Copyright 2004, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. The finale of the 2004 WERA National Endurance Series will have a special entry in Friday’s four-hour event, Team Schwantz School. Listed as riding for the team are: 1993 500cc Grand Prix World Champion Kevin Schwantz, 1989 AMA Superbike Champion Jamie James and 2003 AMA Formula Xtreme Champion Ben Spies. Update: Also riding for the team will be Schwantz Suzuki School instructor Harry Vanderlinden and actual team owner Russell Masecar. The team will ride a Suzuki GSX-R750 on Michelin tires. Spies, a Dunlop-sponsored rider, got special permission from Dunlop to do the one-off race. “It was Vanderlinden’s idea, because him and Russell Masecar raced a round of the series at VIR earlier this year,” Schwantz told Roadracingworld.com. “Then Spies just started wearing me out, “‘Let’s race! Let’s race! Let’s race!'” “We’re just doin’ it for fun,” said Spies, who is at Road Atlanta in conjunction with the introduction of the 2005 GSX-R1000.
