Waterford, MI (4/30/2007) - Four
Wheel Supermoto? “Bring On The ATVs!,”
says Detroit Supermoto Promoter Tom Zielinski.
The more the merrier when it comes to extreme
powersports racing at Waterford Hills Raceway
for the second annual Detroit Supermoto scheduled
for the weekend of July 7th.
AMA ATV members in good standing are welcome to
join the action, racing their quads on the same
track the AMA Supermoto Championship pros will
race on Sunday, July 8th.
“A heck of a lot more people own quads around
here than dirt bikes,” said Zielinski. “I
thought to myself ‘What the heck. I like
to watch a good race regardless of how many tires
the thing has!’”
Wheel-to-wheel racing on the sturdy yet fast quads
should make for yet another exciting aspect of
the weekend-long Detroit Supermoto for fans in
attendance. Not only is it the first of its kind
opportunity in Detroit, a hot bed for ATV sales
since they hit the market in the late 1980s, but
no doubt the first opportunity to do this on such
a national scale for amateur quad owners and bike
owners alike.
“I know there’s going to be a bunch
of quad racers in this region that’ll be
chomping at the bit to get at this AMA Supermoto
track,” said Zielinski. “And we’re
gonna turn ‘em loose and see just what they
can do.”
Same as for the dirt bikers, Supersports, located
in Waterford, Mich., will soon add a page to its
website that will allow ATV owners to update their
machines with the basic means necessary to race
on AMA Supermoto amateur day. No need to invest
in $1,500 leathers, over-sized rotors made of
high grade unobtanium and everything else the
tricked-out pro bikes have.
“From head-to-toe safety equipment from
EVS Ballistic jerseys and skateboard-style knee
pads, elbow and hip pads, you can basically come
out and race in jeans and a long sleeve T-shirt,”
said Zielinski. “Our goal is to introduce
as many quad racers as we can to the sport of
AMA Supermoto – from a participatory angle.
And at the same time allowing technically nothing
more than swapping out some tires in our Sportsman
class!”
Keep an eye out on Supersports.com’s website
for the Detroit Supermoto “Pimp My ATV”
page, including everything you’ll need to
modify your quad in order to race amateur day
July 7th.
With camping available the Detroit Supermoto amateur
race can easily be a destination for motocross
enthusiasts. Entries are limited, so grab a buddy
