Kyle Wyman to Contest 2012 AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series

WALWORTH, NY (February 20, 2012) – In a partnership with Vesrah and
Kuryakyn, Kyle Wyman has reached an agreement to compete in the AMA Pro
Vance & Hines XR1200 Series. Wyman will run a KWR/Vesrah shod
Harley-Davidson XR1200 for his third season in the class.

“I’m very excited to have an opportunity to race in the XR1200 series
again for 2012. Vance & Hines and AMA Pro Racing have done a tremendous
job making it affordable to go racing, and this is exactly where I want
to be. I started racing a Harley when I was 15 with the XR750 flat track
bike, so I am right at home!”

Kyle competed in the XR1200 Series in 2011, earning his first career AMA
Pro victory in dramatic fashion at Daytona International Speedway, with
two more podium finishes at Mid-Ohio and NJMP and 5th position overall
in the championship.

“My goal for this year is to stay consistent, patient and apply what I
have learned over the course of two years in the class. I want to give
my sponsors the best exposure that I can offer, and with people like
Vesrah and Kuryakyn, they have given me the support to make it possible
to do just that!”

KWR has also gained support from Lenny Albin of Superbike Chassis, in
conjunction with Ohlins USA, for suspension technology support.

Kyle Wyman Racing is still seeking title sponsorship for efforts in the
XR1200 series. To request a marketing kit, contact Kyle directly through
www.kylewymanracing.com.

Stay tuned for more announcements in the coming weeks.

The Warm Up race allows riders to hit the track before the big national to get as many laps under their belt as possible before the big event. Some big names showed up this year to race so we hope to see them again at the Championship.

NMC: So how is a M1, Big Kahuna National different than other AMA races?

Cameron Gray: Our motto is come for the party, stay for the races. The racing is already good, all those talented riders out there are impressive atheletes and it’s always entertaining. Our other motto is that we just need to get people back to the track which means we have to take care of the fans who are there, get back the fans that left and find ways to bring new, outside industry people who have not been to our races come experience what we put on.

NMC: What makes up the M1 “Party” at these events?

Cameron Gray: When people show up to our events we have everything from exotic animals, snake shows, a cafe racer village, a crazy tattoo bus that shows up with amazing tattoo artist, Rock-a-billy bands. We reach out to motorcycle clubs and set up booths for them to come watch the race and listen to the music that they want to hear. We will have the past sport moto grand prix where we bring past champions back on their old TZ race bikes, and the list goes on, we try to create everything for everybody. Ricky Gadsen is talking about coming to our events and doing drag demos so people can see drag racing, you name it and we bring it to the events.

NMC: What advantage does M1 have in making these events successful, fun, memorable events?

Cameron Gray: The difference between us is that the tracks, and some of them do a good job but they have to run a facility. We don’t, which allows us to focus on these events 24/7. It allows us to do more, we’re doing a Big Kahuna Birthday bash this year for the kids and we already have a dozen signed up. Instead of going to Chucky Cheese they come out here, have a party under the Yamaha tent, Josh Hayes brings the cake out, we put them up on the Podium, put them up on the big screen, it’s going to be a blast. We’re always trying to think outside the box, we’ll even have 3 announcers at Atlanta, Barry Boone, Brian Drebber and Danielle Teal to keep fans informed and entertained.

NMC: With all this extra stuff I’m guessing that the ticket price for a Big Kahuna event is going to be higher than other events?

Cameron Gray: No it’s not, the ticket price will be the same as other events and with our ticket prices I don’t like to have separate paddock passes, I like all the fans to be able to go through and experience it all. This means free parking, free paddock passes a one stop shop for all racing fans.

NMC: Sounds cool, where are these events going to be this year?

Cameron Gray: The first Big Kahuna is April 20th – 22nd at Road Atlanta, then Homestead Miami Speedway September 21st – 23 and the third event will be at NOLA Motorsports park in NewOrleans October 5th – 7th.

Here we come, the beginning of the season is approaching!!

Following our first test in Alès, we are here in Aragon for 3 days of testing on the “GP” circuit that is a
bit modified compared to the one where we are going to race with superbike.

It is a wonderful circuit and also very technical. I had to get to grips with everything before we started
focusing on set up to find the best foundations for the beginning of the season.

First day was ok, although I was finding it hard to find a rhythm and was making many mistakes while
riding.

Second day was much better. I was immediately feeling much more confident and as a result much
less mistakes were made. My times were getting better lap by lap and my times on old tires were
more than satisfying!!

In the afternoon, we continued to set up the chassis and electronics.

Day three, the weather was very tricky. Since we managed to do a lot of work during the previous 2
days, we decided to call it a day.

I’m very happy and so is the team. I really can’t wait to be in Misano at the beginning of March to
continue to work on the set-up of the bike.

Talk to you later, everyone, and thanks for your support!!

Bob Scholten at the WERA West Las Vegas round

a confident Scholten takes Saturday off. “I was trying to save money on tires but I won’t do that again, I should have went for more track time on Saturday.” The first race on Sunday was more practice than a race, but Bob was able to pass a rider on the last lap to finish 5th. In the second race Bob had more trouble in turn one and ran deep while getting passed by a couple riders, he ended up in 5th. I stopped by in between races, Bob was talking to his team and says “I know what I’m doing wrong and I’m going to fix it for this next race.” Scholten does just that and starts his third race of the day by getting the hole shot. From there, he never looked back, turn one was no match for the focus and determination of this rider and he even started to pass experts as he took the Novice win. After the race Bob said “It’s a long season I’ve got the points lead in SRHW, tied in Formula1 and two points down in A Superbike so I cant wait to get back to Vegas and hopefully regain the points in all three. I would not be able to do this with out the help of my Family and sponsors ,Temecula Motorsports,AGV Helmets,Chicken Hawk Racing,ProBolt, Sharkskinz, Surf City Nissan, NMC, Arnette,Vortex,EBC,Pirelli, and Ohlis.”
