Rumors circulating during last weekend’s AMA Nationals at Road Atlanta that WERA will run an alternative series for the MIC are untrue. That’s the word from WERA Motorcycle Roadracing President and owner Evelyne Clarke. “I’ve not talked to anybody at the MIC,” Clarke told Roadracingworld.com in a phone interview this afternoon. “Nobody from the MIC has contacted me.” However, Clarke said that American Suzuki Vice President Mel Harris did ask her about running races. “He said, ‘If we call on you to run it, can you do it?’ I told him, ‘Only if the money is right, because WERA can’t take on anything like that.’ They would have to back us 100% for us to even think about undertaking that. “I think its funny that they’re batting our name around, using it for leverage. If somebody came to me with a boatload of money and said, ‘We want you to run some races for us,’ I’d probably consider that pretty seriously but it hasn’t happened so that’s all speculation. “That’s where it’s at. I don’t have financial commitments from anybody to do anything. Until I have that, I’m not doing anything. So that’s the bottom line with WERA at this point.”
