For those of us going to Laguna Seca...they havent confirmed that yet...but I'll be going to Infineon in May

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (November 5, 2009) - AMA Pro Racing officials announced today the 2010 race schedule for the AMA Pro Superbike Championship that will see the series visit the foremost road courses in the United States. SPEED will once again serve as AMA Pro's broadcast partner.

The 2010 Superbike schedule will feature the two premier classes competing in nine confirmed events in key markets across the country. Negotiations are ongoing for a 10th race. Those details will be released in the near future.

The season will begin with the 69th annual Daytona 200 event weekend (March 3 - 5) under the lights at the "World Center of Racing." SPEED will air the Daytona 200 live on Friday, March 5.

The Daytona 200 will be the only endurance race on the 2010 schedule. The remaining events will be doubleheader weekends that host dual 50-mile races on Saturday and Sunday.

After the Daytona opener, AMA Pro begins the doubleheader sprint race schedule at Auto Club Speedway (March 26 - 28th) in Fontana, Calif., followed by a new event weekend date for Road Atlanta (April 16 - 18th). Infineon Raceway (May 14 - 16) hosts the series for Round 4. The halfway point of the season hits at Road America, which has once again reserved the historical date for the Elkhart Lake track (June 4 - 6).

The series will then visit Mid-Ohio (July 16-18th) before heading to Virginia International Raceway (August 13 - 15) on the same weekend for the fourth year in a row. The successful first year event over the Labor Day weekend at New Jersey Motorsports Park (September 3 - 5) looks to be repeated, and the series will close at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham (September 24 - 26).

Following the season-opener at Daytona, SPEED will air flag-to-flag same weekend coverage of the two premier classes. Highlights of the other classes competing during the race weekends will be shown during the broadcasts.

"SPEED is grateful for how the relationship works between the network and AMA Pro Racing," said SPEED President Hunter Nickell. "Everyone involved is committed and energized in the joint effort to deliver quality motorcycle racing coverage. We look forward to the 2010 racing season and to this continued partnership."

"It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the continuation of a great partnership with SPEED," said AMA Pro President Roger Edmondson. "Their commitment to the growth of our sport and their unique ability to capture the excitement that the athletes and machines of our sport put on display every race weekend made continuing our relationship an easy decision. With our broadcast partner in place and our schedule visiting the best venues in the United States, we expect 2010 to be a great year and look forward to kicking off the season in Daytona."

DMG are goat fuckers. Self imperious idiots.

And the AMA is not much better... Read the letter from Dinglghead in the "AMA "Motorcyclist" newsletter. The most important thing he can bring up is Jonny Rock Page? Really? Thats it? jeez.

Superbikes are not "the gay cars of tomorrow" or whatever the heck...

Laguna and Utah are not on the schedule because they both already have REAL motorcycle racing schedulled.

AMA was an emberrasment at Laguna last year. The international racing community laughed their asses off...

DMG sucks.

GO HAGA!!!!

WOW

Lots of AMA hating here...and trust me I get it with all the problems (I'm a Honda fan and they're not even there

)...BUT

I went to Infineon last year and had a frickin blast. Also went to Laguna and it was nice to have racing that filled the day and kept things going.

Its too bad WSBK cant run the same weekend at laguna...now THAT would be awesome.

So none of you guys are gonna follow AMA? The coverage can suck....but sometimes its not that bad either

just sayin..

Laguna should bring the MGP-2 class for good racing.
DMG is a joke.

AMA, worries about Johnny Rock Pages feeelings, while PACE CARS are nearly killing racers.

Nice to know they are there supporting riders.

Bet Dinglehead and Goat Rodeo Clown Edmoundson are drinking buddies.

Although I agree it would be a huge event, WSBK and Moto GP are competitors and I doubt that they want any direct side by side comparison...

Could be emberrassing for GP if the SBKs are faster on the Pirelli tires...

But what I wanna know is....
Will they be racing the Buell?
I mean, now that they are out of business, what's AMA/DMG gonna DO????
Are they going to let bikes from a dead company race? This could turn right into a circus.
Oh wait....
