From a press release:

AMA SANCTIONED MOTORCYCLE ROADRACE AT ARROYO SECO MOTORPLEX

SANDIA MOTORCYCLE ROADRACING INC. (SMRI), AN AMA CHARTERED ROAD RACING ORGANIZATION, WILL BE STAGING ITS FINAL RACES OF THE 2001 SEASON AT ARROYO SECO MOTORPLEX OCTOBER 27-28.

SMRI has staged five races, made up of 17 classes, in its inaugural year of AMA sanctioned road racing at Sandia Motorsports Park located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Racer turnout has ranged from 30 to 40 riders, with family and pit support, per event weekend representing Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. Paying spectators averaged 200 per event.

This is an invitation to all racers interested in participating at our Arroyo Seco event. We will have Michelin-Pirelli tire support provided by Vanmar Racing based in Denver, Colorado. Vanmar supports all MRA events as well as the recent AMA National at PPIR in Colorado Springs where they serviced over 200 wheels during the weekend. They have a considerable amount of expertise and have supported our series this season. For more information concerning Vanmar Racing contact Tamara or Mark at [email protected].

We will also provide our Rider Certification Class on Saturday, October 27 for all unlicensed novices and experts as well as licensed novices and experts from organizations not recognized by SMRI as listed in the rule book (rule book online at WWW.SMRI-RACING.ORG). The class is $125 and required to race in our organization. The class consists of a classroom session and track session taught by SMRI expert riders. Mark Schellinger, former AMA Pro racer and owner of Vanmar Racing, will also be involved with class instruction. For more info concerning the class contact Johnathan Butterman at [email protected] for questions and registration.

Trophies will be awarded to the top three finishers in each class and a cash payout will go to the
top three finishers in the GRANDMA’S MUSIC AND SOUND NEW MEXICO CHAMPIONSHIP UNLIMITED GP. Payout is dependent on the number of entries. All entry fees for the Unlimited GP go into the payout.

For more information concerning SMRI visit our website at WWW.SMRI-RACING.ORG. The rule book and registration forms are all online. Pre-registration is highly recommended to speed day of race registration and to avoid a 25.00 day of race registration fee.

Thanks for your attention and I hope to see many of you at our event.

Juan Romero, President
SMRI
