Asbury NJ – N2 Track Days and WERA Motorcycle Roadracing are getting ready for the Steel City Superbike Challenge and WERA National Challenge Series at Pittsburgh International Raceway Complex (PIRC) slated for July 15-17, 2016.

Racers riding in either the Saturday or Sunday events may enroll in the WERA race license school for an additional fee (track day and race school are purchased separately).

The endurance race is broken down into three race categories: heavyweight, middleweight and lightweight and will offer a guaranteed purse of $10,000 to be divided equally among the three groups. Payouts will be made to the top 3 finishes in each category. The specific rules governing this event can be found on the N2 roadracing website. Online registration will be available in April, look for further announcements.
