AMA Pro Racing Chief Operating Officer (COO) David Atlas announced at Friday’s riders meeting at the Suzuki White Lightning AMA Pro Superbike Nationals at VIRginia International Raceway that AMA Pro Road Racing classes will once again run in support of the FIM Superbike World Championship event at Miller Motorsports Park. That event is scheduled to once again take place over Memorial Day weekend (Saturday through Monday) May 28-30, 2011. In addition to the Superbike and Supersport World Championships, it is believed that the event will include all four current AMA Pro classes (National Guard Superbike, Daytona SportBike Presented by AMSOIL, SuperSport and Vance & Hines XR1200). A press release from AMA Pro Racing officially announcing these plans will be released soon, according to AMA Pro Racing officials. It is not known if the event will include the UtahSBA-sanctioned Larry H. Miller Superbike Challenge races. Atlas also informed entrants and participants at the meeting that officials at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca told him that they are working on bringing the Moto2 and 125cc World Championships to the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix in 2011. “When I asked about the consequences for us,” said Atlas, “I was told in a very polite way, and I respected it because it was candid, that for that to happen then the likelihood would be that they would only invite one of our classes back. That would create big issues for us, as far as I’m concerned. “They assured me they would know quickly. Point of fact, they still haven’t been told whether that’s possible. What it requires is bringing the Indy show [Indianapolis Motor Speedway] and the Laguna show closer together [on the calendar] so the European contingent comes over in a group [in one trip] and that way they can have the full compliment [of classes]. I just wanted to share that with you. I don’t know what the consequences are going to be. I just wanted to let you know that.” More, from a press release issued by Miller Motorsports Park: AMA Pro Racing Returning to Miller MotorsportsPark in 2011 Series to Make First Utah Appearance Since 2008 TOOELE VALLEY, UTAH (August 13, 2010) “” AMA Pro Racing will return to the Miller Motorsports Park schedule in 2011 and will join the FIM Superbike World Championship presented by HANNspree on Memorial Day weekend, May 28-30, 2011.
