ODENTON, MD July 3, 2007 The USGPRU is pleased to announce the formation of the USGPRU Apex Academy. The Academy is designed to help further the development of the youth roadracers in North America. At select USGPRU events, we will be hosting various national and international racing superstars as they combine on-track and off-track instruction focused on our young talent development. Riders such as Ben Bostrom, Eric Bostrom, Chaz Davies, and the 1993 World Champion, Kevin Schwantz have all agreed to help with this new effort. “The overwhelming response indicates that the Racing industry along with companies like Red Bull support what we are trying to do with the USGPRU” said series President Stewart Aitken-Cade. “There is some amazing talent in the youth racers racing with us today. By leveraging experiences of the pros, we can accelerate the kids’ learning process to make them even more competitive as they move up into the professional ranks.” The Red Bull riders, Eric Bostrom, and Ben Bostrom are scheduled for the Portland, Oregon round on July 15 at Portland Int’l Raceway for the USGPRU and OMRRA race weekend. Chaz Davies will do a little on-track training at Barber Motorsports Park, Aug 11-12 weekend with ASRA and USGPRU. Kevin Schwantz will be spending valuable face time with the kids at Road Atlanta, Aug 30. “We’re still looking to have more pros come out to the other events this year, and will continue on with the program again in ’08″, said Aitken-Cade.
