With five race dates scheduled at the premier multi-purpose racing venue in the Pacific Northwest, a streamlined class structure for maximum seat time, and money-saving deals for members — the Stars of PGP Motorsports Series should be your first choice for two-wheel racing.
The 2011 edition of the SuperMoto Series features at least 8 classes — SMJR, 250/400F, Open Am, 450, 35+ Veteran, Pro with 100% pay back ($40 fee), Unlimited, Asphalt only — and we’ll offer a place for Quads if the need develops. We haven’t forgotten Pee Wee riders, either: they will run during breaks in the program.
Scheduled race dates are:
· Round 1 Sunday, April 17
· Round 2 Saturday, June 11
· Round 3 Saturday, July 16
· Round 4 Saturday, Aug. 20
· Round 5 Sunday, Aug. 21
All classes are $75 for the first entry, with a second entry $25 more and the third one FREE for members. Spectators are welcome on the hilltop free of charge. Additionally, licensed riders will enjoy reduced pricing for practice days (see more below) and we’ll provide details soon about the ever-expanding list of contingencies and other incentives now being developed.
New for this year is an exclusive practice session for Stars of SuperMoto riders from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Friday before a scheduled event. Series racedays will follow our tried-and-true format, with gates open at 7 a.m. and practice at 9 a.m., followed by the very popular computer-scored qualifying, heat races and final events for all classes. The day will conclude with an awards ceremony.
The opening round on April 17 will be the day after the Seattle AMA SuperCross event at Qwest Field and PGP is working to take advantage of this by getting some celebrity riders out to have some fun in a charity event and rental kart race during the lunch break.
The final PGP race of the year will also be a national series event finale with a large purse that is sure to get riders from all over the West Coast. This event will be produced in conjunction with Brok McAllister and SuperMoto USA, with the intent to once again get a national series up and running. There will be a lot of additional information coming out about this separately.
As an added bonus, PGP will operate a new Wednesday night Stars of Motorsports Series that will include two SuperMoto classes (Open and DRZ/Street) in addition to two kart classes (Shifter and Rotax), Rental Karts, Drifting and timed SCCA-style Lap Attacks. You can race your car, bike and a Rental Kart all on the same night! Schedule dates for the Wednesday motorsports series are:
· May 18
· June 15
· July 20
· Aug. 31
SuperMoto racing at PGP competes on the full .82-mile course configuration and will of course include the technical but forgiving dirt section. Although the event is rain-or-shine, in the event of rain, all laps will be run only on the asphalt track. A diagram of the course, series primer, raceday schedule and complete rules and regulations can be found at www.pacificgp.com.
And don’t forget that all PGP Motorsports events are now available on line live so you can have all your friends and family follow along live or later “on demand” if they are not able to attend in person.
