Dirt Flies
at the NASMOTO Ohio ATV SuperMoto GP
Located Down the Road from the AMA Head Quarters
Santa Monica, CA (6/13/2007) - The
third round of the NASMOTO SuperMoto Grand Prix kicks
off Saturday, June 16, 2007 with the Wheeling Cycle
Supply Presents NASMOTO Ohio SuperMoto GP at the famed
Circleville Raceway Park in Circleville, Ohio.
The asphalt section of the raceway contains a 7/10s
mile road course and features a challenging dirt section
with table tops, banked turns and whoops. Circleville
Raceway Park is located on U.S. Route 23 just 20 minutes
south of Columbus, Ohio at 19413 S.R. 23 N. Circleville,
Ohio.
Factory Yamaha SuperMoto racer Mark Burkhart considers
Circleville his home track and routinely practices at
the facility between his AMA SuperMoto Championship
rounds. "It?s a tight and wide track with a couple
long straights, which is a lot of fun to race on,"
said Mark Burkhart. "Fans can stand along the fence
and not miss any of the action or sit on the bleachers
that are positioned around the dirt section."
The top Pro-Am riders from the Midwest are expected
to compete in this Regional Qualifier to become eligible
for a berth at the NASMOTO AMA SuperMoto Grand Championships,
