powersports RMR Suzuki GSX-R600. Taylor Knapp on his Ridersdiscount.com-sponsored ex-Mat Mladin Suzuki GSX-R1000 American Superbike. Tommy Hayden and Blake Young on their Rockstar Makita Suzuki GSX-R1000 American Superbikes. 2009 AMA American Superbike Championship runner-up Josh Hayes on his Graves Yamaha YZF-R1 factory American Superbike. Teammates Josh Herrin and Tommy Aquino on their Graves Motorsports Yamaha YZF-R6 Daytona SportBikes. Ben Bostrom and Chris Clark on their Pat Clark Motorsports Yamaha YZF-R1 American Superbikes, which are carrying sponsorship logos from the Palms hotel and casino and Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Dane Westby and Clinton Seller on their Project 1 Atlanta Yamaha YZF-R6 Daytona SportBikes. Steve Rapp on the same Moto Corse- and RSR-sponsored Latus Motors Racing Ducati 848 Daytona SportBike he used to win five WERA West races January 31 in Las Vegas. For some, like the Graves Yamaha squad, this test is one of many tests they have had during the off-season. For most of the other teams, this is the first and only test they will have before opening the 2010 season at Daytona International Speedway in March. Local weather forecasts call for a chance of rain on Tuesday, but the test opened with cool temperatures, light clouds in the sky and no wind.
